4.5/5.0
I hate story lines where lies and deceit are the main device throughout, especially with such an abrupt ending but one cannot get around the great writing and can't put down aspect here.

Traumatic experiences in childhood govern the psyche of both Emma Astyn and Sir Patrik Cleary MacGruder.
Unloved, abused, and alone in late thirteenth century-England, Emma (aka Christine Moffat) has no thought of morals and ethics. Surviving by her wits and cunning, she has become a top mercenary spy for England. If the money is right, she is happy to do an assignment and is not particularly concerned about who might get hurt in the p...more

This book opens in July 1297. Any fan of Scottish historicals realizes this is 2 months before the Battle of Stirling Bridge – the first Scottish victory in Wars of Independence from the overlording England. Diana Cosby delivers a story to ignite readers’ adrenaline as the legendary battle looms in the future. Cosby jumps right into the action on page one with Sir Patrik’s rescue of “Christina Moffat” from mauling English soldiers. Although he interrupts (and risks) his vital mission, Patrik can...more

This was a good book, it hit the ground running, but I think that parts of this were really hard to swallow.
We have England's finest, and highest paid mercenary, Emma Astyn (year is 1297)and yet she never behaves like a spy. Not once. I get that from Patrik's point of view she was a helpless young woman, but even from Emma's point of view, she doesn't think/act like a spy. With the exception of her competency with a knife, she had no spy skills w...more

What an awesome story... After having met Patrik Cleary MacGruder in the previous MacGruder stories we what he has done. Now we have Christina Moffat/Emma Astyn who also must come to terms with her deceptions. The redemption of two characters is what this book is all about and their journey to allow each other love!
Diana Cosby so came through here in "His Destiny". Never was there a moment of boredom, I couldn't wait to see what happened next.

What more does he have to loose? That type of thinking makes Patrik a great asset for Scotland’s cause against the English. But he should be asking himself, what is he missing he could possibly gain?
Patrik is a man doing his duty to his country, even going as far as sacrificing his potential happiness for it. He has already lost his brother’s due to actions meant to protect family and country. Patrik is once again in a similar situation he was in years ago. And as years ago he has to decide to o...more

Felt rushed and I know it isn't real but the story just didn't seem like that would happen.. ever
Another predictable but light hearted read.
good
Diana Cosby does it again with a real page turner that is hard to put down. This book is part of a series but each novel is stand alone so no need to read the others first but once you read her work you will want to read them all. I am personally so excited that in this story we learn grandma Macgruder has left another stone.. so maybe there will be another book...I sure hope so! enjoy!
it
I gave 3 stars. Good read. I would recommend.
This was okay. I liked Patrick but Christina's whole personality was a bit too confusing and convoluted. The ending of the book seemed rushed as well and the distances they all seemed to travel on foot seemed a bit far-fetched as well. All in all, an okay read but nothing special.

Most people think of retirement as a time to relax. For me, retiring at 36 from my job as a Navy Chief Meteorologist/ Oceanographer allowed me to pursue my passion—writing romance novels. With 29 moves behind me and having traveled through many more countries, I was anxious to create characters who reflected the amazing cultures and people I’ve met over the years.
