About this ebook

In a breathtaking short novel that’s perfect for readers of Maya Banks and Monica McCarty, Violetta Rand introduces a wild clan of Scottish warriors who fight for honor—and live for passion.
 
Errol MacRae’s days of gallivanting across the Highlands are nearing an end. His father’s health has taken a turn for the worse, and rumors are swirling that the crown intends to transfer ancient lands into the hands of the MacKenzies, the clan the MacRaes are sworn to defend. Errol expects to lead his men into battle soon. So he isn’t pleased when his father instead sends him to retrieve a beautiful flame-haired lass who has fled into the mountains.
 
Orphaned as a young girl, Aileana vividly remembers how the MacRaes rescued her and welcomed her into their clan. For ten years, she has served them loyally—until the night she’s nearly despoiled by one of the laird’s captains. Aileana risks her life and her reputation to seek refuge in the snowcapped peaks of the Five Sisters, the one place that has always felt like home. But after the strong-armed, strong-willed Errol tracks her down in a blizzard, she finds herself tempted to risk something even more dangerous: her heart.

I really enjoyed this story. I don't typically read historical romance, but Violetta Rand's story was a wonderful change. I found her characters easy to relate to and the story engaging. So much so, that I read the entire book in a single sitting. (That included staying up past my bedtime to see how it ended.) Errol is a Man's Man, but deep down he worries he will never live up to his father's expectations. So instead, he goes to the opposite extreme. That being said, he is a loyal and fiercely protective of anything he considers his. Once he figures out what he wants, he goes after body and soul, including living up to his father's expectations. Aileana is also an interesting character. In a time when women were property and treated as chattel, she also had to overcome the suspicions of being a foundling or spy, considering her coloring. Add into that her beauty, both inner and outer, it is no wonder she had to flee unwanted attention and had no self confidence. It was fun to watch her come into her own and find the strength to be who she was meant to be. This was a fun story that I really enjoyed.

#1 "Wild Highland Guardian", a new and what promises to be a wild and exciting series. Holy, Highlanders! Once again, Ms. Rand has written a captivating Scottish Historical Romance. Filled with adventure, wild Highlander's, feisty lasses, mystery, suspense and sizzling romance. The pages practically flies, as the reader turns pages, in awe of what's to come next. The characters, well they are intriguing, fasinicating, engaging and realistic. The storyline is unique, even heart wrenching at times, all while Scotland is in turmoil. But can lust blossom into love and the H/H find their HEA? I absolutely loved "My Highland Rogue" and am impatiently waiting for the next installment. It makes my heart soar to have found another amazing Scottish storyteller. I highly recommend this book.

This tale is historically awesome. I love how Rand develops the time period in question. It was an unforgettable expense and the perfect balance between fiction and reality. Rand has created a novella that was sweet and hot at the same time. I love the ebb and flow of the dialogue. It's natural and easy to follow without being of this time. This is the type of story that leaves you smiling and sets you daydreaming, even amidst the chaos. I can't comment much on the characters in this tale without giving away too much of the plot. It was comical when these two finally got together. I love how history and the plot came together in a fantastic and heartwarming moment. I will say that they were captivating and the type of characters that I truly wanted to get to know. Rand’s character development definitely does them justice. This novel is a fantastic mix between history and romance. It's a must read for anyone who enjoys the genre. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
