Romance, history and a really, Really demented bad guy!!  I am an artist so some of the characters being painters made this story a lot more fun for me!  I listened to the audiobook so the Scottish accents were wonderful for me, too!

This was a good highlands romance novel with lots of humor and romance.  There were minimal Gaelic language parts and less focus on the Highland Warrior for my taste.  However, it was still a good story line with descriptive parts giving you the feel of "being there".  I'm on to the next book in this series, still interested in the authors writing style.

The Munro Clan Highlander Romances #1

My Thoughts

I love stories about Highlanders so I was excited to read this story.

This is the first book in this series about the Munro brothers. This author created a short story in three parts. Each brother was reluctant to wed not because they did not what to find love but, because of the ongoing feud with the Gunn's which posed a death threat to the entire clan.

This was and enjoyable short Read .The main character Ramsey struggles much with his conscious over his love he bore Sabrina. They grew up together and formed and strong attraction that never bared fruit.

Many years late Ramsey has encounter Sabrina again and his heart still feels the same as it ever did. As he continues to deny what he wants but, Sabrina is kidnapped and now his hand is forced.

Love the characters Sabrina and English lass and Ramsey a rough and tough warrior. Two opposites yet they compliment each other and need one another .You could see the love they held for one another but, life just got in the way. We see a little spunk from Sabrina you would never suspect.

Ramsey a Highland Warrior makes some hard choices in this story weather to take the bull by the horns and take what he wants or lose the one thing that has been a constant bright light in his waring rough life as highlander always forced to do battle in order to protect his clan.

I think the author by creating these short stories is just getting her feet wet. There looks to be much promise in her future books. I would love to see a full length novel at some point.

Other reviews I have read there only complaint is that they wished the book/story was a little longer and I have to agree would have like to explore these characters a little bit more. But, we have to remember it was a short story to begin with.

Sweet little romance and a enjoyable read with fun loving and engaging characters !

Great Historical Romance
Highlander, Gavin St. James, Earl of Thorne has decided that he wants to put his past exactly where it needs to be, in the past and wants to turn over a new leave.
Heiress, Samantha Masters, have exactly the same idea, but in her case she decides that marrying, fast, is the perfect solution to putting her secrets in the past and hiding out from what happened to her in the Wild West.
This book had the right amount of danger, love, romance and HOT scenes to keep the reader interested and wanting to know what will happen next.
I received a free copy from NetGalley and honestly will buy more of this author as she really writes a great story and keep the reader invested.

So I was gifted this book for an honest review and have to say the Selena Kitt has done it once again with her shifters in Kilts.  I really love reading about the scottish land scape and the wolf shifters.  After Sibyl and Raife story the author followed with Alistair younger brother, Donal, and Kristin, the pack healer who helped Sybil in the first book. Kristin went to the MacFalon property looking to help her fellow pack mates but she met Donal, the new laird of the clan MacFalon and both felt in love.  If you want to see where this series is going and love them kilts may I suggest starting with book one and two cause then you will understand this series so much better.

I thoroughly enjoyed both of the romances set in Scotland. They featured many of the same characters.  My favorite part was the setting in Scotland, description of life in Scotland today is so much different than the U.S. and was very interesting to me.

Theres something about a man in a kilt that will make me swoon. Kilts are sexy any way you cut it! Add in a Scottish brogue and Im a goner! But the icing on the cake? A Scottish Highlander whos fierce in battle, gentle with the ladies and playful with the kids. How could I ever resist?

Wee William is such a man. Hes dreamy, hes sexy, hes fierce and hes a dreamboat with a wall around his heart. Wee William has his heart broken as a young man and as a result, hes refused to shave his beard until he finds a woman worthy of his heart.

Nora married out of necessity. The man she ended up marrying is the worst sort of man. Hes cruel, hes harsh, and he cares only for himself.

Wee William storms into Noras life one night. With these words Would ye like to become a widow this night? he alters her life forever. She becomes a free woman. She resolves to get her brother and sister from Firth and start a new life with them.

Wee William, being the honorable man he is, goes with her to Firth. And so it begins. Wee William doesnt stand a chance.

This was awesome. I love how it ties back to the first story in the series, Laiden's Daughter. It feels like coming home to revisit that story. Its fitting. Its perfect.

I must admit I was laughing so hard as everyone conspired to get Wee William to admit his feelings for Nora. That was awesome!

Suzan Tisdale does an amazing job of drawing you into the story. You feel like you're there with the characters and can feel every heartbeat, every breath they have. I love the way she carries the Scottish Brogue through the entire story without missing a beat. It adds to the experience.

