I have a not-so-secret soft spot for historical romances. My favorites involve England and/or Scotland — bonus when both countries are involved! Anyway, I recently had the opportunity to read Paula Quinn’s new book, Ravished by a Highlander.
Description:
Davina Montgomery is no ordinary English lady. For her own protection, she’s been locked away from society, her true identity the Crown’s most closely guarded secret. Until a shocking betrayal–and a bold rescue–land her in the arms of a fierce Highlander, a powerful warrior whose searing gaze and tantalizing touch awaken her body and soul.
As the firstborn son of a powerful Scottish laird, Robert MacGregor has no loyalty to the English throne, but he’s not the kind of man to leave a woman in distress, even if she is English. He vows to deliver Davina to safety, unharmed and untouched. Yet one stolen kiss leaves them both smoldering with desire…and desperate for more. With Davina’s secret threatening to destroy his clan, Rob must choose between everything he holds dear and the one woman he can’t live without.
I devoured this book. It took me about two weeks to get through it, due to being so busy with work and family obligations, but trust me, even though it took me two weeks, “devoured” is definitely a good description. And once I got done with the book, I picked it up and read it again! I don’t care what people say about historical romances, some of them are really good. And Paula Quinn’s Ravished by a Highlander was one of those books. The plot was deliciously complex, the characters well-developed, and the battle, tense and sexual scenes very detailed and climatic. The author followed as close as possible to true history, which only heightened my interest in the story — even the fictional parts.
If you love historical romance novels, particularly those set in the 1400s – 1500s, you’ll love Ravished by a Highlander.
