Wicked Highland Ways

Brenda Grant's abusive first marriage taught her that she's better off on her own. But when her family threatens her freedom and demands that she remarry—to a man they've chosen—she makes a deal with a brawny Highland chief to escape. Bothan Gunn is smitten by the woman who won't be tamed. This is the sixth book in the series but could be read on its own. We’ve met both Bothan & Brenda before whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the book & it was a very satisfying conclusion to the series I found that I couldn’t completely warm to Brenda & at times wondered why Bothan, who I loved, didn’t just leave her. That said I did find the book hard to put down & would have easily given it five stars if Brenda had been more loveable My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

1579 Brenda was on the way to meet her new bethrothed. The daughter of the laird, her life was just a way to gain an alliance of other clans for gain. Her first husband had shown that it could be the worst of times and to have no illusions. "Yet there had been a time...when ye'd listened to songs of love and dreamed..." Well no more! Little did she know her knight was about to rescue her. Well... she did not feel that way about Chief Bothan Gunn, but he was determined to gain her back because he knew she was the woman for him. Yes, a little sigh worthy, but of course emotions were not that easy and Brenda was very jaded about men. He tries to take her but Brenda is determined in her duty to marry the man slated for her and help save her kin. But Bothan is determined and petitions the Queen for her and is given her hand to marry. Wow, can I just say that Brenda is so stubborn! Bothan is a wonderful man and only wants to make her his wife, but the journey to happiness is a long road! Hang on to your seat because this story goes quickly with a lot happening unexpectedly. Can these two, who seem really meant for each other and ignite the pages as you turn them be together? This is the first story by this author I have read and truly I cannot wait to read more! I read this through NetGallery

I love the way the story ended for Brenda! I wish the series didn't end here! I think the cambell son deserves his own book!
