Congrats to Heather McCollum on her new release! If you're looking for a historical romance, then this is a good place to find a fun read.
Shaw Sinclair, chief of the outcast clan of Sinclairs of Caithness in northern Scotland, has made a deal with the devil. Despite his strength and lethal skills, he needs help—specifically from a woman—to accomplish his mission to bring a bairn to safety to the coast. When he meets the brave and beautiful Alana Campbell at a Samhain Festival, he decides she's the one. Alana Campbell is ready to show the world she's just as skillful with a sgian dubh as any man. Attracting the attention of the brawny chief who coerces her to join him on his journey to the coast of Scotland gives her that very opportunity. Sparks flash between them as they're forced to act as husband and wife to accomplish the deadly mission. However, when secrets threaten to tear them apart, they have to decide if their differences outweigh the reality of their feelings...

My thoughts:
Fill with action, angst and drama, Highland Warrior was whirlwind read. Shaw, our tough-as-nails hardened Scottish warrior, kidnaps our heroine, Alana, so she can help him care for a newborn that's not his but a secret child he must transport out of the country. Between English soldiers trying to kill them, two hard-headed characters pretending to be husband-and-wife to make it through small villages, and trying to raise a newborn (as in less than 2 weeks old) on cow milk, these two characters go from enemies to lovers. So many lies were laid down between the characters that it kept the reader guessing if they'd be walking away from each other or staying together. Each had their own goals and had to decide if those goals were flexible in the face of love.
Loved how independent both these characters were. The historical facts in the book were intriguing, and I have tremendous respect for the amount of research that this book must have required.
It's been so long since I read a book from this genre. I thoroughly enjoyed my foray back into this type of read.
Drama, angst, action and hot Scottish warriors...makes for one you-shouldn't-miss-read book!
