Really, I'm just looking to fall a little bit in love, or at the very least, enjoy watching the two main characters fall in love. And in this book, I got just that.

They are two very likeable main characters as well. You've got Clarrisa, illegitimate but acknowledged daughter of the late King of England, and you have Broen, the young, recently appointed Laird of the MacNicols clan. Both had their merits; Clarrisa was strong emotionally after the awful upbringing she'd received. It seemed no one really knew what to do with someone of royal blood that should on the one hand be respected, but as a bastard, was also to be sneered at. So it seemed they ostracised her quite a bit and this formed the incredible character we meet in this book, as she's about to be married off, or sold off is probably more accurate, to the King of Scotland who hopes to create ties to England with the marriage and to hopefully therefore prevent any future attacks.

Broen was a much more simple character but no less endearing. He is an attractive man and as such has a certain way with the ladies, but since the death of his father and being made the new Laird, hasn't really given the lasses much of his time. Until the feisty Clarissa stumbles into his lap of course. I really enjoyed watching Broen's playfulness. Enticing Clarissa into letting him steal a kiss, then further challenging her to kiss him back. It was all quite heady stuff. Their relationship was totally believable and I even shed a few tears right at the end at the seemingly awful situation they faced.

My only complaint would be that as much as I enjoyed the chase, the teasing and the hot smexy times, I just wish they had gotten to the love stage a bit earlier on. I felt like they had only just reached the point of understanding their feelings when the book ended. I believe if that point had been brought forward a little, the stressful part at the end would have had even more impact.

That said, I really enjoyed reading this and will add Mary Wine to my ever-increasing and growing larger by the second list of good hunky highlander writers.

I’ve always loved Mary Wine’s Highlander series. In this case, Clarissa is being forced to go to Scotland become the King’s mistress (and of course, be the baby momma). But Broen won’t let that happen; instead, he steals her away. She’s not sure if she should love him for saving her, or hate him because he’s just postponing what’s inevitable. Broen isn’t sure what to do with her, but the one thing he knows is that he doesn’t want the king to have her. But he can’t keep her for himself…or can he?...more

Acclaimed author Mary Wine captures all of the raw, rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands, where tumultuous times bred a race of warriors who fought for country, keep, and kin, and loved as passionately as they lived.
Beautiful Clarrisa is sent to Scotland to marry the king, but is soon thwarted by the handsome Laird Broen MacNichols. For Broen, Clarrisa becomes far more than a kidnapped prize. Sparks fly as he enjoys sparring with the intelligent and independent-minded lady from York. Captive turns captor when Broen loses his heart and risks everything to keep Clarissa for himself.

My thoughts and Review

Let me start out by saying that Mary Wine is one of my favorite authors. From the beginning of reading one of her medieval books I was hooked. I love her style of writing as she puts much thought into what she has to say into her writing of her books and you got to love all her sexy hero's.I love romance books along with Highland warriors so her books attracted me right off.I found Mary books out our local library and decided to give her a try and I am glad I did ! , been buying her books ever since...

Clarrisa is meant to be a Kings mistress and a broodmare to bore the King a son. This is not Clarrisa's wish but, that of her family and must do as duty call but, she is hoping to escape her fate or and intervention. Well, Laird Broen MacNichols has a beef with the King so sets forth kidnapping the impending Kings Mistress.The Laird is looked upon with kindness and fairness but he is also one of the best warriors to ever live.Clarrisa fears the Laird and feels that she is jumping from one fire into the next planning an escape of her own.

The pair are so different but, the eventually form a friendship. And although the Laird is a fierce warrior is has a soft heart that people rarely see but, Clarrisa is starting to.The two develop an relationship that brings a little happiness to both knowing this cannot last so the decide to live for the moment and enjoy one another for the time they have.As always love is never easy.

Loved the story and the plot was intriguing wrought with danger ,deception, and allies helping one another during the time of war of plotting aristocrats to see who is the rightful King. Clarrisa being a pawn in all there games!The book was fast paced and a page turner always wondering what would happen next and every time you thought these two love birds caught a break the carpet got ripped out right from under them. But, a love this strong must survive even if there looks to be no hope at all.

And wow what and ending never saw what happened coming as the tears spilled across the pages. A keeper for me ! Looking forward to Mary's Wines next book as always. A recommended read to all.(less)

Clarissa of York may be a pawn in the forever struggle for power between the English and the Scottish Highlanders, but she has faith in her wits and inner strengths. This faith gives her a unique power among those who force their will on her by brute strength.

The acknowledged bastard-born daughter of Edward IV, Clarissa’s station in life is a dubious one. She's of royal blood but not being born in wedlock keeps her out of the main stream of nobility society. She's the “looked-down-on” relative often used for the family’s betterment. Clarissa has no say in the matter. She’s reminded daily of “her place”, “her duty”, “her fate”.

When she’s sent to Scotland in hopes she will bear an English-royal-blood son for James, the puppet ruler of Scotland, she sees life closing in. Then, as silent as the night shadows, Highlanders come. She’s whisked away. Once more she has no say about what they do to or with her.

