The Highland Laird

Lords of the Highland, Book 8

by Amy Jarecki

⭐⭐⭐⭐💫/5

A highland wedding brings all the clans together, including the Grants and the MacDouglas that have been ally’s for way back. Laird Ciar MacDougal has always admired the quiet strength within Emma Grant, the sister to the Grant Laird. Born without sight she is commendable in her kind and beautiful spirit and has always brought joy to Ciar during their interactions…

Now a young lady, Emma hope for more than friendship with the one man who has always treated her with respect made her feel like a woman, not a child to be coddled. After a night-time interlude, she intends to ensure that he sees har as a potential mate…

A twist of fate takes Ciar away and finds himself wrongfully imprisoned and his life on the line… all the clansmen have been sent far and wide and Emma believes she is the only one who can now rescue her love… but how can a blind woman who has barely left her keep stage prison break?!?!

Wow! Where there is a will there is a way and nothing will stop the amazing Emma. It was such a delight reading about this heroine and hero pairing. They were an excellent match and their combined skills and compassion for their people made for a very compelling read.

An exciting story along with compelling and endearing characters makes this a must read for any fans of highlanders! Though this is book 8 in a series, (I have not read the previous books), it was easy to keep up with and I did not feel like I had stepped into the middle of a story. This can easily be read as a standalone.

The Highland Laird by Amy Jarecki is scheduled to release October 13th, 2020.

Thanks so much to Forever Romance and Grand Central Publishing for gifting me with my review copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 #TheArtOfTaxidermy #sharonkern...

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
