Little of what Lady Aila Graham has envisioned for her life
comes to fruition. Aila is the only surviving child of
Laird Graham of the prestigious Dundaff Castle in Scotland.
Her vision of becoming a nun is quickly extinguished with
the immediate marriage forced upon her by her father with
the handsome, but ruthless knight, Padyn MacLaren.
In exchange for the protection of the Graham clan from a
vicious threat, Padyn receives everything Aila is to
inherit, which will aid in the support of his own clan.
Having been betrayed by a previous love, Padyn vows never
to trust another female. Insurmountable misunderstandings
on their wedding night become the catalyst for violent and
ironic events. Amid clashing swords and numerous attempts
to divulge the miscreants, Aila and Padyn are also fighting
their attraction to each other.
I completely enjoyed the clever events surrounding the two
strong-willed characters of Aila and Padyn. The story was
well-written and interesting, as well as easy to follow the
sequence of events. Padyn is a stubborn and strong opponent
with a warm heart that matches the feisty and clever Aila.
I would definitely seek more works by Amanda
Forester.
Scottish Highlands romance is a perennial favorite,
especially when it's as intriguing and sexy as The
Highlander's Sword. Set against the backdrop of the
rugged Scottish Highlands and the tumultuous 14th century,
Lady Aila Graham is destined for the convent until her
brother's death leaves her an heiress and her father hastily
arranges a marriage for her with a Highland warrior she's
never met. Misunderstandings between the battle-hardened
knight and his lady are exploited by their enemies and
threaten the entire clan.
Only by throwing caution to the winds and forging a powerful
bond together can they rout a traitor and save their
people—and their love—from destruction...
