ANGEL OF SKYE
The Macpherson Saga Begins...
Winner of the Holt Medallion for Best Historical Romance

From the untamed shores of Scotland's Western Isles to the brutal battlefields of France and the opulent courts of Europe, the Macpherson Trilogy embarks on a riveting journey through a family's quest for Scottish independence against the formidable Tudor king, Henry VIII.

Unveil the Hidden Flames...

Fiona does not remember the years before she came to the priory on the Isle of Skye. Only the compassionate Prioress holds the key to the spirited redhead's true lineage. Cloaked in a humble cowl and simple peasant's dress, Fiona emerges from the island's mist to confront Alec Macpherson, the renowned warrior chief of the Highlands.

Love as a Shield...

Alec has served King James with his sword. Now he would give his very soul to safeguard this enchanting girl from the intricate web of intrigue that threatens her. Fiona needs not only protection, but also Alec's love, and he willingly surrenders it. Yet, the king's adversaries are maneuvering Fiona towards a perilous trap, for her memories harbor the face of her mother's murderer and a secret potent enough to shake the Scottish throne.

A Battle of Hearts and Honor...

In a gripping clash between Highland strength and a foe's ruthless ambitions, Alec and Fiona must navigate through blood and warfare to determine the ultimate victor—whether it be the might of an army or the unyielding passions that bind two lovers. Before it is over, the stars align in an epic tale where love is a force as formidable as any armed legion...

May McGoldrick, Nik James, and Jan Coffey are pen names for USA Today bestselling authors Nikoo Kafi and Jim McGoldrick. Together, they have crafted over fifty fast-paced, conflict-filled historical, contemporary, and Western novels, and two works of nonfiction.

Nikoo’s education and training was in engineering. She worked in robotics and submarine shipbuilding. Before earning a PhD in sixteenth-century Scottish and English literature, Jim pursued a hundred and one jobs, including a decade in submarine construction.

Storytellers at heart, Nikoo and Jim were always searching for careers that gave them time for both family and writing. Then, after thirteen years of marriage, they recognized each other’s creative strengths. Nikoo is all about characters and feeling. Jim is about action and sense of place. Their first attempt in writing fiction together produced their award-winning novel, The Thistle and the Rose. Since then, their stories have touched the hearts and minds of millions of readers all over the world. Their work has been translated into over a dozen languages and counting.

Nikoo and Jim are four-time Rita Finalists and the winners of numerous awards for their writing, including the Daphne DeMaurier Award for Excellence, the Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award, three NJRW Golden Leaf Awards, two Holt Medallions, and the Connecticut Press Club Award for Best Fiction.

The authors make their home in California.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED EVERY WORD
Reviewed in Canada on February 20, 2000
This is the first book I have read of May and Jim McGoldricks'. They are a great writing couple. I love their characters, their strength, intelligence and the love they had for each other. The honesty they shared...none of the usual hate, love drivel. They kept me in suspense but not for so long I lost interest. They know how to cut to the chase and I can't get enough of their writing. I am now compiling a library of all their great KEEPERS.

I've loved reading both The Thistle and the Rose and Angel of the Skye.
Both stories full of humour and wonderful love stories, also villains and heroes.
And the history of the Scottish Highlands.
I'm looking forward to reading more McPherson Clan stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2014

I really loved this book. It's well written, with a dynamic plot, and an amazing cast of characters! Alongside the romance, there is a pervading sub-plot that dominates the story; namely, the unsolved mystery of Fiona's mother's murder, and the identify of the infidel who is plotting Fiona's demise. We first meet Fiona when she's five years old, happily anticipating her father's long awaited arrival. Unfortunately, before he arrives, other men invade her home, kill her mother, and take Fiona away.

Fourteen years later, Fiona is living in a Priory on the Isle of Skye. She has no memory of her past. Alec Macpherson is the newly appointed Laird of the Isle of Skye. He and Fiona first meet under less than auspicious circumstances...her masquerading as a leper of all things. There is an immediate attraction between Alec and Fiona. Alec is drawn to the mysterious beauty, who is neither leper nor nun...as were his first and second beliefs. LOL As the two spend more time together, their attraction develops and strengthens.

The romance between Alec and Fiona is oh so sweet; he's so caring, and tender with her, it was a delight to read. When Fiona is attacked, the trauma from the attack induces her memories to begin to resurface. Shortly after, the identity of Fiona's father is revealed. It then becomes clear that there are those who will go to any lengths to dispense with Fiona. Alec is determined to protect Fiona at any cost, even as he fights against his feelings for her. Fiona feels just as strongly for Alec; however, and refuses to allow him to retreat from her and their budding relationship.

This is a thoroughly engaging story and makes for a compelling read. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes a healthy dose of intrigue with their romance. BTW, this is not a clean romance. Happy reading!

I really didn't like this soppy story where clichés replace description of sentiments and where over-played sex scenes unecessarily fill pages and pages and pages... 'Skye' in the title lured me in but it soon lost its pull.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written and researched, but tedious
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023

Historical romance is my favorite genre, and the authors certainly made the era come so alive you felt and saw everything described to you. In addition, the history was spot on with only one exception involving a regicide whose perpetrator remains unknown to this day.

In this novel, we have Fiona, whose beauty and kindness are looked upon by Skye’s oppressed, superstitious peasants as an angel or a fairy, thus the title of the book.
Unfortunately for my patience, she clearly demonstrates the huge gap between being a strong woman and a headstrong fool. Nearly run down by a stallion in the woods, saved mere moments later before being raped and murdered by 4 thugs, she refuses to mention any of it to the prioress who raised her because she doesn’t want her freedom curtailed or, heaven forbid, be required to have someone accompany her. Instead, she carries on in the same vein, endangering others in her path and, apparently, never learning from it.

Our hero, Alec, is everything you’d want him to be, except he’s unable to act on the fact that life for both of them would be so much simpler if he let Fiona in on a few niggling details, like his vicious ex-fiancé or the back-stabbing politics of court life to which Fiona is now entitled. I’m so tired of people who do not TALK TO EACH OTHER, but then there would be no storyline and no novel so, cue mayhem and more mess-capades and rescues.

This was a book club choice and garnered much discussion which is gratifying. One member said and we all agreed, that this book would have made a better movie. Pages would be edited out because we’d be seeing, not reading and, remember, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
