Synopsis from Goodreads:

They never should have met. But they might be made for each other. Feya Broon, a Scottish half Gypsy, knows what it is to go hungry. Trapped in the Edinburgh tenements with a father lost to his past and only the faded memory of her mother’s faith, Feya is desperate to provide for her siblings. When an ill-conceived plan leads to thievery, she finds herself in the last place she’d ever want to be–captured by a palace guard. But there’s something about this man that tears at every preconceived notion she’s ever had about the haughty English. Alasdair Cairncross never dreamed he’d be forced to transport a Gypsy woman halfway across the wilds of Scotland. The timing is disastrous, considering his fiancée’s imminent arrival and his father’s political goals. Not only that, but the fiery young woman threatens to lay bare secrets Alasdair would rather keep hidden. And yet the farther they travel together, the less concerned he finds himself with duty–both to the crown and to the plans his family has for him. As their walls begin to crumble, Feya and Alasdair must fight to survive a decades-old feud, a Highland kidnapping, and the awakening of their own hearts.

My Thoughts:

5 stars.

Within the Veil was a gripping historical romance that had me on the edge of my seat.
I was drawn immediately into the story, my heart breaking for Feya’s circumstances. Desperate to feed her younger siblings, she is propelled into doing whatever she can to get them food. But her plans go wrong when she is captured by the handsome guard, Alasdair.
Alasdair must transport Feya across Scotland, but things don’t go smoothly and these once enemies must become allies if they are to survive.

Feya and Alasdair sunk into my heart. Both have gone through so much in their lives and have a lot to lose. They felt so real. They had sizzling chemistry and I loved how the romance developed between them. There is a Christian theme threaded throughout. I love how both Characters were struggling with faith in God. Feya struggled with believing in God when so many terrible things had happened to her, and Alasdair neglecting his faith in God to do life his way. The depiction of their faith struggles and temptations were so well done.
The ending was perfect.

Within the Veil was so well written with beautiful descriptive passages. It was hard to put down and I couldn’t wait to get back to it whenever I had to stop reading. If you are a fan of historical romance this is one not to be missed. I highly recommend it.

Content: Clean with descriptive passionate kisses and depictions of temptation to do more. Mild violence.
