The tortured highlander and the warrior angel

Donna Fletcher has made a good highland romance. Lachlan Sinclair has been given the task of retrieving Alyce Bunnock from a convent to take her to be wed. He arrives at the convent to find it is surrounded by a band of mercenaries and that the nuns are young and beautiful, led by sister Teresse. An independent, and fascinating woman who enthralls Lachlan to no end. But Teresse is Alyce, and since her and the young women came and established this community they've found more freedom then anywhere else. They dress as the mercenaries to defend the surrounding farms and when its discovered by the highland warriors what their doing, that their not nuns, Lachlan finds her the more desirable as they start to live together and two of his men find love with two of the warrior women. But as time goes on Alyce is faced with the decision of either the freedom she's known with her warrior sisters or know more acceptance, desire, love, and joy with the man of her dreams.

The Angel and The Highlander

I thought this book had a very good story line, but then again, I love any books regarding Scotland!

LOVE Donna Fletchers books

I have very much enjoyed everything I have read by Donna Fletcher and this book is no exception. I loved the hero and heroine. I highly recommned this book.

Worth Reading!

The first two books so far in this series have been the best. "Return of the Rogue" with Cavan, and "Under the Highlander's Spell" with Artair (my favorite). I have to agree with one of the other reviewers here that there was something about Alyse that I just didn't like. In this day and age it's easy to understand strong, intelligent women, but maybe not quite so in medieval times, where women were traded like baseball cards and expected to produce sons for heirs. I felt there was something false about Alyse not talking to Lachlan about the mercenaries - especially when she goes to meet one of them, and we discover her basic impulse for doing so is to find out how everyone is doing at Everagis. Sounds like betrayal to me. Five stars though, the writing is good and story is solid. If your looking for a great warrior check out Judy Garwoods "The Price" - there's something about Royce that gets under your skin.

wonderfully amusing

Lord Bunnock sends Lachlan Sinclare to escort his runaway daughter Lady Alyce home. To avoid marriage to a dolt selected by her father, Alyce fled to Everagis Abbey. At the convent, Lachlan is informed that Alyce died and that the sisters are in peril from outlaws. Lachlan vows to help the nuns, but is preoccupied with beautiful Sister Terese, who acts so different than the other occupants. To hide from her sire, Alyce took the identity of a dead nun. She fears her attraction to Lachlan will prove her undoing. Alyce also believes she and the nuns are quite capable of protecting themselves from the bandits. As they fall in what he assumes is taboo love, she must soon decide between her independence and temptation. The newest late sixteenth century Sinclare Brothers Scottish romance (see RETURN OF THE ROGUE) is a wonderfully amusing tale as the hero struggles between desire and sin while the sassy sexy "sister" struggles between desire and independence. The story line is fast-paced and very humorous as Alyce's web of deceit implodes by her falling in love. Fans will enjoy the latest Sinclare entry due to the lead duo. Harriet Klausner
