When Scotland’s Queen Annabella dies, her devastated niece, Lady Marsaili Cargill, takes charge of the seven-year-old prince James, who is second in line to the throne. But rumors abound that the King’s brother—the Duke of Albany—will stop at nothing to fulfill his ambition to govern Scotland. But before Marsi can help the young prince escape to the safety of St. Andrews Academy, she will need to confront the men seeking to use her—and accept the help of the King’s devoted master archer, Sir Ivor Mackintosh. With traitors and assassins all around, Marsi and Ivor must risk all for the little prince James, while hoping for a future that will allow their love to flourish.

My Review

I am a huge fan of this time period it’s right before the well known time of HenryVIII and all of the mess with Scotland and England. It’s a time we don’t always hear a lot about and I think that is why I really enjoyed this book. It was different, but still very familiar. Highland Hero is part of the Scottish Knights series and follows Ivor Mackintosh and Marsaili on an adventure across Scotland. It’s a very entertaining read that will sweep you away into a time where men were a little more honorable and women who spoke there mind were rare. The two fall for each other very quickly, but the story has a few twist before they can get to their happily ever after.

Alex MacDonald is known for his skill as a warrior, his prowess with women, and his vow to never take a wife. But now his chieftain has asked him to make the ultimate sacrifice: wed Glynis MacNeil, a lass famed throughout the Highlands for her exquisite beauty—and defiant ways. Familiar with heartbreak, Glynis refuses to fall for another handsome scoundrel. Yet when Alex’s past sins force an unlikely union, Glynis gives in to temptation and becomes his wife. Will their newfound passion be strong enough to fight the enemy that threatens their home, their clan, and their very lives?

My Review

This is the second book in The Return of The Highlanders Series. In Book I The Guardian we met Ian, Alex, Conner and Duncan and learned Ians story, now we learn about Alex and the surprising twist and turns his past has brought to his present. Not only does he meet Glynis, but he learns that the past has caught up with him and now he must be responsible for it.

Really I enjoyed this book so much that I couldn’t put it down. In fact I read the whole thing in about four hours! I stopped only for a snack and a quick email check as my phone went off a few times with important messages! I love the characters of Ales and Glynis, they are strong willed, but this story is not just about romance and a happy ending, but about trust and putting your trust in the ones you love is the only way to be really happy.
