Reviewer: Kate
I received a copy of Promised to the Highlander by Kate Robbins in exchange for an honest review.
When the dark Sutherland clan leader declares open hostility on the MacKays and all of their supporters, Nessia Stephenson finds herself in grave danger. Her father brokers a marriage that will protect her from the marauders with the MacKay himself. But when Nessia comes into his household as his brother’s wife, the MacKay is faced with a force unlike any he’s ever experienced. Nessia is his dream woman come to life, and Nessia seems as much a slave to the erotic force that pulls them together as he.
The forbidden love is always an intriguing theme. While the plot here was not the most original (I guessed the conclusion long before I read it on the page), I was still happy to read this delightful book. The historical elements and the highland charm create a wonderfully romantic tableau in which it is believable for the Nessia and the MacKay to fall in love. With just enough pain and tension to give you a sense of triumph in the end, this is a nice nightstand book before bed.
