Romance Historical
Lady Alyson McGillivray is spending her honeymoon on a
ship. Alyson has known her husband most of her life but she
longs to know him as a wife. Unfortunately for Alyson the
ship they are on is overtaken by pirates and her husband is
taken prisoner. Alyson had been locked in a trunk hiding
from the pirates when everyone has either been killed or
taken hostage except for Will, a child and friend to the
future king Jamie. Jamie was taken hostage and sent Will
back to rescue Lady Alyson. Sir Jacob Maxwell, captain of the Sea Wolf was on a secret
mission to follow the ship carrying the young future king
and ensure his safety. Jake must keep his distance and when
the ship is taken by pirates, he curses himself for not
being fast enough to save Jamie. Jacob insists on checking
the abandoned ship to see if there are any survivors and
much to his surprise he finds Lady Alyson and young Will. Alyson is worried about her husband and she gets a vision
that he has died so she fears for the worst. Jake is trying
to protect Lady Alyson and the feelings he has towards her
are not very respectable for a married woman. Through their
journey to his home things begin to look like the pirates
aren't who they thought they are. Jake and Alyson work
closely together to find out what has become of her husband
and the future king. Their journey is made more difficult
by the "feelings" they begin to have for one another and
neither is sure their hearts will come out whole in the end. The final novel in Amanda Scott's Scottish Knights
series,
HIGHLAND LOVER ends the series with a tempestuous voyage on
the high seas. Alyson and Jake have a chemistry that could
cause a tidal wave. Their passionate scenes and clever
repartee captured my heart and soul and left me wanting to
go search for my personal knight. The series may be at a
close but Scott is sure to be back with a new novel that
will win our hearts all over again.