Laird Broen MacNichols wants justice for his family. He wants to keep the Highlander clans from feuding among themselves so they can stand together against the Royalists. He's a blue-eyed giant of a man, smart, brave, a man of honor—not a barbarian like Clarissa had been told. He causes her to have “wicked, carnal thoughts”. He's temptation. Yet, she cannot give her trust even though she respects him for giving her a choice. Her virginity is all she owns and he lets her choose to whom and when she will give it.

The many strong secondary characters make the Highlander's Prize rich with sub-plots. It seems everyone has his or her own agenda. Edme, who runs Broen’s household at Deigh Tower holds a unique place and gives wise council to Clarissa. Edme tells the young Englishwoman that there is a huge difference between being considered property of a man and sharing delights of being loved by a man. Another unusual character is Daphne. Her story brings out amazing truths about what lengths some will go to for true love and friendship. Oh, my, how tangled and secretive some of the lives are in this multi-layered story.

The antagonists, some less evil than others, but all threatening, create scary, heart-stopping happenings that make one wonder how in the world the hero and heroine will get out alive much less find their way to a happy-ever-after.

Mary Wine does a fantastic job of weaving together a very troubled time in history, amazing descriptions of Scottish castles, the unyielding environment of the Highlands, and horror of battlefields. She engages all the reader’s senses and pulls the readers into the time, place and action of the incredible characters. She weaves in the Scottish humor, sense of honor, Highland culture, beliefs, and fealty to clan. Best of all, she makes the reader feel the primal, sexual attraction of the hero and heroine. She delights with their posturing and their challenging each other as they find their way to awesome love that sparks and sparkles. Societal rules create trials and troubles for them, but their love transcends all and even reaches out to help others have and hold their own true loves.

Highlander's Prize is another Mary Wine historical for the book shelf—a keeper to be enjoyed more than once.(less)

She has always known that her purpose in life is to help her family and their royal bloodline. It comes as no surprise when she is shipped off to Scotland to be the king’s brood mare. She has never been able to make her own choices in life and when the opportunity comes up she grabs it. I loved her spirit, wit and courage. I also admired her ability to separate herself from her emotions and make the best of any situation she found herself in.

Broen is the young Laird of his clan. The Highlands are in troubled times and nobody knows whom to trust. Every decision he makes requires him to put the good of the clan before himself. This causes some issues when he becomes obsessed with Clarrisa, the most wanted woman in Scotland. Broen is a very typical Highlander hero, at least typical in the romance book version of one. :) He is tough, ruthless, loyal, mischievous and smokin’ hot. One thing kept striking me as odd, he regularly allowed Clarrisa to disrespect him in front of his clan. I wanted him to stand up to her and put her in her place. I liked when she showed spirit and stood up to him in private but it bothered me that he laughed off the public disrespect. It was a small issue and one that probably stems from me reading too many Highlander novels but every time it happened it rubbed me wrong.

From the very first chapter I knew this wasn’t going to be the typical Highlander romance novel. It has a dark overtone from the start. The relationship between Clarrisa and Broen is doomed to fail and they both know it. It becomes a question of grabbing happiness while they can or staying away from each other to spare themselves pain. If you enjoy a love story with many obstacles then this is a good choice. It seemed that every time they had even a glimmer of hope for happiness it would get brutally destroyed. I love stories like that and I really liked Clarrisa and Broen so I’m a little confused as to why I didn’t love this book.

I think it all comes down to me not being emotionally invested in the story. There were times when Clarrisa was in a horrible situation that should have been heart-wrenching but I never felt it. Somehow I always felt detached from her misery. If you have ever read Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander you might know what I’m talking about. While I was reading Outlander there were times where I had to stop reading because I was crying so hard I couldn’t see the page. Highlander’s Prize has similar scenes but somehow I never felt it. I wanted that type of emotional investment in the book but never got it.

Highlander’s Prize is a very good book, I really enjoyed the ups and downs of the story even though it lacked the emotional connection I was hoping for. (less)

THE HIGHLANDER'S PRIZE is an exciting and romantic adventure about a fantastic couple and their impossible love. Great characters, thrilling drama and a smoldering passion make this a 'must read' novel.

As the bastard child of the King of England, Clarrisa of York has feared fate would not be kind to her. Those fears are confirmed when she is rushed from her home to the hands of Scotland's king in order to be his mistress and provide him with an heir. The birth of such a child would certainly shake the foundations of England's throne, so the unruly clans of Scotland are willing to do whatever it takes to prevent such an event from happening.

Laird Broen MacNichols volunteers to steal Clarrisa away to prevent her royal blood from infecting Scotland, yet he is not prepared for the effect this woman has on him. He is easily bewitched by this English beauty and feels an attraction to her that is stronger than anything else he has ever known. With the King's men tracking them down and other clans wanting Clarrisa's blood, Broen must do everything he can to keep her safe. Others may see her as the possession of Scotland's King, but she is now The Highlander's Prize and this particular highlander is unwilling to let her go.

