The Ranger is the third book in our new series read, Highland Guard, by Monica McCarty. ✿

Chosen to help Robert the Bruce in his quest to free Scotland from English rule and claim his crown, the legendary team of warriors known as the Highland Guard battles on.

Embedded deep behind enemy lines, Arthur “Ranger” Campbell is prized for his razor-sharp senses and his ability to blend into the shadows. But when Arthur infiltrates the clan of the chieftain who murdered his father, his heart is locked on revenge. Inside he faces unexpected resistance from the sweetest of obstacles—a honey-haired siren who is his enemy’s daughter.

Intrigued by this ruggedly handsome newcomer to her father’s forces, the vivacious, enchanting Anna MacDougall is a woman whose skill at uncovering deception rivals Arthur’s own. Though yearning for a quiet life with a good man to love, Anna is drawn to this mysterious knight whose eyes devour her but whose words push her away. As danger, treachery, and the threat of looming war draw them closer into each other’s arms, a warrior made of steel must make a choice from the heart: love or revenge.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I think I'm going to start tonight. I finished the book I was reading and can't decide what to read next. So I'll start this! easy !


message 14: by ShoSho , Moderator (new)

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I had the impression that this is not first time Anna is doing something like this for her father. The tarts that she takes to that bishop sounds suspicious and I'm thinking she was the one carrying the silver that night.
Do you think her father is bad as Arthur thinks he is?

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I'm in Orlando on vacation lol I brought my kindle, so I'll see if I can get this from the library, otherwise I'll start it when I get back home. We're heading to Islands of Adventure today...if everyone would wake up lol

Yes I'm sure she doesn't!

I'm going to start chapter 9 in a bit.

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Just finished ch 4. What is it with these fathers who use their daughters to get info or get the men to side with them (book 1)? I would never send my girls out to be around warriors lol

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments LOL! Really, Susan.

Now, if it were me having to cozy up to a warrior, that might be different lol

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Starting ch 7. I'm leaning towards the thought that Anna knows what she's doing for her father with the delivery of tarts and all the food references. It seemed kind of suspicious when she told her friend she had tarts and she replied about sweet buns. The sweet buns reference wasn't about Sir Arthur ;)


message 28: by Susan (susayq ~), Moderator (new)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Starting ch 14. They're killing me with wanting each other and pledging to marry others.

I felt the same and those scenes were written very well. You could feel his guilt and having no other choice.
