Promised to the Highlander (The Highland
Chief Series: Book Two). Kate Robbins. Tirgearr Publishing. May 2014. 243 pp., 2132 KB. ASIN No.: B00LNCO5TW.
Nessia Stephenson is furious
for her father has promised her in marriage to William, the younger brother of
the MacKay family. Neither of the promised ones want this and when they finally
meet both realize it could be a good marriage, except for one disastrous reality. For when William’s brother, Fergus, and
Nessia set eyes on each other, there is a flash of overwhelming love in that
first look. Both decide to do all in
their power to avoid following through on that initial recognition of true
love! Little do they realize, however,
that very soon it is apparent to all but them.
Such is the stuff of great passion born to last forever!
Because of an unforeseen
tragedy, the Sutherland clan residing near to the MacKay clan are determined to
make the MacKay brothers and their women suffer to death. A vow the Sutherlands make begins to be
fulfilled. None know that one member of
each clan have fallen in love and have vowed not to involve themselves in this
useless, bitter feud between the families.
The price to be paid will be higher than anyone involved can imagine!
The war degenerates to one
group carrying the pennants of a different family, an act that could make the
King so angry that he might issue a death penalty as a result. Off to war the men go and the women stay
behind, worrying and weeping, each with an untold story and secrets they can
tell no one.
As torture, death and
conflict grow, so does a secret passion, with some ultra-sexy scenes that add
to the palatable tension increasing with each turned page. No spoilers here;
Kate Robbins has surpassed her last novel by miles. Great love coupled with great adventure and
feisty female characters as well as brave men make Promised to the Highlander a terrific read! Everyone loves a great story, and this
romantic and historical novel succeeds on every level! Very nicely done, Kate
Robbins.
