With his health declining rapidly, Laird Morrison's time is
running out to marry one of his daughters to a suitable
man that would be the new laird-in-waiting. When his
second eldest daughter, Stella, catches the eye of the
infamous Kade MacKenzie, she is reminded of her duty to
family and reluctantly agrees to marry the dark and
menacing stranger. Forever yearning for a kind husband and
a marriage based on love, Stella finds herself slowly
changing her opinion of her highland husband despite the
threat of losing her heart.
Kade MacKenzie, the youngest of the MacKenzie brothers,
appears to be stepping up to make amends for his brother's
refusal to marry one of Lord Morrison's daughters. Truth
be told, Kade MacKenzie is quite taken with Stella
Morrison from the moment he notices her from across the
room. The rumors of her recent rebellious streak only
make Stella more of a prize to Kade. Mesmerized by her
beauty and determined to win her over, Kade embarks on a
journey to break through all of Stella's barriers in the
hope that she truly sees the man before her.
HIGHLANDER TAKEN is the second book of the series Clan
Mackenzie by author Juliette Miller. I am always
skeptical when jumping into a series without reading the
preceding book or books, but I can say with certainty that I
will pick this book up and read it again in years to come.
Cleverly written in the first person, I found this book a
bit of fresh air to the historical romance genre. In all
honesty, I simply could not put this book down once I
started it, speeding through the pages of a story that
tugged at my heart in some scenes and took me to sensual
highs in the next. Stella is wonderfully innocent despite
an emotionally devastating past. Kade MacKenzie is the
perfect mix of chivalry, charm and sex appeal delivered
with highlander brawn and savvy. I am adding him to my
list of all time favorites and hope to read more about him
in future books. In HIGHLANDER TAKEN, Ms. Miller certainly
has found the perfect combination of sensuality, sizzling
chemistry and achingly sweet romance that is sure to make
her an author to follow for years to come.
In the midst of a Clan divided, two unlikely allies must
confront the passion that binds them¦and the treachery that

challenge¦but conquering the heart of his reluctant bride

threat, and this time, only love may prove stronger than danger.
