Handsome as sin and more dangerous than the devil himself, Braden has women swooning at his feet from the time he reached manhood. Therefore, on the day he returns to Scotland to hear the news that the village shrew has rallied the women and led them all into hiding, threatening to stop serving the men unless they end their feud with a neighboring clan, his brothers agreed that Braden may be the answer to their prayers. With his seduction skills, angelic looks and renowned negotiation skills, aye, Braden will definitely have the little hellion feeding from his hand in next to no time... or so they thought...
Having lost her brothers' lives through the ongoing feud between the MacAllisters and MacDouglas, Maggie ingen Blar decides enough is enough. Knowing that the only way to knock some sense into the men's heads is by denying them everything, she takes the risk of earning the men's wrath and convinces the women of both clans to go into hiding. Everything was going according to plan until Braden appears at the doorstep.
Ever since she was a child, she has yearned for him to look at her the way he looked at other women. Yet it seems that her brother was right when he said that she was the type of woman to whom men turn to for advice, the kind they develop friendship with. With Braden's sudden appearance, she goes week at the knees despite knowing that his seduction attempts are made to convince her to give up her plan. So how long can she resist this magnificent highlander?
After my delight with MASTER OF DESIRE, I couldn't wait to start reading this book. CLAIMING THE HIGHLANDER is a light and fun story featuring a delectable and oh-so-charming hero and a redheaded hellion for a heroine. I liked the premise of the story and really delighted in being introduced to the MacAllister brothers. Braden's good looks come with a really fun personality, and I enjoyed the sexual innuendos and witty exchanges between him and Maggie. I liked the fact that Maggie wasn't made out to be the village beauty, but rather someone who is passably attractive and has secretly been in love with Braden since she was a child.
Although the middle part of the book dragged a bit, CLAIMING THE HIGHLANDER is an entertaining book filled with witty dialogues and characters that you will wish to read about.
Next up is BORN IN SIN, which I guarantee is even better than this. ”
“A fun light book to read. I enjoy the love stories based in Scotland and hope to visit one day. ”
