Magnus Alwyn recently finds out his entire life has been nothing but an enormous lie. As he finds out he is Niall Kincaid's true brother as they both have a tattoo as proof to their true identity. Magnus finds out he is actually Faelan Kincaid due to severe bump on his head as a child. He didn't even speak as a young boy for a period of time. He soon learns the woman claiming to be his mother is not his true mother. Yet, the woman had been a mistress to the Laird Alwyn so she passes him off as an illegitimate child of hers and the Laird Alwyn. Unfortunately, the man he always thought to be true father never even recognized him as a true son or anyone that mattered. On top of that his spoiled drunkard son, his half brother, has always treated him with hatred, bullied and threatened Magnus his entire life! So he couldn't retaliate or defend himself due to being the Lairds legitimate true (heir) son or the results could be deadly for him!
On top of that Magnus/Faelan has always been a good and honorable man, defender of women and the weaker etc. He has to sleep with the lower serfs and their dogs, even as he became a warrior and came it his own. Now he chooses to be with his men in the pit. Now after all this time he is finally being recognized for his accomplishments as a warrior and leader. Yes, is it too little, too late or are all bets off and is it time for revenge? Not easy to forgive someone who had murdered your entire family and clan! Or is it?
Heiress, Tara Ivernach has been made aware by one of nuns at the priory-her guardian, Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan was here awaiting to visit her. A man too busy with his own self importance and ego to even notice her. Buchan, basically dumped her here five years ago and never looked back! Then to her shock and broken heart, she finds out her sister has died under mysterious circumstances! On top of that she is supposed to marry her deceased sister's betrothed! Now that would make anyone's head spin and stomach feel nauseas! Tara truly wishes she would wake up from this terrible nightmare unfortunately it was her life!
On her way to her new life at Alwyn keep Tara’s carriage is robbed by brigands. The worst of it is her mother's necklace her only heirloom from her loving deceased mother. Her savior is Magnus Alwyn and this is also when she receives her first kiss though neither could see each other's faces in the thick of the night. Though he did play a little trick on her, due to his hatred toward his half brother.which he soon regrets. As time goes on and Magnus gets to know Tara better realizing she hates Hugh and wants to escape! Though she won't do this until she finds out the mystery behind her sister's death. Tara feels the Alwyn people are keeping something from her.
Now meeting her real betrothed for the first time she is less then thrilled considering Hugh vomits on Tara! Due to he being a drunkard and wastrel plus his added threats don't help! Hugh Alwyn is a piece of work and not in a good way in the least!All Tara wants to do is escape and start a new life!
Until she see’s the beautiful man Magnus/Faelan truly is and they both seem to fall for each other fast and quickly. Yet it is never easy and not without misunderstandings, jealousy, mistaken betrayal and miscommunication. As complications are not uncommon with any new relationship. Especially for a love that is so deep and true to the core. Plus they are both fragile and trust isn't easy for either one of them. Both being deceived and betrayed and destroyed so recently and soon both under false pretenses and misconceptions come to very wrong results. Can it be fixed? You will have to read and see, I can tell you it was a fabulous story from start to finish! I absolutely and unequivocally loved this book!
Lily Blackwood does it again, in her second book in her fabulous “Highland Warrior” series, which I absolutely loved! The setting was magnificent, with phenomenal flow with breathtaking dialogue. In addition brilliant plotting, that I found myself holding my breath with anticipation, not knowing what could possibly happen next!
It's one of those rare stories that speeds up the heart rate with lots of oohs and sighing. Anytime I read a book in under 24 hours I know it is going to be a rare, special, original. unique, and exhilarating read. Filled with a phenomenal riveting adventure, drama, suspense, betrayal, intrigue, hatred, miscommunication, faith, trust and of course love and more…
You can't help but feel the empathy toward both the hero and heroine, plus hoping they get the true HEA that they both so richly deserve! After all each of them went through to survive. Will they? You will have to read this spectacular book to find out.
You can read as a stand alone book or in series order. I highly recommend you read both The Beast of Clan Kincaid, book #1 and this book, The Rebel of Clan Kincaid, book #2. As they are both exquisite and brilliant stories in my opinion. Plus so much more fun connecting the character dots!
I highly recommend this masterpiece of a novel “The Rebel of Clan Kincaid” by Lily Blackwood! It was an absolute treasure and delight to read!
I was given this e-arc from the publisher and have voluntarily left an honest review through netgalley.
