The Scottish Highlands, October 1712

Janet Cameron’s father has recently married. Her new step-mother would like nothing better than to get rid of Janet and marry her off to the first man who makes an offer.

The Camerons and Grants have been foes for centuries believing only the worst of each other. Laird Robert Grant believes they have stolen his cattle, as that is what he has been told. Dunn MacRae a friend to each clan sees that these two clans needs to put their differences aside. As the real enemy is the Sassenach red coats, as the English dragoons keep watching their every move. Finding the slightest reason to arrest and bring any Scot to Fort William to suffer the consequences .

At the Samain ceilidh unfortunately the leader of the Dragoons, Lieutenant Winifred Cummins is attracted to Janet Cameron. A lass who wants nothing to do with this foul smelling English Dragoon. The Dragoons show up uninvited to the Samain ceilidh and Janet refuses to dance with the drunk dragoon! She slaps the Cummins for manhandling her and he then arrests Janet! As her brother tries to escape with her-Robert hears her screams fearing the Redcoats have killed her brother. He is breathing and Robert rescues Janet. He brings her to his home on their way she falls off her horse and breaks her arm.

The Grant healer tells Janet she has to convalescent for two months to allow her arm to heal. During this time she and Robert fall madly in love with each other. Janet cares for Roberts blind sister Emma too. Yet they both know her father and clan will never approve and allow them to court each other. It could possibly start an enormous clan war with Janet in the middle. As she sees that Laird  Robert is a kind, honest, respectful man not to mention has gorgeous dimples! Robert sees Janet as a the bonniest good hearted woman he has ever met. On top of this Lieutenant Winifred Cummins want revenge especially on Janet, as he blames her for the bad things that have occurred in his life since the night of the Samain Ceilidh. So now Janet Cameron’s life might possibly be in danger.

Will star crossed lovers Robert and Janet ever be able to obtain a HEA? Perhaps their future will only be shed tears, broken dreams and shattered hearts. Forcing them to go their separate ways.

Another Amy Jarecki novel that I absolutely loved. It had my favorite novel ingredients which is true factual history during the Jacobite rising, with a fictional romance, based on true characters of the past. Plus it also had some true royal Scottish historical subjects of the past making appearances in this story. A book I definitely couldn’t book down.

It is a riveting, quick paced, page turner that had me glued to my seat. It was filled with adventure, clan wars, intrigue, theft, treachery, Jacobite rising, betrayal, prejudice, hatred, passion and love. This book can be read as a stand alone book or series order.

In addition it had captivating settings, magnificent dialogue, awe-inspiring main and secondary characters. Plus the detailed plotting was spot on, having readers wondering what could possibly happen next.

You can read this as a stand alone book or in series order but either way I highly recommend The Highland Renegade by Amy Jarecki.