I get sucked in so much that when my DH asked me a question, I answered him with Aye. He looked at me, blinked, shook his head and muttered, reading about men in skirts again. Theyre kilts honey, and its sexy.

Im really looking forward to the next one in this series, Rowans Lady. Im excited about each of them getting their happily ever after. Theyre warriors, they're fierce and they deserve some lovin.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Title: Highlander Most Wanted

Series: Montgomerys & Armstrongs (bk 2)

Author: Maya Banks

Genre: Historical

Genevieve McInnis is locked behind the fortified walls of McHugh Keep, captive of a cruel laird who takes great pleasure in ruining her for any other man. Yet when Bowen Montgomery storms the gates on a mission of clan warfare, Genevieve finds that her spirit is bent but not broken. Still, her path toward freedom remains uncertain. Unable to bear the shame of returning to a family that believes her dead or to abandon others at the keep to an imposing new laird, Genevieve opts for the peaceful life of an abbess. But Bowen's rugged sensuality stirs something deep inside her that longs to be awakened by his patient, gentle caress--something warm, wicked, and tempting.

Bowen seizes his enemy's keep, unprepared for the brooding and reclusive woman who captures his heart. He's enchanted by her fierce determination, her unusual beauty, and her quiet, unfailing strength. But wooing her will take more than a seasoned seducer's skill. For loving Genevieve, he discovers, means giving her back the freedom that was stolen from her--even if it means losing her forever.

Both Heather and Helen read this book...

Helen's Review:

This book is an exciting Scottish Historical Romance. Book 2 of "The Montgomerys and Armstrongs,but can be read as a standalone.  A fast paced story filled with betrayal, passion, forgiveness, and love. Genevieve McInnis was once a beautiful lass, now scarred for life all she wants is freedom. Then comes Bowen Montgomery, who is determined to save her and free her from her tormentors and demons. Genevieve was held captive by a cruel laird and his son, at the McHugh Keep, her family was told she was dead Killed in a carriage accident. Bowen was sent to the McHugh Keep to storm its walls and claim for the Montgomery's. Genevieve's spirit may be bent but it's not broken. In Bowen someone who doesn't see her scars but her spirit. If you love someone set them free if they comeback there yours.  I loved this story! I love me some Scottish Highlanders, and their feisty lasses. I love Maya's Highlander series and recommend them again and again.

Grade A+

Heather's Review:

When it comes to Highlander stories no one is writing them better, at least for me, than Maya Banks. With each book she manages to reach in and grab my heart and squeeze every single emotion she can from me. From the first page to the last with this book my emotions were engaged. I laughed and I cried, oh how I cried. Her Highlander books really need to come with a must have Kleenex warning.

I didn't think Maya could top a Highlander like Alaric the hero in her book Seduction of a Highland Lass, but how she does. My heart broke for Bowen so much when he does what he does because he knows it will make her happy.

Genevieve's story is so heart wrenching tragic. I wanted to draw her into my arms and comfort her. When Bowen figures out the truth of her life he wants to kill the bastard who destroyed her future, and is powerless to do so as his brother already killed him.

I loved everything about this book and have already read it twice.

Grade A+

Catriona is on the run from King David who has taken her captive as his pawn. He wants to wed her to an Englishman to get her brother Aiden, a northern rebel chieftain in line. They are the last of the painted ones who keep the old ways alive.

Gavin feels hes lost his way as far as his faith is concerned. His brothers and sister have married and he is feeling the need to move to his own place. He is in the process of building when he comes upon Cat on his land. Shes nekkid and painted in woad and he is having a hard time deciding if shes fey or real. All he knows is she makes him want to feel something he hasn't wanted in forever. She will not share anything about herself. He cant understand why hes falling in love with this woman he knows nothing about. All he knows is that his faith has been restored through her.

King David, Gavins brothers, and Cats brother are coming from different directions, as they find them together. Arguments ensue and Gavin makes a stand. They will have to strike him down where he stands before he lets them take her. He claims her as his wife and King David realizes that to keep her would cause war so he leaves. She admits to her brother and Gavins brothers that she is indeed in love with him and they all accept it as so.

With this lovely novella and much-anticipated Gavins story, Tanya Anne Crosby ends her Highland Brides Series and I for one am very happy to see him get his lady love his own happy ending.

I hope youve enjoyed my weeks reviews of these books as much as Ive enjoyed reading them. Please give this author a try. I cant tell you how much joy her books have brought me.

Reformed conman Tristan is asked to pull off one more con.  While his brother is away on his honeymoon, Tristan is asked to pretend to be him.  His fake wife, Kari, is playing the role of his brother's girlfriend.  While their acting is supposed to secure his brother a place to live, Tristan's feelings for Kari become all too real.

