Product Description
The fearless warrior has finally met his match . . .
When Alyce Bunnock's father tried to marry her off, she fled, taking shelter at Everagis Abbey, donning a nun's habit, and renaming herself Sister Terese. But when Lachlan Sinclare arrives to restore her to her family, the safety of the convent is shattered. At the sight of the handsome Highlander, Alyce fears for her freedom—and weakens with desire.
Lachlan has been tasked with finding shrewish Alyce, but can think only of beautiful Terese. Yet with every forbidden touch, Lachlan comes closer to the truth. And once her secret is revealed, Alyce must choose between the independence she's always craved and the tempting man she cannot resist.
About the Author
Part of the fun in writing, Donna Fletcher admits, is doing the research. But it is with her characters that she has the most fun. She loves giving life to fresh characters and feels their excitement as they face the pleasures and pitfalls of falling in love.
Donna's own adventures have taken her to England, Ireland, and Scotland. She has walked the fields where battles were fought centuries ago, toured haunted castles, stood where beheadings were commonplace, explored the mystic mounds of long ago, and collected a plethora of memories and research that will live long in her heart and mind. She also loves exploring and photographing old abandoned homes, and she often takes long walks in the woods with camera in hand. She feels her life is rich and full, having three terrific sons, two fantastic daughters-in-law, an endless supply of friends, a loving dog, and a crazy, black, one-eyed cat named Bear.

On the blurb for this novel, Alyce is described as shrewish. The blurb was being nice I am sad to say. She was not at all likeable as a character and more than once I just wanted Lachlan to leave her where she stood. Stubborness in a heroine is a great trait, stubbornness to the point that the female lead becomes a pain to read, then enough is enough. Lachlan deserved better.
Donna Fletcher just didn't satisfy my historical romance loving soul with The Angel and the Highlander. I would suggest skipping this book and finding one where the lead characters actually connect.

Lachlan and his men decide they must stay to protect the nuns from mercenaries whilst they send a message to the church authorities to ask what to do with the few women left. Unfortunately for Lachlan, the more time he spends with Sister Terese, the more he sees her in a rather un-nun-like manner.
Terese knows that she is hiding rather a lot from Lachlan and his men; firstly, that the five women aren't nuns after all, secondly that her identity as Alyce Bunnock needs to be hidden or she will be forced home to wed the man her father requires, and thirdly that she has struck a bargain with the mercenaries, despite not seeing their mysterious leader. But as Lachlan and Terese/Alyce fall in love, he has to learn to trust her and give her freedom and she has to discover whether she can leave Everagis to be with Lachlan.
This book was enjoyable in that the story flowed well and was easy to read. However I found the central 'difficulty' of the plot, the fact that Alyce feared Lachlan wouldn't like her when he discovered she was the shrewish Alyce, very unlikely. In fact, the second half of the book felt more and more unrealistic at times. Alyce's father's behaviour seemed rather erratic too - treating her like a son, then treating her badly - although it appeared necessary for the plot to show how she'd got her leadership skills and yet why she had run away.
This book was an OK read, similar to the previous two in feel, but I felt it lacked a certain something to make it a really good read.
