I know with all the good reviews something is wrong with me, but I didn‘t care for this book. I read to page 150 and found the hero and heroine still wasn’t on what you’d call real conversing terms, they knew each other and really have the hott’s for each other, but they are not getting together yet, even just to talk... I kept reading and got to page 190 and found now they had some hot sex, but wait they are still not on good speaking terms or together (so, I am bored now! Although the ghost is...more

The Glen of Many Legends has housed 3 feuding clans for years. The Clan MacDonalds, Camerons, and Mackintoshes all lay claim to parts of this Glen and each feel they are the rightful sole owner of the Glen. Bad blood and many deaths all lay between the clans. More recent years the bloodshed is less and they have all learned to grudgingly tolerant each others presents but all are still sworn enemies. With a death of one woman this sort of truce is shatter. The woman in question is birth a MacDonald but was twice widowed. Her late husbands were Camerons and Mackintoshes. She was the hereditary heiress to the Glen. She did not leave a will so with her death each Clan has claimed her so that they can lay claim to all of the Glen. The King after receiving complaints from the Clans about one another resolves to stop the squabbling by issuing a fight to the death. Last man standing from one of the clans will be declared the rightful owner of Glen of Many Legends.

Catriona MacDonald is upset that the King has issued this decree and does not want her brother Alasadair or any of her fellow clansmen to die. Catriona knows that her clan and the Camerons and Mackintoshes will not back away from this decree because if they do not fight then the clans would be forced to move from their homes. Plus no honorable highlander ever backs away from a good fight. She loathes the lowlander and the nobles who have invaded her home to set up the place where the slaughter will take place. She is further annoyed by James Cameron the Chieftain of Clan Cameron. Several years back she had a run in with him that left her fascinated with him. She realizes she has compared every man to him and hasn't been able to forget his threat to kiss her if he ever found her trespassing on his land.

James Cameron has never been able to forget Catriona either. He has tried his best through the years to give her a wide berth when they've crossed paths. He is annoyed with himself for lusting after his enemies sister. After years of avoiding Catriona their paths cross again one early morning. Sensing danger nearby James is forced to intercede Catriona's trek across his land. Catriona has been walking across his land every morning since the lowlanders invaded their home to stare daggers and make it known that she does not welcome them here. Once these two paths cross again they each realize the attraction is strong between them and neither has been able to forget the other. With their clans forced to fight one another, the bad blood between their families and another unknown enemy, will this unlikely pairing be able to survive these obstacles?

My Thoughts:

This was the first book that I've ever read by this author and I'm looking forward to reading more of her books especially the upcoming ones in this series. The storyline was entertaining and the couple were sizzling. I love these enemy/lover story-lines so this was right up my alley. Catriona was headstrong, independent and spunky. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. Poor James Cameron didn't know what hit him once she set out to seduce him. As for James he's your typical highlander alpha male. I loved him. I can't resist a sexy highlander I tell you! I kept laughing every time he was trying to have serious discussion and such but his mind kept wandering back to Catriona. Dirty thoughts our boy James had about Catriona..hehe! The other characters in the book kept me glued to this book as well. I can't wait for other stories in this series. Kendrew Mackintosh the Chieftain of the Mackintosh clan is the one I'm most looking forward to next. Loved his craziness. I love that each Chieftain had sisters who have teamed up to make sure that peace reigns for the Clans that live in this glen. I only had two complaints about this book. I really could have done without the ghost story and all the mythical magical stuff. I thought too much time was spent on all the mythical stuff. It made the book drag a bit for me when those storyline came up in the book. My other complaint was the unknown bad guys. I didn't feel like they were necessary except to add a little thrill at the end there for James to come in and save the day.

Even with those two things I thoroughly enjoyed the book and will be buying the next book in this series. If you love reading stories set in Scotland with sexy highlanders and spunky heroines then you'll enjoy this book too.(less)

Sins of a Highland Devil is set in 1300s Scotland, in the Highlands. It tells of 3 clans - the MacDonalds, the Camerons, and the Mackintoshes - who all grudgingly own the Glen of Many Legends together. However, they are constantly fighting over the property of the Glen, so much that it has attracted the attention of the King, who sets up a fight to the death to see which clan will ultimately win the Glen.

Strong men and mysterious ways make for a sizzling and romantic read

When one clan lays claim to a piece of land there is the devil in trying to keep it in the family. When three clans inherit one piece of property and the only way to determine who winds up with it in the end is a battle to the death, the hounds of hell come calling.

