[Audiobook: "To Tame A Highland Warrior" by Karen Marie Moning; Phil Gigante/Reader = 5*]The first time I did the "skim" on this book and wasn't too interested in reading it completely, and now I realize I was probably just taking a nose-dive on the series as a whole after starting it at "The Kis...
Warning this review contains spoilers.Actually, no just one big spoiler. And it's not really a spoiler, but you know how precious some people can be.This cat just had the ending of Shadowfever spoiled...Okay, so this is a romance novel. You pretty much know how they all end, right? Happily Ever...
A sort of modern, lame, gender reversed, Sottish version of sleeping beauty. I apologise for the length of this rant review, but I have augmented it with pictures, and lyrics from the eighties.WOW! So I just read The Darkest Night and you may have read in my review how peeved I was at the stupid ...
In case you're wondering, yes, I am thoroughly ashamed.How can I possibly give this book more stars than Madame Bovary? It's disgusting. It's tragic. Worst of all, it doesn't even makes sense. I don't LIKE Historical Romance! C'mon, I DARE you to find something dignifying about this.I don't ...
Damn, it's good to be Adam Black - sorry, I couldn't resist, LOL - but I bet it's better to be Adam Black's lover!Adam is one of those heroes you just love to hate - or hate to love, either way works for me. He was selfish, arrogant, manipulative and didn't have any qualms about using anyone and ...
These books just keep getting better and better! I simply ADORED "Spell of the Highlander" For me, the most important thing while reading a book is to connect with the characters. You can add a storyline, a million storylines that will take your breath away, but if the characters are sh*t (pardo...
Fans of Mac and Barrons STAY AWAY from this offensive pile of dung.This is the fantasy story of the beautiful, man hating (but not really, do not read this is you have any pro feminist views at all) orphan 'Adrienne De Simone' who travels back in time and right onto the lap of a violent laird, al...
Plot was interesting and moved along well. Characters were likeable and had good chemistry. Author did a much better job this time working her religious message into the story - was a more natural development and the proselytizing was not as heavy-handed as in the prior two books. Still there, ju...
I've read this story in it's previous print addition (in Dec. 2011) and it graces my keeper shelves. Allie Mackay has re-issued it in all it's original glory. I'm not a writer and I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to take something that I wrote from the soul and have it broken t...
Had some interesting moments, with generally good writing, but I couldn't get fully invested in the characters, and the subplots were distracting. I skimmed through half of the book. Character-wise, i found Isabelle rather frustrating with her repeated attempts at escape without thinking things t...
I was intrigued by the Scottish history even though I'm not a fan of historical romance novels. It was well researched, from the beginnings of the 100 years war, relations among France, England & Scotland, life in a Scottish castle, down to every piece of clothing worn in the early 1300s. The...
I wish I could give this book a higher rating, but I found that it was slow in the begining and that, for me, it didn't really start taking off until about mid way through. I was starting to get agrivated and frustrated but since I started it I wanted to finishe it. Near the end I really did enjo...

Highland Heat is the third book in Mary Wine’s Highland Trilogy and features the love story of Deirdre Chattan whom we meet in the first book of this series, To Conquer a Highlander.Our heroine, Deirdre, is a naturally passionate and feisty woman…a strong woman, proud of her Highland heritage, wh...
I definitely give this novel a high rating. It was funny and romantic, steamy when it needed to be and left you on the edge at moments as well.The couple does bicker back and forth quite a bit but that is what helps to understand their relationship. Brina really doesn't want to waver but she is f...
At the moment I'm only about two thirds of the way through the book. I've read enough to know that it deserves five stars in my opinion. Connor Lindsey needs to forge an alliance with the Chattans and was suppose to do this by marrying the eldest daughter of the clan laird. However an act of d...
This has been on my TBR list for some time now and when I needed a book based in Scotland for a challenge read, I picked it up. In some ways, it reminds me of Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series. Lots of sex, snarling, sex, sniping, and more sex. Geez. The plot was thin, the characters were on...
This book takes place in the time just after the death of James I, king of Scotland, and during the clan revolutions that followed. Torin McLeren, the Laid McLeren, had his lanbds burned by a neighboring clan, the McBoyds. He stole the daughter of the clan, Shannon, on her way to an arranged mar...
Although the book's concept initially intrigued me, the book tended to drag and rely too much on sexual scenes. The scenes didn't feel realistic as there was very little emotionally connecting the two characters. I doubt they both would've fallen in love with each other that quickly without the e...
