3.5 but on the high end.
I enjoyed it. It was a sweet romance (which was the best part of this story-a very romance-centered story) and it was plenty steamy for even this Highland Hussy.
This story starts out with English Lady Arabella on her way to Stirling in Scotland to be married to an English baron named Sir Stewart. But on the way some Scottish rebels attack her people. One of the barbarians sees her fighting for her life and plucks her from he...more

I began this book with great joy and excitement! Not only was it in my favorite genre, but I was going to meet a new friend! I look at authors as friends you see; they share so much of my time, so how could they not be? So when I pick up a book with a new-to-me author, well, I was borderline giddy! This one had a great big plus going for it because it had a favorite man of mine from history woven through it… William Wallace! This is the story of Magnus and Arbella, and how a couple of strong men...more
The King of England has ordered Arbella de Mowbray to marry Marmaduke Stewart who is an English Noble living in Scotland. The king has decided that won way to defeat Scotland is though English blood living there. Arbella just cannot seem to warm up to the idea of marrying this Marmaduke though she has never met him she feels very hesitant and wants to flee but her father stands firm and so Arbella faces her future with trepidation. Once they reach Scotland Arbella finds herself in the middle of...more
I really enjoyed this book. There is plenty of action and romance with scenes that will make you smile. Lady Arbella is being taken to Scotland to marry a Lord she has not yet met, that the King has chosen for her. Her maid, Glenda, has filled Arbella's head with stories of how horrible the Scots are. Needless to say, Arbella has multiple concerns about the situation, being English, soon to be married to an English man, living in Scotland, when England and Scotland are at war. When she and her f...more
Eliza Knight has done it again. The Highlander’s Reward marks the beginning of a new series that already has me panting (no pun intended) for more.
Arbella de Mowbray is tempted to ditch her father who is escorting her to her betrothed. She doesn’t want to marry Marmaduke Stewart, an English Baron living in Scotland. Before she’s able to come up with a plan, her party is attacked and she finds herself fighting for her life. In the thick of the battle, Magnus Sutherland, Laird of his clan, spots t...more

When English lady Arbella de Mowbray rode with her father to meet her fiancé at Stirling, she hardly expected to ride straight into the middle of a battle. Nor did she expect to be swept off her feet by the enemy: Sutherland Clan’s laird, Magnus. Coerced into marriage for her protection, Arbella decides the union would be in name only—after all, what self-respecting English lady wants a barbarian Scotsman for a husband?

This was my first Eliza Knight book and my first Highlander story. I have found a new author and new series I will be reading in the future! Eliza's writing is so easy to read and the plot moves along at a great pace. I was hooked from the beginning. I loved Magnus and Arbella from the first scene in which I met them. Such honesty and honor in both of them.
Magnus is a Scotland warrior. Abella is an Englishwoman. Their countries are at war with one another. From the moment Magnus rode in and sna...more

I love me a Scottish romance. And this one was a little different than the many many others that I have read. This time he saves her, than marries her to save her some more. And this time it’s not about rival clans…oh no. It’s the war between the English and the Scottish in the 1200s and a certain Brave-hearted William Wallace ever makes a littler appearance. So it tickled the historian in my a little. Then there we...more

"Ye will see one day brother, that even though ye're the Laird Sutherland, love will come up to catch ye in its grasp." Ominous words spoken to our hero Magnus by his sister Lorna as he escorts her to the home of her betrothed. Of course Magnus scoffs at his sister. He thinks that love is a game for fools; a game that he has no time for since he is the Laird of a rather large clan in the Highlands of Scotland. Little does he know that he will run into William Wallace on the way home after droppi...more
It was cute, a nice diversion. It took me about 2 days to read. I enjoyed it. The female lead was not an idiot and the male lead was sexy. What more do you want? :) Of course, this is your typical highland laird who is too manly to ever love meets fiery English maiden who doesn't know how beautiful she is. These stories are my weakness though and I can't stop reading them. This story was well done.

5***** sorry the other stars won't work for me.
This is a wonderful book. I really enjoyed it. The characters are colourful and the history is well written. I loved the way the heroine could take care of herself in a time when they were never expected to. I have never read this author before but I certainly will look for more of her books.

I have never read anything by this author, I don't know if this is a debut for her, or I've just missed the name but I'm so glad this book popped up as a recommendation on my Kindle. This book was great, and I can't wait for the next installment!
I like the story. But i found it was all about magnus and not eliza. What ever your opinon you would not be waisting your time reading this book. Magnus is no Christian Grey but no one can be that perfect :)
I liked how the book kept some believable action and the main characters weren't as "stubborn" as many are in today books. lets you believe not EVERYONE has given up on lovr

this is a good and fast paced books, not really have some angst moment and the problem is not too heavy to follow. overall, this is an enjoyable book
I didn't like the writing style much; I found it at bit jerky & abrupt for some reason never warmed to the H/H. Ended flipping abit towards the end.

Great fast read, good character and plot, not just your basic romance, history intertwined with lots of passion. Couldn't put it down!
An incredible Scottish Romance from Eliza Knight!
"The Highlander's Reward" completely enveloped me into its sensual and passionate storyline from the very beginning all the way through to the end.
I can't wait for the release of the next in her series!

3.5. A good read n planning to read next in series. I liked Magnus n he was amazing towards his wife.
Quick read and a little predictable. For me, though I enjoyed it, the book was too dull for me but I'm looking forward her 2nd book.

Great book!
This isn't what I'm normally accustomed to when reading my favorite Highlander books. By that I mean incredible attention to historical detail, the inevitable violence which comes with a medieval theme and lots of intrigue and twists and turns. However, it was an enjoyable read and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I'm looking forward to reading the second book in the series. :)
Arbella is to be married to another man but before she can meet her to-be husband Mangus saves her from a group of rebels. Mangus decides the only way to keep her safe is to marry. But Arbella wants a marriage in name only that is until they share their first heated kiss...
Good story flows nicely but not a lot on the romance side and not the steamiest scenes. It was like a good PG movie you'd watch once but probably wouldn't give it another go, but still worth a read if you love the highland genre and u want something easy to read.
