Claimed by a Highlander

Slow start, but an overall decent read as the political intrigue picks up in the second half. Research is evident in the writing and only has a few typos. However, for some reason the page count resets at chapter 8, events are frequently overexplained, the first half of the book is essentially one long escort mission readers have to get through before Sybil, who is repeatedly damseled throughout the story, does anything interesting, and the author overworks the whole marriage contract ordeal in an attempt at suspense that simply resulted in repetitive reading. It also felt like Sybil’s rape exists more for cheap drama than actually highlighting marital rape as an issue.

I really enjoyed this story. It had so much history with enough leeway for a great read. Hard to put down.

Decent Scottish romance. It was a little drawn out but still enjoyed it.

I found the weave between real life and fiction made the story more amazing. Connected with the characters and absolutely enjoyed reading the book. Couldn’t put it down. Lovely lovely read!

This book from start to finish was thrilling, love, hate, men in kilts. This is a 10 star read.

Loved this book along with the first book to this series , I love the fact that these books are based on true facts and events and ppl

This is a great story! Part fictional and part real, it does not disappoint! Love the author, and her stories!

I’ve enjoyed this author’s other books, and this one was no exception. Another book I’ve last sleep over. Wish there was a sequel to this one.

I was fortunate enough to receive the audio copy of this amazing book in exchange for my honest review. I can honestly tell you that I loved every minute of it! There is non-stop excitement filled with a romance fraught with many of the same foibles we experience in our own relationships.... anger, jealousy, distrust, fear, as well as unconditional love and trust. If you enjoy reading historical romance novels, you may recognise several of the characters mentioned as having been actual historical people of the period, as well as many of the beautiful historic landmarks and sites steeped in Scottish history and still visited today. Derek Perkins does an amazing job of bringing the various characters to life through his exceptional vocal talent. He presents the story in such a smooth and seemingly effortless way, that you easily find you've become caught up in the story as if you were there. There honestly was never a dull moment in the entire story! I can't wait to hear Margaret's story next. This is a book I can easily recommend to anyone who loves this reading or listening to this genre of books. Don't miss out on this one! This entire series promises to be one of those you can't put down, and read or listen to again and again! 😀
