Add To


Alan Mackenzie can’t believe it when his laird’s sister takes on some foolhardy mission to get close to every male in a rival clan, in the hopes of uncovering who’s behind the plot to kill her brothers. He may not be good enough for Kirstie, but he’ll be damned if anyone else touches her. But he’s undercover as well, and one false move could betray them both.

Kirstie Cameron’s brothers are in danger, and if she has to flirt with the enemy to save them, she will. But her plans are hindered when the annoyingly handsome Alan Mackenzie refuses to leave her alone. He broke her heart years ago, and now he’s working with the other side. She’ll never forgive him if he ruins her plans. But she can’t deny the attraction between them.

He can’t stay away. She can’t push him away. And the temptation could get them all killed.
 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


This is set in a very volatile time in Scottish history.  Clans were set against each other because of religious differences. 
Alan Mackenzie has gone undercover to discover just what the plans are for the royalist clan chiefs who refuse to accept the religion being pushed on them by Parliament.
Kirstie Cameron left her own clan to stay with a friend because the man she wanted didn't want her.  Now she must face him again,  but it looks like he is betraying her family.  Murder is being planned,  she must discover who is involved. 
An emotional and exciting story full of danger and nasty and nice characters.  Our heroine has got a silly habit of not doing as the men in her life tell her to.  That can be very dangerous.  Our hero has spent his life battling the demons of his past.  Can he put them to rest and accept what life now has to offer??
Great fun.

Winner of the National Readers’ Choice Award and Holt Medallion for Best First Book and Best Historical, Lori Ann Bailey has a romantic soul and believes the best in everyone. Sappy commercials and proud mommy moments make her cry. She sobs uncontrollably and feels emotionally drained when reading sad books, so she started reading romance for the Happily Ever Afters. She was hooked. Then, the characters and scenes that ran around in her head as she attempted to sleep at night begged to be let out. Looking back now, her favorite class in high school was the one where a professor pulled a desk to the center of the room and told her to write two paragraphs about it and the college English class taught by a red-headed Birkenstock wearing girl, not much older than she, who introduced her to Jack Kerouac. After working in business and years as a stay-at-home mom she has found something in addition to her family to be passionate about, her books. She lives in Northern Virginia with her real life hero, four kids that keep her on her toes, two dogs determined to destroy her house and two cats secretly plotting the demise of those dogs.

Highland Temptation (Highland Knights #3) by Jennifer Haymore. ARC Review.

Add To

Jennifer Haymore’s sweeping Highland Knights series is perfect for readers of Maya Banks, Monica McCarty, and Sabrina Jeffries—and as the saga resumes, one of Scotland’s most steadfast warriors shields a broken beauty while she soothes the pain in his soldier’s heart.

When Lady Emilia Featherstone discovers that her despicable father has been scheming against the crown, she turns to the Highland Knights for protection—and retribution. Spirited away to a safe house on the outskirts of London, Emilia is surprised to find herself sharing close quarters with a soft-spoken, musclebound Highlander. Before long, curiosity gives way to an alarming attraction. Emilia has learned firsthand from her father that men are not to be trusted. She just never met one so honorable and loyal, so powerful and, yes, tempting.

Ever since Waterloo, Colin Stirling has struggled with memories that haunt him night and day. Driven near to madness, he no longer trusts himself with meaningful relationships of any kind. At least in this temporary sanctuary, Colin can withdraw from the world—that is, until his stunningly gorgeous charge learns the full depth of his pain. In Emilia, Colin sees a kindred spirit with battle scars of her own. He also senses a chance to heal . . . and to find love.


Lady Emilia  Featherstone is an abused daughter of a Lord involved in treason.  She stumbles into the home of the Highland Knights hoping for help. 
Sir Colin Stirling is one of the Highland Knights a group of Scotsmen sworn to work for the Crown.  He is an emotionally wounded warrior who suffers from PTSD .  The result of imprisonment ,and many deaths in the war. 
The tale Emilia has to tell could upset the the politics of England for ever. 
A wonderful, action packed, historical romance, and a fascinating journey to Scotland.  All the characters are well developed and people you would love to know.This is from a series that is best read in order.  Although you could enjoy it read on it's own.  I have read the other stories, and have enjoyed all of them.  I look forward to enjoying the ones still to come.
