Book Review - Her Legendary Highlander

 

Her Legendary Highlander

Synopsis:

Her prisoner …becomes her fiercest protector

Capturing legendary Highlander Malcolm of Clan Colquhoun was Andreona’s last chance to win her tyrannical father’s respect. Instead he orders them both to be killed! Resigned to her devastating role as the family outcast, she and her prisoner escape and continue on his quest to return a treasured heirloom. They find solace in their unexpected passion, but haunted by a lifetime of betrayals, will either dare to hope it could last beyond their journey?


My review:

Cast out from her family, Andreona has one last attempt at impressing her father by capturing Malcolm and his friend, who are on their own mission. When she takes her prisoners to offer to her father, she learns the horrid truth about her banishment. Because of his own family betrayals, Malcolm is sympathetic and protective towards Andreona and when she later requests to accompany him on his quest, he begrudgingly allows her, understanding she needs to escape mentally as well as physically.

When they set off, they are virtually strangers, but both recognise the pain and betrayal in each other and gradually become closer. Set at the end of the 13th century, the story follows Malcolm and Andreona’s journey through various countries as they travel to Scotland. There is an undeniable attraction and chemistry between them, but when the two get physically close, Malcolm pulls away emotionally, scared to get too close to someone. Can Malcolm and Andreona help each other overcome past traumas and find true happiness in each other?

Her Legendary Highlander is part of a series, this book being the final instalment. Nicole Locke’s descriptive writing builds a detailed picture of the characters and their surroundings so well. There were a lot of characters and I struggled to remember who everyone was near the end of the story, and at times a couple of their backstories were difficult for me to follow. However, it is very much a standalone book. I am keen to go and read the rest of the series now that I have finished Her Legendary Highlander. If the rest of the stories are anything like this one, I know I will love them too! I really enjoyed reading this novel and devoured it in only two sittings. Highly recommended for those of you who like history, romance, and adventure.

Author bio:



Nicole first discovered romance novels hidden in her grandmother’s closet. Convinced hidden books must be better, Nicole greedily read them. It was only natural she should start writing them (but now not so secretly). If she isn’t working on the next book in her historical series, she can’t be found. No, seriously. Because she’s always working on the next story!
