Scone, Scotland, 1332 

Scotland was in turmoil after the Bruce’s death as his son David II was only 4 was not his majority. So this fake King, Edward Balliol steals the Scottish throne! During the second war of independence, this pretend monarch wants to make an example to any who does not support him. So he slaughters Scottish warriors in their sleep and a big traitor, Andrew  Murray is the reason why and how! A man who betrays his own countrymen for coin!

After the devestating Battle of Dupplin in Pershire, Balliol crowns himself King of Scotland. The four Highland leaders were taken as prisoners to make an example of. They were Laird MacAyre, MacLeod, MacKinnon and MacNeal, who were all taken to a cold dark cell with very little substance to survive on. They were all sentenced to hang-except during their hanging, a miracle from God happened to save them. Domnall  MacAyre was the first and his hanging had already begun, but the other three Highlander’s saved him. On this day they became brothers even though not by blood. The also made oaths of revenge and vengeance for all who were traitors to them and their country. 

One was Andrew Muarray, who betrayed his own countrymen for coin to pay off his gambling debts. He secretly opened the camp fori Balliol’s men while everyone was sleeping to be slaughtered. He even tortured Bhaltair, Domnall MacAyre’s loyal warhorse. His horse would of alarmed the camp, but Andrew stabbed the beloved horse in the neck giving this beloved animal a slow death. Domnall was heartbroken but finished the job to put his horse out of his misery. Now he possessed Andrew’s knife which Domnall planned to kill him with!

 By the time he reached one of Murray’s residents, he cat08ches what he thought was Andrew Murray asleep. Except he soon realizes he is pressing his knife to a beautiful lassies throat! As it was the beautiful face and exquisite form of Ailsa Murray. The sister of his enemy! Now he had to revise his plan and take Ailsa as a hostage. The problem is Ailsa is the exact opposite of her brother. She had been in prison herself forced by her brother, a sibling she barely knew after her parents death. Shortly , after their death he arranges a marriage to an unkind man three times her age. Ailsa’s parents had been kind but kept her sheltered from the ugliness of the world but she knew her duty. Yet she knew her father would have picked a kind, honorable man, in her age bracket that she could one day learn to love. Her brother only cared to pay off his gambling debts, selling her off like a farm animal. Yet she also still did not want her only family left to die. 

At first she tries to escape but after spraining her ankle and he gently cares for it, seeing Domnall help a homeless urchin, and  protecting her from ruthless characters again and again. As she starts picking the chinks from Domnall’s armor and see’s the truth in both her brutal abusive brother and this honorable Laird, her abductor. She doesn’t want Domnall to mark his soul and regret something he won’t be able to live with or take back. Plus soon feelings of the heart start pumping through both their veins that they both try to deny and hide from. Yet you can’t dismiss or hide from love. What road will Domnall take? He has so much guilt the more he feels for Ailsa. He  knows by murdering and killing her only family member might destroy any future of happiness for them! Yet can he betray his highland brothers from the prison oath they all made to get revenge and vengeance to all the traitors that caused so much death and carnage to their people and Scotland. What road will he follow the one of vengeance and revenge or the one of honor and love?

A beautifully written novel from cover to cover. Plus it takes the reader from what is right and what is wrong. From darkness to light. Should she choose an evil brother just because they have the same parents? Plus can an angelic naive sister open her eyes to her brothers dark misdeeds and evil treachery that caused the deaths of so many? Can she trust a stranger that she sees as a truly good soul who is only trying to do what he feels is right? Yet she knows this honorable Laird will damage himself in the long run, that will eventually break his spirit and darken his soul and change his light forever.

This is the first book in the Four Horsemen of the Highlands series by Emma Price. It is a book readers don’t want to miss. It is an action packed, fast-paced, page-turning,  romantic adventure that historical romance readers love. Yet it is weaved with true history and a fictional dramatic heart-pulling story and passionate romance. The setting is breathtakingly, filled with multi dimensional characters, captivating dialogue, with clever plotting, that absolutely blew me away! It was totally brilliant, as I was gasping for air never knowing what would happen next!