But even amongst all the chaos of war and the determination to win there is a man that crosses path with a woman and regardless of how the battle ends these two will change the destiny of so many and that is the present couple as well as the one from the past. They are from opposite sides of the battlefield but when you have your heart beating as one the lines drawn start to blue and the ice that is frozen and keeping you apart starts to crack and thaw good things can happen.

This is the case for Lady Catriona a fiery woman who will fight anyone who dare cross her even when that someone is a man she has loved since childhood. James Cameron teased and tormented Catriona and while he no longer pulls her hair he still likes to taunt her with cryptic words, tease with his devilish smile and tempt her with oh so sweet kisses. But James is with part another clan and not sure who will die on the battlefield yet knows he very well might be Catriona’s brother and clansmen.

The battle is looming and fast approaching but Catriona still craves the feel of James’ lips pressed to hers and knows she is breaking all the rules but still chases after him. She clutches her amber necklace for good luck and prays that the shadows she feels are chasing her are mist and fog not the devil himself. There is much trickery going on and allot of the past of caught up in the present but still Catriona fights for her right to be with James and win him and his heart over.

There is such passion and intensity in this first book that I can’t wait to read the others. Catriona is charming and wildly protective of her brother and clan but James is so strong with his emotions and gushes with testosterone to the point it is coming through the pages of the book. Fabulous!(less)

As the book opens, the last owner of the Glen has died, leaving descendants in each of the three Clans that live in the Glen. The King has ordered the three Clans to each put up 30 men, who will fight to the last one standing. The victorious clan will own the Glen. Alasdair MacDonald has just received the messenger bearing the news and he is not happy. Catriona, his sister, can't believe her ears - men will needlessly die. They know, however, to defy the King is impossible.

James Cameron, The Cameron, is upset that he must fight for what he believes is his. He doesn't want his men's blood spilled in a fight that will be nothing more than entertainment for the Lowlanders, but he knows he cannot go against the Kings wishes. One morning he goes out to seek counsel from his Seers, and he comes across Catriona wandering through his woods. He's attracted to her, but his honor requires that he sees her home to her brother safely. While he is at the MacDonald holding, James discusses some strange incidents with Alasdair. They are in agreement that they do not wish to fight but agree there is no other way.

James and Catriona are both captivated by the other, but they know they cannot be together as their clans have been enemies for centuries. They keep running into each other (sometimes on purpose, lol) and lust blooms. Love blooms too although neither will admit it...

Sins of a Highland Devil was absolutely enchanting; the characters were delightful to read and I was interested in each of their stories, not just the hero/heroine. Catriona was a willful, fiery-haired heroine, in love with James Cameron but too proud to show it. James Cameron was an honorable clan chief, his want to do the right thing warring against his want to ravish Catriona. We also meet Catriona's brother, Alasdair, who is a very strong secondary character - honorable but with a sense of humor - as well as James' sister, Isobel, and the third Clan chief, Kendrew Mackintosh and his sister, Marjory. James has a second-in-command, Colin, whom I hope we see again somewhere in the next two books :)

Sins of a Highland Devil had a bit of magic to it, with Seers and ghosts and a surprising secondary love story. As I read, it felt like I was there, in the Highlands, listening to this wonderful love story, complete with battles and dragons and legends and lore. This is the first of Ms. Wellfonder's Highland Warriors Trilogy, and I cannot wait to read the next two books! (less)

What fire this woman has!

As always and one of the things that I love about Sue-Ellen's stories is that the lore, spirit, and magic of Scotland abound within her pages. The Makers of Dreams Grizel and Gorm and their pet white stag Rannoch, the Bowing Stone, and two spirits, Scandia and Donar, who's story will tear at your heart are sure to draw you in along with the magical mist that entranced me imagining it whirling and floating across the land.

The King demands an end to the feuding of the three clans of the Glen of Many Legends and calls for 30 warriors from each clan fight to the death until only one remains standing who will possess ownership of the glen. As I was reading the fight scenes I could actually hear the screams and swords clashing and see the men with muscles straining and faces distorted with rage. Smell the blood and see the dead and wounded where they lay and the ground soaked red with their life's blood. I could hear the crowd (lowlanders and courtly guests for the most part) roar as they cheered the deaths and felt anger about the way they were taking something serious and making sport out of it. At the end, the three lairds stand as one and the King is satisfied there will be peace between the clans now.

Little do the Lairds know that their sisters will form a bond and make a pact that will ensure this peace and so starts the journey with this series. Join James and Catriona as they accept the love that fate has in store for them and the road they travel to get there. It's full of banter that will curl your toes at one point and have you laughing the next, and treachery that will keep you wondering up til the last moment. And Magic... what would we be without some magic? (less)

Historical Romance – Jan. 25th, 2011
4 stars

Poetic and wild, Sue-Ellen Welfonder creates a real and lush highland landscape. The author brings together two wild and stubborn characters that clash from the very start.

