Highland Romance - June 21, 2016

MacLean's Passion by Sharon Cullen
Publication Date - June 28, 2016
4 stars



MacLean has been avoiding taking over his Scottish clan after losing his two older brothers at the battle of Culloden and why trying to help a friend and was instead imprisoned by the English.  When he has a chance to escape he brings along the young man who is his fellow prisoner, and the two fearlessly flee to a well stocked cave.  When MacLean discovers that the brave lad is actually a fiery young lady, he has to fight his attraction to her.  Maggie is stubborn, fierce and intelligent and the chemistry between the two characters is strong.  So far, I loved both books in this series and am eagerly awaiting the next which will follow one of my favorite characters.  I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.


Her Highland Rogue by Violent Rand
Publication Date - June 28, 2016
3.5 stars



Errol MacRae is close to taking over as laird of the clan as his father's health declines so he does not want to spend his time chasing after the woman that came into his clan as a young orphan.  Aileana has run away after unwanted kisses from an important clan member, and as Errol drags her back she is both taken aback by this young warrior and envious of the freedom she experienced while away.  Taking place in the early 1500's, the author does a good job of using the history to add to the romance.  The characters are both headstrong and while Aileana at times annoyed me, there is good chemistry between the two.  I did feel as though this plot may be been a little complicated for this short of a book, but I think this is the beginning of a series so may just be the introduction to a longer narrative arc.  I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
