amalthiaOutlander and Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon
I hope I spelled her name correctly. I recently read these two books and I loved them, for once all the bad guys in the story seemed more interested in the handsome hero than the beautiful herione. :) It hit many of my kinks, though I'll admit it took me about 60 pages and being stuck on an airplane for 8 hours before I could open my mind to liking the book.
Now this is where it gets sad. This author wrote these two wonderful stories and then she continued writing books for this series. Voyager was not bad, but not nearly as exciting as her first two efforts, then she followed it up by a dreadfully boring Drums of Autumn and her last book the Fiery Cross I could not even get past the second chapter. I'm not sure what happened to this author to compel her to write such lengthy boring books, but I wish she'd stop. short is okay, someone should tell her.
