Claimed By The Highlander - A Historical Romance Book
They were ill-matched...
He's charming and deadly.
She's intoxicating and skeptical.
What happens when an English lady with a secret meets a Scottish Highlander with a history?
Lady Elizabeth Kendall is on the run…
There is no one she can trust.
Her parents are dead.
And… her uncle seeks to involve her in a terrible plot!
There is only one solution, one hope for her.
That is to run north.
Her cousin Devon Montgomery holds an English claim on Scottish land.
She disguises herself as a maid, never thinking what is ahead of her.
The only one who can help her is the blank-shield soldier who pulls her from a terrible situation.
Reade MacTaggart.
But … Reade is not as he seems.
He's no more a mercenary than she is a maid.
Instead … he's a Scottish Highlander, the younger brother of Laird MacTaggart—of the infamous Clan Mactaggart.
There is only one reason that Reade came south.
That is to spy for his clan.
Just when he thought to go home, an English girl with more beauty than money falls into his lap, and Reade finds that he cannot resist.
In a dark and violent era, Elizabeth and Reade find each other, but will they be able to keep each other?
Or will she be taken from him?
Customer Reviews
Claimed by the Highlander
Good read endearing characters.
Too long
That's all. It's a good story, but it could've been condensed quite a bit.
Good story. Classic but unique Scottish romance
I liked the story and characters. It was good and I liked the somewhat unique timetable. I have read much set in the 1300s.
However, as much as i enjoyed the story, i was a bit distracted by some writing. We’re told that Reade’s accent got stronger the farther north they went. However, we don’t see this in the dialogue. Everything stayed too proper. Ex. Continued use of don’t instead of doona. It’s one thing to tell use but it evokes a whole other essence if we’re shown. Change his accent in the wiring and spelling of words. Same with the other scots. It’s a good way to easily distinguish between the English and Scottish.