I highly recommend Ensnared by the Laird by Emma Prince.

“We can die in battle with honor, but no horseman from God would die of taint.”

Northern Scotland 

June, 1589

War has been going on between Clan’s Sinclair and Sutherland since the broken and brutal marriage of Chieftain Alec Sutherland and Laird George Sinclair’s sister Merida. As Alec Sutherland was abusive to her and divorced her. After the Sinclair’s mother died, raising their children, Chieftain, George Sinclair, was eccentric and possibly a bit bipolar, naming all his sons from the book of revelations, known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. George was very disappointed as his fourth child was a female, Hannah, which he had always ignored. As his fifth child, a fourth son was his fourth horseman. So his set of four horsemen was complete.

Now Sutherland chieftain Ella, was captured for ordering all her archers to aim and kill Laird George Sinclair, the four horsemen’s father. She had no guilt, as they had killed hundreds if not thousands of her men during these clan attacks on her land! Cain Sinclair, God of Conquest, was determined to get retribution claiming she was his! So after Ella Sutherland was taken into custody, she was surprised she was not taken to their dungeon, but another bedroom. Now she was even more disturbed getting delicious food, clean clothing and Cain was trying to woo her! Her first gift was an adorable ball of fur, in an adorable kitten she named Boo. This definitely surprised her, but was even more shocked that he wanted to marry Ella Sutherland. 

As if there two enemy clans had not tried this already and it failed miserably. Plus her father was also killed by the Sinclair’s previously in these clan battles. As they had been going on for an extremely long time. Yet Alec Sutherland was no prince, he treated his horses better than people. A very horrid and black hearted man who tried to force his own daughter to marry the abusive Laird, Hew MacKay, who was a total snake. She broke that forced betrothal right after his death. She had to break the contract to pay him off with a lot of their live stock and silks, but it was definitely worth it.

Ella liked being the leader and the person in charge of her clan, plus she had a secret that no one was aware of. She is brave, clever and beautiful, this female Chieftain, but convincing her to marry was no easy task.

Will Ella marry Cain for his quest for peace. As the marriage between their two strong clans would bring peace and balance to them and possibly all of Northern Scotland. Tradesmen will learn and trade from each other and the land will become fertile and settled. This will force their Clan MacKay neighbor to back down, knowing they were united forcing no more attacks on outlying farms as they will outnumber and crush them. Yet will it be enough without love in this potent mixture? Read and find out

The Sons of Sinclair:

Cain - God of conquest

Joshua- God of war

Gideon- God of equality/ balance

Bàs- God of death

Ms McCollum does it again penning another riveting story from start to finish. She is a favorite author of mine as I think this will be the fourth series of hers I am reading. I have given each 5 star reviews and Highland Conquest will be no different. It is very easy to get swept into her stories. I thought picking the story through the biblical stories of The Four Horsemen, in the Book of Revelations was absolutely both brilliant and exhilarating! I intend to read each book in the series as that is the way I always roll. Like potato chips one is never enough! I can’t wait for the next one in the “Sons of Sinclair” series! 

This is another book historical romance readers will love. It includes all the elements readers all love. A book you can’t bare to put down. Another riveting, fast-paced, page-turning masterpiece. The setting was awe-inspiring, the multi dimensional characters just blew me away, breathtaking dialogue and the plotting was absolutely brilliant. I also loved the four legged creatures in this novel too. I loved all the eye popping surprises in this story too 

I highly recommend this beautiful book as I can’t recommend it enough. An absolute masterpiece!

So now like his mother they have disappeared. Are Rhys, Greyson and their mother ead or alive? Now it was Reikart’s turn to discover the truth, the saga continues…...

