True Highland Magic!

This is a wonderful, wonderful book! A genuine Highland adventure, filled with magic and love. I see that Sarah Gabriel is a new author -- I can't wait for her next book, this was a real find. Take a chance like I did, you won't regret it!

Stealing Sophie is a Sparkling Romantic Debut!

I don't usually find myself reading much in the way of romance these days, but a friend recommended that I read "Stealing Sophie" and I am so glad that I did! The description doesn't do the book justice. It is gleefully suspenseful and written with great detail and texture. You can practically see Connor's linen shirt draped over his muscular physique and feel the beat of his passionate heart. I really admire the strong female lead, Sophie, in the book- her witty nature makes her a fascinating character to follow. I also really enjoy the amusing descriptions of some of the other characters. Somehow Sarah is able to imbue even the most insignificant characters with personality and it makes the story so much more real. What I love the best about the book are the mystical twists that are woven into the story. Romance can sweep us away but it is the kiss of the supernatural that gives it permanence. If you would enjoy a fun, romantic and suspenseful romp in the Scottish highlands, definitely read Stealing Sophie by Sarah Gabriel. We all need a little magic in our lives and thank you Sarah for bringing it to life in your writing!

fantastic!!

This is what I have to call a great find! STEALING SOPHIE is a fun read, and just a pleasure from start to finish. Connor MacPherson kidnaps the wrong bride, and gets Sophie MacCarren, fresh from a convent, a sweet but feisty lass who refuses to give in easily when the handsome brigand steals her from her escort by mistake. She stands up to him, and he growls at her, and it was just fun to read. I loved it. The dialogue sparkles, the chemistry is great, sexy, fast moving and never predictable. Sarah Gabriel combines classic historical romance elements with a dash of humor, a litte magic, a sexy hero who plays fiddle and isn't really the bad guy he wants people to think he is, and a charming heroine who has a little secret that has to do with her clan's legends. The humor in this was a nice surprise. I don't usually leave reviews, so you know I'm excited about this one. I bought it for the interesting story, the beautiful cover, and because I love Scottish hstoricals, and I was pleasantly surprised to find something outstanding. Brava, Ms. Gabriel, I will definitely be looking for your next book!

Discover a great new author!

It's always a gamble trying a new or unfamiliar author, but I'm delighted to predict that Sara Gabriel won't be unfamiliar to romance readers for long. STEALING SOPHIE takes the favorite story of a stolen bride and makes it special, with a great hero and heroine and plenty of plot twists to keep things moving. Yet despite the fast pace and action, the author still manages to give us a vivid glimpse of the Scottish highlands. Brava, Miss Gabriel -- I'm ready for more!
