HANNAH AND THE HIGHLANDER is Book 1 in Sabrina York's
Untamed Highlanders series. I love HANNAH AND THE
HIGHLANDER! Although this is the first book I've read by
Sabrina York, it will definitely not be my last. HANNAH
AND THE HIGHLANDER has everything I hope for in a book,
and especially in a hero.
Hannah Dounreay is my kind of heroine -- intelligent,
pragmatic, and kind. However, as much as I like Hannah,
the hero kind of steals the show. At the opening of the
story, Hannah locks eyes with a muscular and fierce
looking Highland warrior. Although she immediately falls
in lust with that man, she assumes -- much like I would --
that a man like that probably wouldn't be the kind of
caring and thoughtful man she yearned for. She was wrong.
Alexander Lochlannach, Laird of Dunnet, is everything she
wanted and more. After being tempered by a brutal
childhood, Alexander is both a strong and extremely sweet
man. This combination of physical strength and depth of
caring is a heady mix.
I normally hate too many misunderstandings in a story.
The communication problems Hannah and Alexander have at
the beginning of HANNAH AND THE HIGHLANDER are because of
Alexander's stuttering, and the fact that he tries to
keep Hannah from knowing about it. Without knowing about
his problem, Hannah misinterprets some of Alexander's
actions. I like that Sabrina York gives a legitimate
reason for these romance miscues and keeps them to a
minimum. Having the story told from both perspectives
helps the reader understand both characters a little
more. I love how they both have more in common than they
first realize. For different reasons, they both have some
feelings of inadequacy when it comes to their siblings,
even though they have good relationships with them.
HANNAH AND THE HIGHLANDER is a lively and charming
romance set amid the beauty of the highlands. HANNAH AND
THE HIGHLANDER is super sexy with great characters and
imaginative storytelling. This is one of those books that
you won't be able to put down. The supporting characters
in HANNAH AND THE HIGHLANDER are just as interesting as
the main characters. Two of the characters that
especially captured my imagination are Hannah's sister
Lana, with her special abilities, and the enigmatic Duke
of Caithness. I can't wait to see what happens in the
next book in this Untamed Highlanders series by Sabrina
York!
First in a brand-new series from New York Times bestselling
author Sabrina York about the bold, brawny men of the
Highlands-and the lovely lasses who bring them to their knees...
Highlanders are her weakness. Hannah Dounreay has no time
for suitors who only seem interested in her family's land,
which she manages as well as any man. If she marries, she
wants to be loved for the educated, independent woman she
is. But when a strong, silent-and spectacularly
handsome-Highlander saves her from a violent attack, her
heart is stirred. Who is this man? And if he asks for
Hannah's hand, will she be able to resist him?
Love is the most powerful weapon of all. Alexander
Lochlannach, Laird of Dunnet, has no time to lose. The
Highlands are in an uproar as clans battle for land-without
mercy-and Alexander can't afford to fall for the wildly
attractive, strong-willed Hannah. What's more, he has a
desperate secret, one that could destroy them both. But as
their attraction turns into an all-consuming passion,
Alexander has no choice but to prove to Hannah that he's the
only man for her-body and soul...in Hannah and the Highlander.
