Mairin was a kick-ass character and she was perfectly matched with Ewan. I really loved the back and forth banter of the two. They were a really good match.

Re-read June 2017
It's still one of my favorite highlander book. Love how both characters are a tough pair but also love just as tough. ...more

So this book reminds me some of a Julie Garwood historical romance only not as well done. It didn't have the humor nor the historical realism that her books have. Still I enjoyed it.

There was nothing new or original in this story but I liked the characters. The dialogue didn't fit with the time period and it could have taken place anywhere. The hero did use the word Lass but other than that there wasn't anything that distinguished him from another alpha male. The book has more heat than a typic ...more

I am not a huge fan of historical fiction usually but I love Maya Banks! There is just something about the way that she does it that I totally fall in love!
I have already read what is available of the Montgomery/Armstrong series, which I loved! I was even a little confused when I started if they had any connection, and it was long enough ago that I still am a bit unsure!
I loved it though and I am really looking forward to reading more of the trilogy and more Maya Banks!
