In this steamy Highlander novel, the reader will get to
know two intriguing characters, Keeley and Alaric. Alaric
has been promised to Rionna McDonald. When he stumbles
upon Keeley, wounded, his attraction to her comes as a
complete surprise. Keeley's healing abilities save his
life and she is taken, quite forefully, into the McCabe
household. This leaves Alaric with a bit of a dilemma,
however; he doesn't know what to do about his newfound
attraction to a woman he can't have.
Keeley had a sweet character. She was certainly
compassionate, brave, and somewhat outspoken. The reader
will like her instantly. She had been forced out of her
own clan by the crude father of Rionna. Alaric, for one of
those "conquer everything" types, was actually kind. He
was charismatic, handsome, and decidedly arrogant at
times. The reader will love following their relationship
through the normal ups and downs and when Alaric has to
make a huge decision regarding his future bride.
This book will appeal to any reader who enjoys romance,
specifically of the Highlander type. The characters were
fun to read about, the plot was intriguing, and the ending
was perfect.
A warrior is caught between family loyalty and forbidden
love in book two of bestselling author Maya Banks’s sensual
new trilogy featuring three indomitable
Highlanders.
Fiercely loyal to his elder
brother, Alaric McCabe leads his clan in the fight for their
birthright. Now he is prepared to wed for duty, as well. But
on his way to claim the hand of Rionna McDonald, daughter of
a neighboring chieftain, he is ambushed and left for dead.
Miraculously, his life is saved by the soft touch of a
Highland angel, a courageous beauty who will put to the test
his fealty to his clan, his honor, and his deepest
desires.
An outcast from her own clan, Keeley McDonald was
betrayed by those she loved and trusted. When the wounded
warrior falls from his horse, she is drawn to his strong,
lean body. The wicked glint in his green eyes ignites a
passion that will follow them back to Alaric’s keep, where
their forbidden love draws them deeper into the pleasures of
the flesh. But as conspiracy and danger circle closer,
Alaric must make an impossible choice: Will he betray his
blood ties for the woman he loves?