1286 Fifeshire, Scotland

2020 New Orleans, Louisiana 

Additional tragedy strikes the wealthy McCaim brothers -  four years after their mother, Shona disappears. This centers on the third brother, Reikart. He holds himself responsible and can’t forgive himself this past fatality.  Now he behaves in reckless and dangerous ways, never allowing anyone close to him again, keeping all his feelings and thoughts to himself, as his emotions and heart is shut off. Recently, more tragedy hits the four McCain brothers, as their father is in a deep coma. His only request was to find their missing mother who he still insists never left them! He claims her family brought her back to her time in thirteenth century, Scotland

So with their father in a deep coma, time is running out as their father does not have much time left in present day, Louisiana.  The only person that can save him is his wife, who might be a time traveler, in the year 1286 in Scotland. Previously this made the billionaire brothers feel he was unstable until recent evidence. As they found evidence in areas of the house the sons were never allowed to enter. There they found ancient spell books, an ancient cross and time traveling chants in Scottish Gaelic.  Now Reikart has watched his two older brothers vanish following time travel instructions, but something always goes wrong! Now Reikart and Ian McCain we’re back to square one, after watching another brother vanish with no answers. Their father is in a deep coma, the Doctors feel the best chance he has is to locate their mother, as she is probably the only person who can bring him out of his comatose state. The problem is she has been missing for five years and the sons had previously thought their father was insane and their mother just abandoned them or was abducted. 

So Reikart reaches out to one of his brother Rhys’s grad school friends, who spoke and understood gaelic. Now it was Reikart who disappears in front of Ian,  where he ends up on top of his mother’s enemy Deirdre Irvine, the most beautiful woman he ever saw.

Deirde Irvine was betrayed by a brother she had previously thought was a good man. He was in  cahoots with an English King, to murder our King and become a traitor to his own country! He orders his sister to give this forged note to one of the Queens Ladies. Her brother obviously knew and planned he would have to murder whoever she picked!  This lady in waiting was Reikart’s mother Shona, where Deirdre had no idea of her brother’s evil, murdering, deceitful, plans. Deirdre’s brother changed after they lost everything, due to their father’s bad choices. This caused them to lose everything, except their sister Maggie’s inheritance through her mother. Now Deirdre is filled with guilt for betraying her sister, forcing her in a marriage she did not want. To prove her innocence to Maggie and Shona’s family, she has to go on a serious mission that could put her life in danger. It will also help Shona and her sons to travel back to their own time.

Reikart volunteers to escort Deirdre on this serious mission. As the attraction between Reikart and Deirdre grows they are caught in a situation that will ruin Deirdre’s reputation. Reikart is consumed with guilt to even to feel anything for Deirdre. Deirdre is tired of all the men in her life making decisions for her. Yet her independence is another thing Reikart just loves about her!  He still had to have her understand he could do the right thing, even give her passion but she will never have his heart. The one thing Deirdre wants is not an arranged or political marriage, but a marriage made from love! Yet Reikart wants to kill any man that even looks sideways at her! Will Deidre accept his cold offer of a loveless marriage and time travel to another time with nothing to dream about or hope for? Can Reikart ever move forward and leave the past behind? As sometimes you can’t always see what is right in front of you even though it’s in your heart.

As the dynamic duo of Johnstone and Mecca pen another winner that knocks it out of the park! This is the third book in ”The Highlander’s Through Time,” time-travel series which is absolutely breathtaking! You can read as stand alone reads but this is kind of like a puzzle as each book puts a piece of the puzzle together. This makes me super anxious to read the upcoming book Scandalous Scot which will center with the only brother left in present day in Louisiana. That is Ian the youngest brother, plus I am hoping for a miracle for their seriously ill father too. Plus I am hoping Shona time travels to the correct location, after all it is time-travel and anything could go wrong.

I absolutely loved “Seducing Scot” from Start to Finish. It again, is another romantic, fast-paced,  page-turning, adventure that historical, paranormal readers will absolutely love. It is filled with all the elements readers love, with two star crossed lovers who have a lot of baggage and guilt and how to move forward and be happy. This is very difficult for this captivating couple but I know anyone who reads this emotional, awe-inspiring, heart pulling story will love it too. I absolutely loved it as I know you will too! I highly recommend Seducing the Scot by Julie Johnstone and Cecelia Mecca

"Love is a many splendored thing" by Han Suyin (The Reporter)

“Vengeance is definitely not a splendid thing!”

