Highland Legend

Highland Legend


Scots and Swords, Book 3

by Kathryn Le Veque


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


We are back at the legendary fight club Ludus Caledonia (the Cal) where men fight for infamy and become a family while they do it!


I have read and loved all the books in this series and this one is just as good.


Magnus, known as the Eagle in the fighting ring has come from his unwanted bastard roots to become the best fighter at the Cal. He has found everything from riches , a life purpose and a family of friends… he is happy.


That is until he runs into Diantha, a long lost acquaintance on the streets of Edinborough and agrees to help rescue her from a situation similar to his situation before he found the Cal.


Magnus is a rake and used to having any woman in sight, so when he falls for Diantha and finally has to work for her affection and respect, it makes it all the sweeter when they finally come together. I am an absolute sucker for a rake who reforms for the right lady!


I have enjoyed all the books in this series and love how they all have an element of found family. This is really strong in the case of Magnus and Diantha since they had both grown up in the absence of family. 


One thing to note, I found the drama in this book to be less angsty. There was a conflict and it was resolved, but I feel like the romance and becoming a family unit was more of the focus for this book. 


This is the third book in the series and the important background facts are relayed to the reader, but I would suggest that the first 2 books are read first to get the full effect- and they are really good as well!



Highland Gladiator by Kathryn Le Veque is scheduled to be released July 27th, 2020.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Sourcebooks Casablanca through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.


Book 2: Highland Defender


Book 1: Highland Gladiator
