PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McLayne's delightful third 15th-century Sons of Gregor MacLeod novel (after Highland Conquest) is a dramatic mix of adventure, danger, and sex. Laird Callum MacLean is betrothed to resourceful and independent Maggie MacDonnell but has not seen her in three years. Callum's father was murdered, and Callum is single-mindedly focused on finding the killer. After traveling to MacDonnell Castle, Callum is disturbed to learn that Maggie's brother and laird, Ross, heartbroken over the death of his wife and child, is drinking himself to death. Maggie's nefarious cousin Irvin is determined to take over the clan and marry Maggie against her will. When Callum departs to resume his quest, Maggie refuses to stay behind and makes a daring escape, joining Callum and his men for the treacherous journey back to MacLean territory. The magnetism between Callum and Maggie is highly alluring as she must decide whether she trusts him enough to make a future with him. The trek through the Highlands adds intensity to this tale of multifaceted characters and sizzling sensuality.

This was just an awesome book!
It seems like Maggie MacDonnell has been waiting forever for the men in her life to come up to scratch, from her brothers to her betrothed Callum MacLean! Waiting for him to come and honour the betrothal she decides to take matters into her own hands especially since her villainous cousin is bent on forcing her to marry him!
Time is if the essence she sets off to find Callum and settle things, but things aren’t always what they seem like before Callum and Maggie get their happy ending.
A fast paced read full of surprises and twists make this a page turning adventure that keep the reader entertained till the last page, full of witty banter, mystery and villainous characters, plenty of steamy chemistry and a love that will not be denied, it’s what I’ve come to expect from Alyson McLayne’s amazing stories!
