GOODREADS



When love blossoms between two unwilling people, will hopeless odds end it all?

Book 4 in the bestselling series Clan Ross is now available! Read Free in Kindle Unlimited.

Ruari Ross, cousin to the laird, ponders a marriage arrangement that would ally Clan Ross with Clan Fraser. After a lonely youth, Ruari wants the companionship of a wife without the complication of a love match. When he stumbles upon an injured woman in the forest, he not only saves her life, but changes the course of his entire future.

Strong-willed daughter of Laird Fraser, Esme has avoided all her parents’ matchmaking attempts. Above all else, she wishes to avoid marrying a Ross. During a jaunt in the forest, she is mortally wounded and left for dead. When she awakens, she realizes her courageous rescuer is not only a Ross, but the man who would be her husband.

As Esme recovers beneath Ruari’s watchful eye, an unexpected love blossoms, and Ruari soon discovers his betrothed is not only a fiery beauty, but the best archer he’s ever seen. But when a massive enemy army attacks, Clan Fraser faces hopeless odds. With the shadow of war looming, will these reluctant hearts find love, or will a brutal attack end it all?

There can only be one outcome. Triumph or death!

Clan Ross
A Heartless Laird
A Hardened Warrior
A Hellish Highlander
A Flawed Scotsman
A Fearless Rebel
A Fierce Archer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Ruari Ross was abandoned by his mother and left in the care of his uncle and brought up as if he was one of that family.  He loves his cousins as if they were his brothers. His job as horse trainer for the clan gives him freedom and responsibility. A message from a small clan nearby could change his life forever. Our hero's clan has had enough of war and are enjoying peace as a strong and respected clan. How easily that could change is scary. 
Esme Fraser knows her clan is vulnerable, and it's dangerous to be out on her own but her pet fawn could be in trouble. Our heroine is definitely one who puts everyone above herself when thinking about safety. She has a warrior's heart in a female body.  Unfortunately for those who love her, that can cause problems. 
This is an action packed historical romance with wonderful characters.  There are several times you will feel sorry for our hero's battle with unfamiliar emotions. 
It's part of a series but easily read on it's own.  I have read most of the series and must now go back and pick up the one I missed.  
I have loved each one.

A Hellish Highlander (Clan Ross #3) by Hildie McQueen. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


When a warrior's fiercest battle is between his heart and his oath!

Warrior Kieran Ross, the youngest son of Laird Ross, is intent on finding his father's killer and exacting revenge, even if it means losing his own life. While tracking his enemy, an unexpected encounter with a familiar face could ruin all his plans.

When village girl Gisela Munro happens upon the same handsome man who insulted her, she is forced to ask for his help. Little does she know; the simple action will wreak havoc on both of their lives.

The day Gisela disappears, Kieran once again faces the anguish of losing someone he loves.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Kieran Ross watched his father killed and now has only vengeance on his mind. The mad man responsible is proving hard to track.
Gisela Monroe sells perfumed soap that she makes and prefers to live in her cottage away from the village.  Her mother however is determined to find her a husband.  To that end she makes herself indispensable to the Laird's wife.  There is a big celebration coming up so everyone is set to work.  
This story actually has two separate romances.  Our main hero is devastatingly handsome and is used to causing a stir,  but he is so angry that many are afraid of him.  All except our main heroine.  She's just trying to avoid her mother's matchmaking.  
This is part of a series but easily read on it's own.  You will meet characters from other books in the series so it's better to read the series in order to avoid spoilers.  A very exciting story with fabulous characters.  
I loved it.

A Heartless Laird (Clan Ross #1) by Hildie McQueen. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


From USA Today bestselling author Hildie McQueen... Coming face to face amidst battles and danger, a heartless man and a gentle healer begin the first of many impassioned interactions.

Seeking to avenge his father’s death, new laird Malcolm Ross declares war. Nothing will deter him from finding and killing the man who murdered his father, especially not a beautiful healer who needs to learn her place.

Elsbeth Murray has a kind heart and dedicates her life to caring for those injured in the clan wars. Despite her dislike of Laird Malcolm Ross, there is something about him that calls to the healer within.

It could be that Elsbeth’s abilities go deeper than skin deep and she will melt his frozen heart. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Laird Malcolm Ross is at war with the clan that killed his father.  Many have already died in the name of vengeance.  This was all started by people in both clans deliberately stirring up trouble for their own reasons. 
Elsbeth Miur is a healer searching for any injured that she can help on the battlefield. She is not allied with either of the warring parties but that doesn't mean she will be safe. 
There is intrigue and danger for many of our characters and romance for more than just our hero and heroine. The battle lines have been drawn but someone is not on the right side. 
Maybe the women involved can help stop the fighting.  I fell in love with all the characters on the first page especially the feisty women.  I look forward to reading the next book in the series. 
I loved it.

World of de Wolfe Pack: The Duke's Fiery Bride (Kindle Worlds Novella) by Hildie McQueen, Historical Romance Release & ARC review.

Add To 


The last thing Gavin Mereworth, the Duke of Selkirk expects is marriage to a rebellious wildling like her. Or is Beatrice Preston exactly what he needs? 

Newly titled Duke of Selkirk, Gavin Mereworth carries a heavy yoke. Threats to his land and title come from every side. When a perfectly aimed arrow barely misses his head, Gavin is not amused to find the archer to be a woman, like no other he’s ever met. Her warning shot should have been an inkling of what he was about to get himself into. 

It was bad enough Beatrice Preston allowed the Duke to kiss her senseless, but did he have to go so far as to ask for her hand in marriage. Surely an aroused state drained the man of his ability to think straight, now to find a way to keep him from following through. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐


Gavin Mereworth,  Duke of Selkirk is visiting with his uncles to discuss what must be done now that he has inherited his title.  There are dangerous neighbours that have designs on the title themselves. 
Lady Beatrice Preston enjoys nothing more than hunting with her bow. Unfortunately her parents have decided it's time she settled in marriage. 
Both our hero and heroine have major life changes to face.  Can they deal with each other and settle into a productive life or will the neighbours win???
A good story with lively characters.  Just wish there had been more of it.
