the highlander takes a bride by lynsay sands

I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.Argeneau/Rogue Hunter Books In Chronological Orderĭevil of the Highlands Books In Publication Order I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher for purpose of honest review. With plenty of moments to steam up the read as Greer and Saidh enjoy their alone time, the emotional connection between the two is built with solidity, feeling both plausible and possible.

The tension and build for danger is apparent, and the scenes with the brothers, Greer and Saidh are laugh out loud for their commotion, posturing for supremacy and Saidh’s easy and offhanded way of managing / lording over her brothers. While not a new or unfamiliar trope, Sands uses humor and description (Saidh climbing Greer like a kitten) are clever and funny, bringing easy visuals with moments to laugh. Greer is not one for flowery phrases, but the attraction he has for Saidh hits him like a brick, and he will not ruin the young girl, despite her determination to be ruined.įun and funny: even when Saidh’s life is jeopardized by a surprising corner, the invasion of the Buchanan brothers and one young squire who acts like an elderly parson even as he is wholly loyal to his laird Greer and his new lady. Together these two are so clever and well-matched: Saidh is plain-spoken and often blunt, with a good heart and a solid sense of who she is. A former mercenary fighter, Greer is not comfortable with the new position, but an honorable man through and through, he will do his duty and protect those under his roof. Greer is the unexpected heir to the MacDonnell clan, with the death of his cousin Allen. Her cousin Fenella is mourning the death of her fourth husband in four years, and Saidh feels it important to visit and lend support.

Saidh Buchanan is the only girl in a family full of men: she’s skilled with a sword and fighting, rides like a man with breeches under her gown, and is determined to not marry. I’ve not read any of this author’s titles, but my love for historicals brought me the opportunity to read The Highlander Takes a Bride and I thoroughly enjoyed the read. I’ve now got to read the earlier books in the series!
