THE CALLING OF THE CLAN: Book II Kindle Edition

Jacob Dare is a Patriot, Lady Catriona a despised Royalist ~ but nothing will keep him from having her. Not the American Revolution nor death itself.

From somewhere among the colony of North Carolina’s Gaelic gentry, twenty-five-year-old backwoodsman Jacob Dare is determined to find a bride to recreate the home that his father’s Dare Castle must have been. She would have to be well bred, well read, and gifted with the ability to turn the primitive into the palatial. If she Is favorable to look upon and sweetly dispositioned, that would be even better.

The Lady Catriona Kilcairn is desperately seeking to save her familial colonial home from 1776’s bloodthirsty insurrectionists, demanding she take the American Oath of Allegiance. Marriage with the backwoods oaf Jacob Dare is her only immediate option, and a most objectionable one, given that her love and loyalty belong to the Sassenach of her youth, the aristocratic Barrett Fairfax.

Yet, as the famous Scotsman Sir Walter Scott warned, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!”

If you like Outlander, you'll love The Calling of the Clan!

I'M DANCING ON SUNSHINE because you have dropped by my little part of Parris's Paradise. We have some things in common ~ that we believe good overcomes evil; that love triumphs over everything, even death; that we love a tension-packed story; and that we feel the best books enhance our lives.

I write for the reckless of heart. Not surprisingly, I identify with my novels' characters. I suffer with their bewilderments and angsts and rejoice in their joys and triumphs. And I believe that if we heroically hold fast to our own vision for ourselves in our journey’s confrontations and challenges, then Life WILL manifest our dreams and goals and visions, as it does for my characters in my novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pursuit of Happiness!
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017

This novel is set in a time when our nation was struggling with birth and survival. So too, its main characters, Jacob Dare and Catriona Kilcairn are struggling for their place in the world. Both are very determined people who are defined by their culture and backgrounds. They each feel that they have a definite purpose. As each of them works to achieve his/her aims, their beliefs and goals rule their actions. However, neither of them seems capable of connecting with their hearts in a way that allows for true happiness.

"The pursuit of Happiness" is a phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence. Yet Jacob Dare and Catriona Kilcairn demonstrate how hard it is to find true happiness when the head, with all its limiting definitions of life, takes control.

Parris Afton Bonds is a master of historical fiction. Her settings and her characters make the reader feel like a time traveler. As I read THE CALLING OF THE CLAN, Book 2, I felt immersed in the Scottish culture and values of the period. Bonds is also a master when it comes to skillfully portraying the battle between the mind and the heart. By the end of this novel, she poignantly demonstrates the need for love that each one of us feels. Her characters mature slowly and thoughtfully. And as they allow for a deeper meaning to take hold of their actions, we celebrate the victory of their hearts over the tyranny of their minds.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Compelling Read!
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2017

I happened upon this book at the recommendation of another author, and even though it isn't in the genre I normally read, I was so hooked when I read the 1st chapter with Amazon's "look inside" feature, that I just had to buy the Kindle version. The setting begins along the coastline of North Carolina during the unsettling days when the colonies were fighting for independence and still being threatened by Native Americans. An unlikely suitor comes to call on Lady Catriona Kilcairne determining to have her for his wife and he's not easily dissuaded. Catriona decides she must marry him in order to save the lovely home of her parents, the only home she's ever known. They say that opposites attract, but marrying one can make life oh, so difficult.
The author has captured the time period perfectly and has developed her characters flawlessly. It was a very enjoyable read and I couldn't put it down until I finished it.

I’ve read a number of Bonds’ books, and this is one of my favorites. The characters are well developed and her descriptions of the settings are descriptive. I appreciate the strong, independent Cat who finds out that being with Jacob keeps her not only strong, but happy too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Deep Meaningful Love Story!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2017

This story was extremely gripping. The love shown throughout the story became the cornerstone of their foundation.

Sometimes we don't stop to realize what makes our mate or even ourselves tick. A lack of communication and understanding can cause such uncalled for agony.

I received this book in lew of an honest review. Someone told me that I would like it even better than The Captive, book 1. I honestly didn't think that was possible yet it's true. As much as the first book touched my heart, this one went even deeper!

Excellent, Excellent book. I will read this series over and over again, it was that good. I'm sure you will like or even love it too.

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2017

The frontiersman, lean, tall and dark, wearing worn, skin-tight buckskins steps from the woods, searching for new prey...a wife.
Thus, Parris introduces us to her most fascinating hero to date, Jacob Dare.
Jacob's gaze falls upon a young woman with flame-red hair and lively gray eyes. Thunderstruck, he knew this was the one he would take to wife. Setting himself one impossible goal after another, he captures our hearts, while attempting to capture that of Catriona Kincairn whose affections are drawn toward her elegant friend, Barrett Fairfax (her Ashley Wilkes).
Parris's tale is a timeless one, as he tries to capture Catriona's heart.
So, curl-up in your favorite chair with a nice glass of wine and meet Jacob Dare, a man you will never forget.

Oh my gosh! One of the best love stories I've read in many years! Being of Scots Irish dissent myself, and with having my first ancester find his way to the colonies just at birth of the new nation only added to the beauty and power of this story. Bonds is gifted in taking the reader to the depths of despair to the ecstasy and the power of true love, all in the midst of settling a new nation. Well done. I will definitely go on to read the boxes set of Clans.

Jacob Dare is the one who shines in this adventure. His determination to have Catriona as his wife shows in the manipulation he does to make it so. Love and romance develops between them even throughout the fighting with the British. Strong family clan ties makes this tale a great addition to book one.
