Now his clan in extreme and dire straits and Gabriel has to take the least desirable woman as his bride by proxy. It is his liege lords youngest sister who is an absolute lunatic and completely insane! Her name is Magdalene MacDougall known as Mad Maggie, yet if his clan is to survive he has no choice, but to marry a crazy, insane, lunatic! As he has to take theses desperate measures to save his people! The MacLachlan castle is falling apart and they are starving so this is the only way to obtain a wealthy dowry if his clan is to survive and put food on the table and live in comfort again. Yet this also puts this innocent lassie’s life is danger as a generations old curse will be in effect the moment they enter in holy matrimony! And of course the heroine is a virgin and needs the marriage for the good of her clan so has to find a way to make it happen. Magdalene jumps to a lot of conclusions and acts impulsively, and I was sometimes frustrated by her violent and disrespectful behavior. Though she did certain things to convince people of her madness, her amplified actions were, at times, inexplicable and mean-spirited. That being said, I think Magdalene has spent so much of her life under the thumb of unconscionable men that she just longs for safety. Once she finds that, she changes and shows her true self.

One of the least successful uses of the Highland charge was in 1746 during the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Battle of Culloden. The battle pitted the Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart against an army commanded by Prince William, Duke of Cumberland loyal to the British government. The under-nourished and unpaid Jacobite force was badly outnumbered and outgunned by well-trained regular troops who maintained discipline when charged. [10] [11] [12] Anyway, at first Tavia and Bhric don't get along but then they slowly fall in love, only to be threatened by people continuously accusing Tavia of being a witch and lots of twists and turns at the ending. Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill one another. To him was given a large sword. Series: Book 9 of Howell's Murray series. Book 3 of MacEnroy's. Also family to the Cameron's, with Sigimor making an appearance.Of course, the story wasn't all laughs, Gabriel was soon to realise that perhaps Maggie wasn't as mad as she made out, and when he is proven right he doesn't have to stop the feelings of lust that he feels towards her. Feelings which are absolutely mutual. The passion between them is perfect and makes for many a steamy scene. More serious aspects of the story come when Maggie's brother calls upon him to take up arms in his plight to overthrow Robert the Bruce, and when he finds out truths about his new brother-in-law. But I don't want to say anymore, spoilers and all that. Lord Donald granted his only child and daughter permission to wed a Northman she had lost her heart to, but it came with a stipulation. Their first-born son would return and rule the Clan MacShane upon the old lord’s death. I did ding the stars here a little for Kara not getting with the program fast enough and making what I felt seemed the obvious best choice right away. Sure, she had some pushing her to not grab such a generous life line, but I was dumbfounded at her initial hesitation. Anyway, Mr. Brilliant here decides that the best way to determine if she's faking the faint is to throw her in the ice cold loch. There a couple things that made me go what!!!!? In a totally good way. While the ending is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing, and I am looking forward to more from this Author.

The story keeps you on your toes wondering what is going to happen next, I have to say I loved Tavis, he was both hard and sweet. I loved Anna as well, she was strong, always trying to get things done. Of course Tavis and Anna together was heart pounding. I enjoyed the banter between everyone, I think it connects you more to the story.The Campbells were staying with the MacDonalds, and after a week of apparent friendship, at 5am the Campbells turned on their hosts and massacred them.

The Scottish and Irish warrior Alasdair Mac Colla is sometimes credited with inventing the Highland charge during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms [1] to meet a particular set of battlefield challenges. [2] It was initially known as the Irish charge, due to the Irish component of Alasdair Mac Colla's Royalist military invasion of Covenanter Scotland. The use of the charge greatly resembled older Celtic fighting styles of battle in which one side would rush at the other in an attempt to break the line of battle. [3] [4] The charge [ edit ] First off, what is up with the horses? They just care so much about the horses, which is not a bad thing, but I just found it a weird quirk of the books and it made the books unique in their own sense.Joshua has changed alot in this book, after a battle that left him feeling hollow he has decided that fighting isn't the only option. Heart of a Highland Warrior is the third book in the Highland Warrior Series by Anita Clenney. I waited patiently for this book, and when I finally got it on my Kindle, I read it in two nights. Well, it was almost one, but I had to quit when the words started to blur. If you haven't read any of the previous books in the series, I would suggest you start with the first book, Awaken the Highland Warrior. If you start with this one first, you may be a little lost. Now on to my review. Her hasty proposition falls completely by the wayside, though, as she and the Highlander come together in a carnal inferno. But bringing him into her life also brings his enemies to her clan’s doorstep—the very clan Kára is trying to protect. And as their feelings deepen, Joshua will have to decide between duty and love once and for all. Tavia is a small petite woman that has suffered an accident which has made her stronger it has also left her with a limp. It’s her crutch that has made her stronger, and resilient, her silence doesn’t mean she’s weak! I think what made this book just so intense though was funnily enough the demons! I loved that even though they are the bad guys the author made them almost good! Demons are bad and yet the ones in this story are just so interesting. It's a wild ride that we go on with poor Tavis traveling forward in time but not knowing quite what his purpose is. Anna's timely intervention makes all the difference but I think this is were some readers might flinch. There's a scene between these two that will have you screaming No! A romance is brewing between them but it's not starting off on the best footing! You have been warned.
