The Highlander's Stolen Bride: The Perfect Beach Read

The Highlander’s Stolen Bride is book three in the Highland Alliances series. Book one is The Highlander’s Substitute Wife by Terri Brisbin. Book two is The Highlander’s Tactical Marriage by Jenni Fletcher. I enjoyed The Highlander’s Stolen Bride but I didn’t think it was as strong as Martin’s other books. I found myself skimming in spots around the middle of the book. However, towards the last few chapters the pace picked up and I couldn't’ put the book down. There are quite a few steamy scenes throughout the story. And though this is the third in the series, I don’t think it's necessary to read all three to follow the plot of this story. At the time of this review, only one of the books has been released. Not my favorite book by this author, but still a strong romance.

I loved this story and did not want to stop reading it. I loved how both Elspeth and Calum were loyal to clan and willing to do what was necessary. Calum was actually quite sweet and protective with Elspeth, and I enjoyed how he wanted her to be able to protect herself. Elspeth was strong enough to accept what she saw around her, even trying to fight for her freedom, but also to help those that needed it. I highly recommend this story. I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.