Catriona MacDonald is as fiery as she is beautiful. When an envoy from the King proclaims their land must be fought over, she fears for her brother’s life because the land in question is wanted by three clans, which all three clans have claimed as theirs. In a brutal decree, all three clans have to choose warriors to fight against each other until only one stands and wins.

Catriona feels the upcoming battle is senseless but does not know how to escape this royal ruling. She is also annoyed by one of the rival clan’s men. The handsome and brawny James Cameron who seems to irritate her and set her heart racing at every turn. She tries to fight her attraction to this arrogant highlander. But James saves her and Catriona finally acknowledges that maybe she does care for him.

James Cameron is tormented by dreams of the lovely Catriona. He tries to convince himself that she is just a woman, no different for any other but seeing her in danger bothers him even if she is his enemy and being in her company fires his blood. However, James knows that she loves her brother and if he is forced to kill him, any relationship between them seems doomed from the start.

The start of the novel is very dramatic as the King decrees that that there will be a battle to the death for the contested land. However, it quickly focuses on Catriona and James. They spar against each other even as they try to hide their emotions. James typifies the noble, wild and unconquered highlander, and Catriona is the beautiful and willful hellion that captures his heart. Their love is filled with strife and passion. I enjoyed it when they began to slowly trust and care for each other. I also liked that there is a little magic in this story that makes it feel more mystical. The King's ruling makes for a lot of tension but for some reason the battle among the three clans does not immediately occur so there is plenty of time for James and Catriona to get to know each other better and for me to wonder how the story could end in other than tragedy.

This has the feel of the highland, and James and Catriona are as untamed as Scotland. They are both were fierce, headstrong and perfect for each other. Theirs is a tempestuous love that is exciting and magical to read.

But she also knows that the King's orders will mean the death of many. James Cameron has always had a firm belief in knowing that the Glen belongs to him and his clan and not the other two clans. When he is informed, he is outraged, knowing what this will mean. He knows he will have to do all that is necessary to secure this place as his. Then he finds a forbidden love in the arms of Catriona MacDonald, who even though is his enemy, she is also a woman he finds that he can't resist. Her passion and desire only ignites the fire within him, and even though he must prepare his men for the battle to come, he also can't resist the fiery storm in Catriona.Sins Of A Highland Devil is the first installment in the Highland Warriors trilogy. This trilogy is about three women who make a pact with each other to defend their homes and each other, and three proud highlanders willing to fight with everything they have to protect their clans. In the past I have just loved every book that I have had a chance to read by this author. Even though I did enjoy the plot and the story for the most part, I also didn't enjoy it as much as I thought. The main aspect that I had a hard time with was the romance. I felt like it was out of place in this story. I didn't really see much of a love connection, or how it could really happen. There was definitely many heated moments, some that were very sensual. However I didn't see a whole lot of a love story. I think maybe my expectations may have been too high, and so I ended up feeling a bit disappointed. There were times that I felt lost through the story as I was reading, and I didn't see much of a smooth flow of the story. I did however really like the characters, both James and Catriona were priceless. Both warriors in their own way, and willing to fight with every breath. I loved seeing them together, and seeing them challenge each other was unforgettable. I did enjoy the way Welfonder weaves a magical story set in a beautiful Glen that seemed mystical at times. It was also action packed, and swoon worthy at various times, but overall I think it just didn't fully satisfy me. However there were quite a few things that I did like about this one, so I do plan on reading the rest of the series.

I tried to read this as my first honest-to-goodness bodice-ripper romance. I gave it more than a hundred pages. I don't know whether books in this genre normally have characters spend so much time thinking about the object of their affection, and get hot and bothered, but not actually doing anything or the plot moving forward an inch, but that was really to much for me. I couldn't finish it. There wasn't even a real sex scene until page 175 or so, which maybe was too long of a wait for me.

Finished this one on the bus this morning. What I LOVE about Sue-Ellen Welfonder's writing is the way she describes the glens and mists and the bodies of water is you don't just imagine them. If you close your eyes and picture what she has described, when you open them you are surprised you aren't really there. She doesn't just carry you away in your imagination -- she takes a part of you with her characters. You can feel the mist rising above your ankles, see the white deer and feel the magic.

This was an interesting story. I loved the magic and ghosts. Made it so different from the other highlander stories that I have read. Its did feel like it took forever for them to finally get together. The battle at the end was intense. I hated that they had to fight at all. The cloaked figure was a disappointment for me. I thought there would be more to it than that. But that is ok because the rest of the story was delightful.