Glannoventa, Northumbria

AD 876

The Viking saga continues... 

It had been two years since the horrible Meara massacre in the kingdom of Maerr, Norway. On the day his second son, Alarr, was to be married, where the insignificant, deceitful and treacherous King Sigurd of Meara had been murdered. He had invited too many of his enemies, so many he had previously betrayed and wronged. This unsatisfied King had been warned not to do so. Yet due to his ego, vanity and desire for more power, he ignored all the warnings and rumors of paying back Sigurd’s past sins and’ betrayals with retaliation

However this massacre and blood lust caused so much death and  destruction, killing his son’s betrothed, her parents, his pregnant daughter-in-law with so many other innocents. Totally stripping all his sons of power and titles as they all had to escape or they would be dead too.  As they had no weapons to defend their home and loved ones. Suspiciously the Queen, Alarr’s mother had requested earlier they bring no weapons to the wedding-as it would be an insult to the Gods. In addition, these enemies had nearly crippled his second son and groom, plus not all his warriors were even at the wedding! Sigurd’s heir and other warriors were called away on another emergency. The youngest brother Sandulf, was more boy than a man. Yet he was the one responsible for protecting the women and elders.  Now some of the sons were missing and the others were on a quest for revenge and vengeance. Among his enemies, second son Alarr found love, forgiveness and a wife but there was also new information. It seems that Èireann King Feann nearly crippled him!

Now it turned out King Feann only wanted to kill Sigurd but never got the opportunity. Plus his best friend and half brother Rurick has gone to Glannoventa, Northumbria seeking King Wilfrid the murderer of his father and slaughter of so many innocent lives. At least that is what everyone claims. In the future Glannoventa, Northumbria is Northern England and Scotland. Rurick is the son of his father's former mistress, a Saxon, princess Saorla. Sigurd had two twin sons with her, which are Rurick and his twin brother Danr. He had lied to her making her think he was marrying her but never revealing he already had a wife with sons. So when she wanted to leave after his mistreatment,  he gave her permission without her sons! Bastard sons that he has always ignored besides accepting them as his sons and making them warriors! His wife had always ignored them, as a reminder of his unfaithful days Rurick assumes. Luckily his legitimate sons accepted the illegitimate sons and were great friends and all warriors.

Though Sigurd had other unknown enemies, one was his former mistress, and Rurick’s mother’s brother Feann. This man who had power and is now a Saxon King and wantsw revenge to the man who treated his sister with royal blood a little better than a slave! This is how l hears he has royal blood and who the true butcher of the massacre is! It is Wilfrid, the true murderer, a man with warriors or possibly hired mercenaries in Northumbria. 

Now two years later Lady Annis, of Glannoventa, who had been at the massacre to assassinate Sigurd, as she wanted him to pay for killing her husband Winfrid’s son and her lost baby! Wilfrid was like a father to Annis, he had been caring for her since she was a child. Her marriage to Winfrid’s son Grim, had been arranged though she did care for the older man. She had been grieving Grim and the loss of their baby, and not thinking straight. This was  when she saw the death devastation and bloodlust killing of innocents it made her sick! She is filled with remorse and guilt that she had been too late to stop this madness! She now hears in her Glannoventa how this Norseman is asking a lot of questions about the people she loves and cares about. Yet feels guilty the Norsemen was trying to defend Annis in a local tavern after she had drugged Rurick and he ends up is in their dungeon!  Though Rurick is without resources he uses seduction to free himself. He shockingly realizes he isn’t angry at Annis, understanding her defense of a man who is a father to her,  loyalty to the village and to the people she cares for. Even jealous, as his own father didn’t care for him like Winfrid, her father-in-law loves her. Lady Annis, really loves Glannoventa and the people, having done everything to help and protect them. 

