MacPherson Castle

The series of The Sons of Gregor McLeod, who turned his enemies heirs into his foster son’s. This was after beating their fathers in a raid against him, also to honor his wife’s last death request to bring peace and harmony to the Highlands. Gregory MacLeod lost his wife and biological heirs to death and never remarried or got over his wife’s death . This makes his foster sons his only true heirs.
Amber, the MacPherson Clan healer is running from her clan’s evil leader, she has no choice or she will end up dead! So with a little help from her close friends-she escapes after chopping her beautiful locks off and dressing like a lad. Unfortunately timing could not be worse as it is when Laird Lachlan MacKay was ready to take his revenge on his brothers murderer. The murderer is Machar Murray, laird of the MacPherson Clan though through force. The only reaason Amber had remained was to protect her clan. As Machar Murray has murdered many including her own father! Now her life is on the line and she has no choice but to escape!
Laird Lachlan MacKay never expected to become Laird, it was his elder brother who had been trained for this duty. Yet while on a pleasant fishing expedition his brother was brutally murdered. It was by a poisoned arrow by Machar Murray. Machar was hoping to over take the MacKay Clan. Luckily that never happened for he did not have to power or stamina to overpower the MacKay Clan! It has taken Lachlan five years to locate his brothers murderer! Now a young lad (Amber) he wasn’t expecting is an added complication!
This story is riveting, fast paced, romantic, adventure that readers will absolutely love. The murderous villain is obsessed with the beautiful healer, Amber MacPherson. A treacherous evil man who killed her Laird and second in command , which is Amber’s own father. The only way she can hold this evil Laird at bay is to use his fear of witches and supernatural. This is to her advantage since she is a healer.
Lachlan also did not have the best childhood from an abusive step-mother. He has trust issues too and never wants to marry. So this novel has many challenges to overcome. Amber and Lachlan bump heads a lot and both oppose marriage! Will they ever open their hearts and learn to trust and love?
You must read this spectacular novel and find out the conclusion? The secondary characters like his brother Callum, young cousin Adaira are both entertaining and endearing. Adaira, is a lass Amber instructs in self defense as her father taught her.
This book has all the elements romance readers love. The setting is breathtaking, the plotting is brilliant and the characters are unforgettable! A brilliant story from start to finish! I highly recommend both “Highland Promise” book #1 and “Highland Conquest”, book #2. You can also read as a stand alone book too. I find I want to know about each of Gregory MacLeod’s foster son’s. As I find this serie just both captivating and fascinating!
Alyson McLayne is a new voice in Scottish Historical romance that is amazing and magnificent. Each book in the phenomenal series, The Sons of Gregory MacLeod has been total page turners that I could not put down. I can’t want wait until the next Gregory MacLeod’s sons story is released!
I highly recommend “Highland Conquest” by Alyson McLayne. Another exhilarating book that historical readers will just adore! It is both phenomenal and extraordinary as I can’t recommend it enough!
