Publisher Description
“Action, drama, desire, revenge: Shadow Music includes all the necessary ingredients for romantics to plunge into the moors, mountains and magical myth of medieval Scotland.”—The Roanoke Times Prized for her exquisite beauty, Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel, the daughter of one of England’s most influential barons, is a perfect bargaining chip for a king who needs peace in the Highlands: King John has arranged Gabrielle’s marriage to a good and gentle laird. But this marriage will never take place. Upon her arrival in Scotland, Gabrielle is immediately entangled in Highland intrigue, as a battle royal flares between enemies old and new. For two sadistic noblemen, underestimating Gabrielle’s bravery and prowess may prove fatal. Colm MacHugh, the most feared man in Scotland, makes no such mistakes about the captivating princess. Under his penetrating gaze, neither Gabrielle’s body nor her heart is safe. “No one does historical romance better than Garwood. . . . Gabrielle is an enchanting heroine.”—The State (Columbia, S.C.) “A compelling historical romance.”—Publishers Weekly

"I give this book 3.5 stars. It wasn't up to par with Garwood's other works, but it was pretty good. Reading Ransom before Shadow Music will really help to keep the characters straight because there are a lot. I liked Colm and Gabrielle and I really liked how they didn't fight fate in regard to their marriage/love. There wasn't too much male/female misunderstanding in Shadow Music to create conflict, the conflict came from outside sources (ie other men vying for Gabrielle). However, the two main characters were a flatter then usual for Garwood probably owing to the book's short length and long set-up. Oh, and there wasn't very much "hanky panky"."

" We're back in the give and take of English/Scottish relations in the time of King John (mostly taking on his part) and we have another strong and silent Scottish laird, McHugh, coming unglued for the love of a slightly dippy English heiress. Men in kilts. Hey, it works for me. "

" Maybe because this one is #3 in a series and I didn't start at the beginning, but I didn't like this one as well as the other 2 Garwood books I read. It was o.k., but I couldn't really buy the Princess character. I don't know if I needed to start at the beginning of the series to have a different response. As of now, I'll probably not go back to the beginning to "catch up" on this series. "

" Wanted to love it but was so bored in the first quarter of the book that I almost DNF'd. Things got "better" but still lacked so much of what I love about Garwood's historicals. "
— Emily, 1/21/2014 -
" Really enjoyed this book and all the characters. Good ending, good characters, well-written, fast-paced. "
— Karen, 12/27/2013 -
" This was just as good the second time around. I thought I had already read it but got it again anyway. I love this story and the beautiful princess who has a huge heart for people. "

" A smidge under 4 stars "
— Trewen, 9/11/2013 -
" The book was decent. The intrigue and insight into Scotland were the most enjoyable parts of the book. "
— Diane, 3/1/2013 -
" I enjoy Garwood's many books, but this one was a weak effort. "
— StrangeBedfellows, 1/1/2013 -
" After some serial of historical romance genre setting in London, reading this book was a refreshing thought. Setting in Highland of Scotland, nice yet tough heroine. Could not put this book till the end. "
— Wieta, 12/12/2012 -
" 2.5 stars. Shadow Music is a silly little book. I think audiobooks can really bring out the triteness of a story. But, since trite and silly are not always anathema to me I give it 2.5 stars. "
— Gina, 11/30/2012 -
" Gotta love a book with a strong willed heroine that falls in love with kick ass warrior. "
— Mary, 10/25/2012 -
" good but not nearly as wonderful as the previous two books in the series. "
— Erika, 10/16/2012 -
" i really like this author, and this book was good, but in my opinion the climactic scene was too close to the ending of the story. still-i liked it. "
— Shannan, 2/28/2012 -
" One of my favorites from Julie Garwood. 5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. "

" Julie Garwood is the reason I stated reading historical books in the first place. Many years ago. I have read evey book that she has written. It was fun to read another of her historicals for a change. I love how put humor into her stores and keeps me coming back for more. <br/> "
— Judy, 4/8/2011 -
" Last of the Highland Lairds series. I liked this series. I liked the culture story of the Scottish clan tribes. Loved the romance and action in this book (not that kind of action...) and it was definitely less "salacious" than the first two. I'm sad this series is over. "
— Samantha, 3/26/2011 -
" I like Julie Garwood. I like her historicals. This was not one of her better historicals. I would recommend starting with another first. It lacked the humor of 'The Bride' or the passion of 'Ransom'. "
— Kathryn, 3/10/2011 -
" Got this as an audio book from LL and it made the drive to/from work more enjoyable. It was exactly what one would expect from the genre, but that is fine. "
— Cynthiaj, 3/3/2011 -
" I didn't finish this one. I'm a third of the way through the book and the romantic leads haven't even met each other yet. The style of writing is very hard to get through. "
— Valerie, 1/29/2011 -
" This is book three of the Highland Lairds series. I haven't read the other two, but would like to. "
