SINS THAT CAN'T BE FORGIVEN
Tristan MacGregor is famed throughout the Highlands as a silver-tonged seducer and an unrepentant rogue. Bold and charming, he's dallied with many women, yet none as mysterious as the lass he steals a kiss from at king's court. Little does he know this beauty is one of his clan's greatest enemies.
PASSION THAT CAN'T BE DENIED
Isobel Fergusson has despised the bloodthirsty MacGregors ever since they murdered her father. She's horrified to learn that the handsome stranger she kissed is of this clan. But Tristan means to possess her at any cost and Isobel's body turns traitor at his touch. Can a man she's sworn to hate be the only one she can ever love?

First Line(s): Arrogant imbecile!" Isobel Fergusson pushed through the heavy wooden doors and entered Whitehall Palace's enormous privy garde with a dozen venomous oaths spilling from her lips.

My Review: Not as good as I thought (hoped) it was going to be but still an enjoyable read!

I had a hard time getting into this book because it felt a bit slow for the first 100(ish) pages. I knew Paula Quinn knew how to write Highland magic so there was no way I was not going to stick with this book and I am glad I did.

It was a simple book without much build up on tension, just seemed to drag out the feud from the past... not moving forward or back until the last 3 chapters ( give or take).

I look forward to reading the next Children of the Mist book in the New Year.

My Rating:

Until next time...Happy Reading!

Ravished by a Highlander

FORBIDDEN LOVE

Davina Montgomery is no ordinary English lady. For her own protection, she's been locked away from society, her true identity the Crown's most closely guarded secret. Until a shocking betrayal--and a bold rescue--land her in the arms of a fierce Highlander, a powerful warrior whose searing gaze and tantalizing touch awaken her body and soul.

UNDENIABLE DESIRE

As the firstborn son of a powerful Scottish laird, Robert MacGregor has no loyalty to the English throne, but he's not the kind of man to leave a woman in distress, even if she is English. He vows to deliver Davina to safety, unharmed and untouched. Yet one stolen kiss leaves them both smoldering with desire...and desperate for more. With Davina's secret threatening to destroy his clan, Rob must choose between everything he holds dear and the one woman he can't live without.

RAVISHED BY A HIGHLANDER

First Line(s): High atop Saint Christopher's Abbey, Davina Montgomery stood alone in the bell tower, cloaked in the silence of a world she did not know.

My Review: Ravished by a Highlander was so full of anticipation and surprise. I found myself sitting on the edge with each turn of the page. Davina was so naive in the ways of the world but one can hardly blame her for the way she was raised away from said world. With that said, her being naive didn't make me cringe at the thought of her being weak because that thought never entered my mind while reading Ravished by a Highlander. Robert, oh my sweet Robert, he was what every main male character in a Highlander novel should be. Strong, sexy, a good warrior and protective of what is his! I loved that Paula Quinn kept us waiting for Davina's secret to be revealed ( although a part of you knew to some degree what it was going to be). While waiting for said secret to be revealed Paula Quinn wrapped us into other story lines that kept us on our toes and wanting more. The anticipation of waiting was rewarded with a fantastic story. I can't wait for the next in the series.

My Rating: 4 stars!!

Until next time...

Happy Reading!
