Wonderful! A full, rich story with a heart pounding sexy hero

This is my favorite kind of romance novel; a book that sucks you in and you just can't put it down. I especially loved that the romance between these two was allowed to evolve into something deep and emotional, not just a lusty superficial attraction that so many romance authors try to pass off as 'a love story'. Now this was a true love story! I can see why this book is such a run-away hit. Rory is the ultimate alpha male, and the author does a great job at balancing his warrior persona by making him tough, raw and flawed, but not going overboard and turning him into some superhero or unrealistic savior type. There was everything in this fast pace book; deep intrigue, action and suspense, love and steamy sex scenes (I loved how Rory became playful in bed toward the end. Yum!), betrayal and risk,...etc. Bravo to this new author. I highly recommend this book to fans of romance.

Sexy romance at it's best....

I LOVED this book. I was so impressed that this was her first one!! I would rate it up there with Kinley MacGregor and that's saying a lot. I absolutely loved how honerable and strong Rory was yet VERY tender and loving when it was needed. The chemistry between the two character's grabs you from the start. Not to mention the wonderful stories involving other characters. I can't wait to read about Alex in the next story. Overall, I would recommed this book to anyone who wants a wonderful romance filled with just the right amount of seduction and deception.

Historical romance at its best!!!

Rory MacLeod is an Honest, caring, powerful Highland Chief who cares deeply for his clan . Duty demands that he take a bride for a year. A bride that he does not want and has no intentions of keeping... but, Isabel is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She shows Rory such love and gives even though she knows the love may never be returned. Isabel's love makes Rory realize how impossible life would be without her. He felt more love for her than he ever thought possible *sigh* I couldn't help but fall in love with Rory. I can't wait to read " Highlander Unmasked" and " Highlander Unchained" I couldn't help but to fall in love with Rory.

The Return of Old School Romance

This book is a MUST READ for those who miss the sweeping "old school" romances of the 80s (and I'm not talking about forced seduction here, just high emotion and big stakes). I'd honestly forgotten how much I loved some of those books until I read this and it all came flooding back . . . I can't wait for the next two!
