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.