There are simply too many things to love about this novel. One bright star is the hero Broen. If you love a fierce, loyal highlander, then Broen is your man! It is far too easy to adore this sexy and strong highlander. What is first apparent is his ability to do what is necessary to protect his clan. Whether he wants to do it or not, you see him as nothing less than dependable and honorable. Yet there is a humble, quiet side to this character explored in THE HIGHLANDER'S PRIZE that is not only romantic, but endearing. His attraction to Clarrisa is a difficult obstacle, but rather than be the brute she believes him to be, Broen takes the time to woo her. He makes her realize there is something more than lust between them and I found that aspect of this novel fantastically charming. It may not seem like a true Highlander, but Ms Wine forms his character in such a way that you realize this Scotsman could do nothing less than honor the woman that has captivated his heart.

Now if you are looking for a spunky heroine to go along with your fierce highlander, Clarrisa is your girl. She is headstrong, outspoken and all around a delightful character. Being the king of England's bastard child has always tainted her, but Clarrisa is determined to give her life more value. As a reader, it is always interesting to find a heroine that will stand up to anyone and stand up for anything she believes in. Clarrisa refuses to accept defeat and if she wants something, she will fight to get it. This includes her love for Broen, but what makes it so interesting is how this love enlightens her. You travel on this journey with her as she realizes the difficulties and sacrifices that encompass a tragic love that she cannot live without. Like Broen, she has a modest humility that makes her a more enthralling character. Not only does it strengthen her individually, but makes her a perfect match for her hunky highlander.

I love a story that lets you fall in love with the characters and their journey...and THE HIGHLANDER'S PRIZE surely meets this requirement. You easily become invested in their story and desperately aching to know if they will achieve their ‘happily ever after.' Especially in this case, because their love seems to be doomed for most of the book. Their impossible love will keep you turning page after page in order to discover their ending. While it is very emotional, it also stunningly sexy. The poignant connection these two characters form make their passion absolutely riveting and the love scenes captivating. Clarrisa and Broen share a love that will warm your heart and an attraction that will steal your breath away.

Author Mary Wine has written a splendid Scottish historical. The dialect is accurate and humorous while the characters are lively and vivid. Her descriptions take you to an exciting world that you will have trouble forgetting. THE HIGHLANDER'S PRIZE happens to be the first novel I have read by Mary Wine, but I can guarantee it will not be the last.

I truly enjoyed these characters and their dramatic journey. Ms Wine sets up what will hopefully be the focus of the next novel in this series near the end and I cannot wait to read it. Ms Wine's historical Scotland is a place I'd love to visit again and again. With characters and adventure like this, you won't regret reading such a beautiful novel.

THE HIGHLANDER'S PRIZE is a fantastic romance that will sweep you off your feet. After reading this book you'll have to agree...love in the Scottish Highlands has never looked so good.

In The Highlander's Prize, Clarissa is an Englishwoman sent to Scotland and a prize for the king, however the Scottish clans are not happy with the arrangement, and Broen MacNichols is sent to capture her.

In The Highlander's Prize, Clarissa is an Englishwoman sent to Scotland and a prize for the king, however the Scottish clans are not happy with the arrangement, and Broen MacNichols is sent to capture her. Once Broen captures his prize, he starts thinking he may just want to keep her, but politics and reality can be difficult to thwart.

I really liked Clarissa, she is technically royal-blooded (she is the bastard daughter of the former king of England), but as a bastard, in England she is looked down upon. However, in Scotland, she is a tool that can be used to get closer to the English throne, a pawn. When Broen captures her, she starts to realize that maybe there are some choices for her, such as who she can share herself with. The more she is around Broen, the happier she becomes. I really like that she is not stuck up, she likes to work, she is not conceited (given, she does have some pre-conceived notions about the crass highlanders to overcome). Overall, I like her character and I felt for her struggle with her status as a pawn and the desire to be free. I also loved Broen MacNichols. He is a laird determined to take care of his people and to keep his Scottish ideals. He clashes with Clarissa quite a bit, but comes to look forward to the confrontations, as did I.

The story line in The Highlander's Prize was very well developed. There were twists and turns, and Clarissa was moved around much more than I had anticipated. I never really knew what would come next for her. The book was rich with history, I really did feel as though I had been transported back in time to the era where the Scots were determined to be free of the English rule, but their leaders were fallible. I was drawn to many of the secondary characters as well, and I find that I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

The Highlander's Prize is an excellent read, combining the fierceness and determination of the Highlander's with an unlikely romance that captured my attention and kept me reading late into the night. The Highlander's Prize is book 3 in a series, but it can be read as a stand alone. I will be reading the next book in the series as well, I can't wait to see what comes next.

Historical and Highlander romance readers, I recommend reading The Highlander's Prize by Mary Wine.

Must all Scottish men steal their brides? According to M Wine they do. This was a very typical Mary Wine Scottish romance. There's lots of "I can't have you but I want you". You don't really have to read any of the other Highlander books to keep up because I haven't read book 2 or 3 and breezed right thru this. Despite the predictably, if it's not broken then don't fix it. I still liked it!