Soon her options and time is running out! As the Dane who is the leader will force a political aliance, an arranged martial ahusband on Annis! Her first marriage to Brynn was a an arranged marriage. She knows the Danes husband choices are unknown and not good. One is a man older than Winfrid. The only choice she has is to marry the man she once imprisons! She had not known what to do, understanding his vengeance but is shocked when is advised she marry the Northmen!  Plus she has a tremendous secret and betrayal to Rurick that she could never reveal nor confess to. Yet her heart was opening to a man she should hate. What will Lady Annis do? Will Rurick ever find out the truth of her treachery and deceit? Will he be able to forgive and move on? Will he end her life as he would with any foe who might have caused innocents death? A story readers don’t want to miss!

This is the second book in the Sons of Sigurd series that is absolutely magnificent! It will sweep readers right off their feet from start to finish! A story that will stay with you long after you finish. It is a major heart string puller that is very emotional. I found myself very involved in the characters and crying so have some Kleenex nearby. This story is filled with all the elements historical romance readers love. It is a riveting quick paced romantic adventure that is filled with revenge, treachery, defiance, death, destruction, grief, abduction, holding prisoner, drugged, seduced, hatred, joy, trust and love.

As these multi dimensional characters are absolutely unforgettable yet absolutely brilliant! The setting was beautiful beyond words with an  exhilarating dialogue. The plotting twists was both heart stopping and awe inspiring, a total genius! This is my first book by Harper St. George but definitely not my last! She is a magnificent storyteller, as her writing is so powerful and emotional, you can’t help but love her stories! As her story and characters brought me right in and never let me go. Plus I read this masterpiece in one sitting which is a rare occurrence indeed. I also love how it inter connected to the first book in this series, Stolen by the Viking by Michelle Willingham. I have a feeling I will thinking that about the next book in this series by Michelle Styles too.

You can read any of these books in this series as stand alone books. I highly recommend you read all five in series-the inter-connection to each of these books is truly captivating. Readers will be delighted and dazzled off their feet! I find this type of writing among authors truly magical!

I cannot recommend Falling For Her Viking Captive by Harper St, George enough!

England, 1193

This book centers on Irishmen who have lost everything from titles, clan, wealth, and home that are exiled out of Ireland. Quite by the uncharted sea  and swept up on the English coast. These Irishmen set up shop in England, their greatest enemies lands, yet they have no real choice. They take up tasks no matter how corrupt or treasonous it might be, as long as they paid for these destructive deeds.

Máel was delivering political messages as Richard the Lionheart is being held for ransom by the Holy Roman Emperor. Richard’s evil brother is starting a rebellion with English Nobles. Now d’Argent had no plans as he is nearly beaten to death. Yet that is not what he is most furious about. He is furious the Baron stole his father’s sword that had been in his family for generations. Some even believe this very ancient sword had magical abilities, something this evil Baron should never have in his possession!

Máel discovers this Baron d’Argent will be attending this grand tournament, to basically sell his beautiful daughter to the highest bidder to fill his coffers. To cover all the basics his daughter Lady Cassia d’Argent had six suitors. Her father has her believing in fairy tales of chivalrous knights of her romance novels. This is far from reality. He was selling his own daughter to the highest bidder. What many didn’t know is they were in financial straits that could ruin him and cause him to lose everything. He thinks Máel is dead but is in for a wide awakening, especially when he trades his own daughter for his own life. Except she learns her father has no worship for her as her life might possibly be in danger too. 

Soon she sees Máel is the knight of her dreams but can his enemies daughter have a future with an Outlaw like him? So many are against a possible union with Máel and Cassia. Do they even have a chance? A book Kennedy fans do not want to miss.

I absolutely love Kris Kennedy books and have been reading her since her debut. Always riveting, fast paced, emotional, romantic, action packed, adventure, from start to finish. A book that is absolutely unforgettable that I read in one sitting. A book for the keeper shelf that readers will want to revisit again. A total delightful read.

Another book that has all the elements readers love with breathtaking dialogue, multi dimensional characters, corrupt villains, swoon worthy heroes, clever heroines, brilliant plotting and awe-inspiring dialogue! 

I love that this series is interconnected with other authors that will make it absolutely magnificent!
