Summary: Did I read the same book as they did?
Comment: All the other Amazon.com reviews here were so superlative, but I really didn't think this one was as great as they said. It's a solid 3-stars for the writing; it's got an imaginative plot -- but not a keeper. I think Maclean's later work has really come farther than this. It's pleasant, but it's not super-duper.

Summary: Warm and enchanting tale!
Comment: From Yorkshire England to stunning Nova Scotia, take a journey rich with romance and forbidden love with Madeline Oxley and Adam Coates.
Taking place in 1775 and spanning two countries, this tale begins with Madeline Oxley believing she is to marry Adam Coates, her sister's former suitor. When her sister instead chooses class over love, and marries someone else, Adam leaves for Nova Scotia and has several children with another wife.
Madeline's father receives a letter from Adam asking for her hand in marriage, Madeline is surprised but believes it to be true. Her father, who is ashamed of her due to a scandal that left her unmarriable, sends her quickly on her way to Adam's home.
When Madeline arrives she quickly discovers that Adam did not request Her hand in marriage, but her widowed sister Diana's.
Humiliated and finding herself weeks from her own home, Madeline stays with Adam while she figures out what she is going to do. In the meantime, he writes her father to bring the correct bride over.
This warm and enchanting tale is a full of rich characters, and a family held together by love and devotion. Madeline and the sexy Adam Coate find themselves drawn to each other in a deep emotional bond. When Madeline's sister Diana arrives, she contracts strikingly with Madeline. Though she is beautiful on the outside, her true fickle personality shows through. As Madeline and Adam fight their feelings, Diana quickly discovers something is afoot.
Ms. MacLean has delivered a wonderful story not to be missed! HistoricalRomanceWriters.com highly recommends this story, as it will warm your heart.

Summary: Compelling read!
Comment: Again, Ms MacLean has created a rich setting for her intriguing characters. Tricked by her father, Madeline arrives in Nova Scotia expecting to marry. But the handsome Adam has also been tricked by her father. He was expecting Madeline's sister. Smarting from Adam's shock, Madeline tries to turn her life around. But thanks to Ms MacLean's deft hand and delicious storytelling, Adam and Madeline find at first a common ground, mutual respect and companionship and the reader holds her breath as we see this very compelling romance begin to bud. But Alas, Ms Maclean twists the story delightfully! Don't worry, I won't spoil it for you!
Realistic, vivid and fabulous, this story is well worth the great reviews it has received. I highly recommend Adam's Promise!
