The Highlander Who Protected Me

There are no victims only survivors. Kelly dreams up a stunningly, captivating tale of heartache, bravery and romance. Royal and Ainsley are a little bit broken but no less heroes. Both are looking to find their place in a world judgment, cruelty and war. They find that place in each other's hearts. The Highlander Who Protected Me is a slow burn. Love kind of sneaks it's way into your heart. The battle is hard won, but the fire is never-ending.

Lady Ainsley Matthews, heiress and darling of the ton, was expected to make a magnificent match to the Marquis of Cringlewood. Instead she’s hiding on a remote Scottish estate, terrified that her vicious former fiancé will use her pregnancy to force her into marriage. Royal Kendrick is the only person Ainsley trusts to protect her baby—even if that means agreeing to never see either of them again. Royal badly injured ay Waterloo the previous year has been drifting but suddenly has a purpose—caring for an innocent babe and thereby helping the woman he can’t stop loving. But when Ainsley ultimately returns to Scotland, determined to be a real mother to her child in spite of the risk, there’s only one solution: marriage. This is the first book of a new series but follows on from The Highlander’s Princess Bride from the ‘The Improper Princesses’ series. We met Ainsley & Royal in that book which was Nick & Victoria's story. I found this book very hard to put down & luckily for me I was on a long train journey & it was amazing how fast a four hour journey sped by. Whilst I loved much of the book & was thinking a five star read I felt let down by the ending. There were so many loose ends & everything was left hanging. I hope they are resolved in the next book which I want to read now.I also felt so sorry for Royal that he was once again put in an untenable position by Ainsley & I seriously wondered how he could still be besotted with her - but they say love is blind! I loved the Kendrick brothers & hope they all have their stories. I adore Angus & as he's with Royal I hope he'll feature heavily in the next book. I didn’t warn to Ainsley when I first met her & my opinion didn’t change I found her self centred, spoilt & secretive My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Royal Kendrick and Lady Ainsley Matthews are thrown together for a purpose which evolves to something more. Excellent story line and characters . Enjoy this author. Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.
