Lies and passion!
Highland Knight of Rapture, by Amy Jarecki, is her fourth story in her amazing Highland Dynasty series. This author has done her magic again!
I just love this series and Sir Eoin MacGregor and Lady Helen’s story was a real treat to read! Helen had been married for five years, before giving birth to a baby girl!
Insulted, because she couldn’t give him a son, her husband takes a lover, and Helen is now humiliated by his attitude and suffers in silence. What will happen her?

I had a chance to read this in advance for an honest review. I love this series, and this book did not disappoint. This is the story of Helen and Eoin. Helen has been in an arranged marriage for five years to a cruel man. She does not give up hope that her husband will come to love her. The man that she had hoped to marry when she was younger is sent to train her husband's men, and she tries to maintain her dignity throughout her mistreatment. Eoin knows that he should not have feelings for Hele

I loved Eoin and Helen. I was amazed at how no matter what Alec threw at her she kept her head held high. Were I in her situation I totally would have poisoned that dirtbag but that's just me ;). I thought the ending was kinda anticlimactic and blah. Alec got off EASY. Helen's brother (not the bishop) made me wanna punch him in the freaking mouth. The way he spoke to Helen was unacceptable. Knowing her personality the way he did he should have taken her side from the door and sorted shit out whe

Even though this book is in a series, it can be read as a stand alone. The author has written a spectacular highland romance with adventure, deceit and of course passion. I loved reading romances with unrequited love as the background. The characters were very well developed in giving us readers a lot to absorb.
It starts out as Lady Helen has just given birth to a baby girl and she is so excited and awed by her child. But her husband is not happy with the results after five years of marriage. He ...more

Where have I been, that I never read the beginning this fantastic series. I had the pleasure of reading Highland Knight of Rapture (Highland Dynasty Book 4) by Amy Jarecki. This book was off the charts. It had action, adventure and romance, let not forget the romance. After five years of marriage, Lady Helen has failed to produce a suitable heir; a suitable heir in her husband eyes was a son. So her husband rejects her and openly takes a lover while she endures in silence.

This book is very good ! The author captured my interest with the first chapter and kept me spellbound until the end.
This is a very special romantic story of childhood friends who find love amidst turmoil and bitter betrayal. It has the kind of angsty romance that I love to read, and the author really tugged at every one of my emotions. Lady Helen is married to a brutal man who treated her terribly and has sinister plans for her all along. Yet it takes her so long to see the clear danger. I fel ...more

Normally I do most of my reading in the morning but with this book I tried to sneak in one more chapter before bed. I wanted to read on just to see Helen reach retribution for all she's endured. She was a strong-minded woman refusing to let the acts of her husband drown her. Over and over again she kept her chin up. I actually wanted to reach into this book just to hug her. Then enters an old friend of the family's who trained with her brother when they were young. He's been assigned to her husb

Another well written, well thought out complex tale if treachery, danger, clans,passion and finding love. I absolutely love this series. While a series, each story is written as a stand alone. There is nothing not to enjoy in this story. The characters while, harsh, rough, and sexy they are also strong, realistic, engaging and well rounded. The storyline is fantastic, fast paced, energetic, entertaining and passionate. Another hit by this author. I look forward to her next grand adventure. A mus

All the action and adventure of a great story with a strong historical undercurrent Amy Jarecki's Highland Knight of Rapture was a great read! Rapidly moving plot developments, secrets and forbidden love set the background for the fourth book in Ms. Jarecki's Highland Dynasty series. A brave and honorable hero and heroine offset the cruelty of others and leave the reader with the knowledge that in the end good can conquer all!

Eoin knows what to say to his lady, “I did.” Leaning in, he trailed kisses down her neck. “I’ve always wanted you for my own, Lady Helen.” The blurb had me nervous but I found I liked the book more than I thought I would. I didn't like some scenes and I wished that a certain man got more than what he got but overall it was a good read.

I quite enjoyed the two middle books in this series, but this one I couldn't get into, and therefore did not finish. I realize that it was the way things would have been back then, but I couldn't get past Helen's steadfast devotion to her awful husband. He treated her abysmally and openly cheated on her, and her reaction was to work as hard as she could to seek her husband's approval.
Looking back, I should have realized that this wouldn't be a story for me, because I just can't get into this pl ...more

Question: What is more honorable? To help a married woman in a marital abusive situation or to honor the sanctity of marriage and what convention society demands? Eoin, childhood friend of Helen, found it difficult to decide how to proceed and with that Amy Jarecki weaves a delicious love story you won’t want to miss!