This was a great second book in the Under the Kilt series.  I'm really enjoying Melissa Blue and her Scots.

I received a copy of this book from the author and voluntarily provided this honest review.

This book made me interested in the other love stories of the men and women characters in this book.  I am interested enough that I will probably purchase the other stories in the Highland Brides series.

Chief Alex MacKinloch is trying to unite his clan against the onslaught of a British Lord who wants the MacKinloch brothers' heads. But while Alex tries to unify his clan, he can't help but notice the gulf between him and his wife that has been widening since they lost their infant son a few years ago. Laren has never felt comfortable as the chief's wife, and has sought solace in glassmaking. While the clan attempts to rebuild their keep, Laren is unwillingly thrust forward to lead her clan while Alex deals with the horrible English Lord.

SEDUCED BY HER HIGHLAND WARRIOR was an enjoyable read. Alex and Laren have been drifting apart until both feel as if they are married to a stranger. The POV shifts between Alex, Laren, as well as another character with dubious intentions. We get glimpses of Alex and Laren's past as they start to forge the gap and reconnect. (I loved the flashbacks! I especially loved the flashbacks showing how they met, fell in love, and married.)  I enjoyed the romance between Alex and Laren as they get to know each other all over again and work to comprise.

Laren was different than the normal Highland heroine. She's not the feisty, outspoken, headstrong lady. She's timid, shy, and insecure. She's been making glass for years (YEARS!) and has kept it secret. All the clan thinks she's lazy since she disappears all day while work at the keep goes on without her. She was endearing because of her differences, although I had a hard time understanding why she would keep something so important to her as her glass making a secret. The way she protected that secret and then revealed it made me feel as if she was revealing the fact she had an affair or something. I appreciated her character development and growth. She never became the feisty highland woman, but she did grow into her own.

Although I enjoyed this story, I kept feeling like I was missing out on things, as if there was a whole other story out there. Sure enough, this is the second story in a series.

This is the third book in the Highland Shifters Series. I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed all of the twists and turns. I enjoyed the story line and how the characters have developed since the first book. They have really come a long way. I enjoyed the chemistry between Jenny and Billy. I enjoyed all of Jennys heartache over trying to find Billy and wondering if he is ok. I received this free story in exchange for an honest review. Here is a synopsis about the book. Can you ever be sure of a shifter's heart? Jenny Layne has her man, but does she really have his heart? Just when Jenny needs him most, Billy Stewart has gone missing. Has she scared him away, is he in danger, or has he succumbed to the call of the wild? As the worst winter in a generation closes in, the search for Billy rapidly becomes a matter of life or death - for him, and for those who seek him. Jenny is the person most likely to find him, so why does she refuse to shift into wolf-form and join the search? What does she fear even more than losing the love of her life? In the third and final part of her acclaimed Highland shifter series, Ruby Fielding asks just how much would you be willing to give up for the one you love?

I love highlander books and Once Upon a Highland Summer is no exception.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching Caroline and Alecs love blossom in the Highlands with some ghostly help.

Angus and Georgiana are both ghosts that seem to have just woken up or realized they could talk to each other, they reminisce about their time together and speak about what tore them apart  family.  But the one thing that they both want now is to see the land they love stay in the McNabb family with Alec  McNabb leading the Clan.

Caroline is fleeing her half brother, Somerson, he has selected two gentlemen for her to choose between for marriage, and unfortunately she would rather leave than marry either of them.  On her way out of town she meets a Scottish man who helps her with her travels.  Alec has his own problems, he has worked for the crown spying and retrieving items for them but his latest mission went wrong and his boss is cutting him loose.  He left the highlands and Glenorne eight years ago vowing never to return, but his stepmother wants him declared dead and he is ready to go home.  He arrives amidst miscommunication, misidentification and chaos and things only get worse when unexpected guest arrive.

Once Upon a Highland Summer is an enjoyable story set in the Scottish highlands.  I adore Caroline, she is fun, witty and knows what she does not want  to marry without love.  She was willing to leave the comforts of her home and become a governess instead of doing what her brother wanted.  I did have issues with Alec, I like him but even after he and Caroline were together, he would not marry her, it took forever for him to realize what she meant to him regardless of money.  It was only after Sophia said she could not marry him and that was frustrating.

I thought the plot was well done, there were many funny scenes, I loved how there was this musical chairs with all the couples involved.  By the time the group was ready to leave back to London, they all had different partners they were to marry.  I also like the ghost and the parts they played  moving things, pushing peopletrying to get the two together.  A thoroughly enjoyable story.
