More Highland romance done really well!, Mar 30 2011
By Cynthia Collins - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I'll be the first to admit to being picky about Highlander romance novels (Julie Garwood is a hard act to follow!). I'm loving this series by Julianne MacLean, though! This is the second book, the first being Captured by the Highlander, and if possible I'd read them in order. This book is strong enough to stand on its own but having the history added something.I was set out somewhat not to like the hero of this story, he had betrayed his closest friend in the previous book (for a good reason in his mind). Angus MacDonald was exiled from his clan for the betrayal and his home was eventually given to another after his father died. The daughter of the new Laird, Lady Gwendolen is prepared to defend her home after the death of her father, when Angus "The Lion" MacDonald comes along to overtake his former home. As a way of uniting the two clans, Angus declares he will marry her and their heirs will be Laird in the future.
She's resistant in the beginning to caring for a man who took her home, he's reluctant to actually begin to love his wife as he thinks it will make him weak. Through various twists and turns we get our happy ending, but it's pretty entertaining getting there. Definitely a book worth reading if you like Highlander romances!

EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!, April 7 2011
By booklover - Published on Amazon.com
To be honest I did not want to read this book based on the character Angus and I did not really enjoy the first book but I had to know how Angus was going to redeem himself with Duncan. This book was better than the first book and I read it all day. The lead characters in the book came together so well and the book just seemed to flow. The plot was well thought out and did not seem far fetched. Sometimes authors can drag out the lead characters coming together so long that a reader will lose interested. This book just worked from all angles! EXCELLENT

Not as good as the first one..., May 16 2011
By Regan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Claimed by the Highlander (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the second in MacLean's Highlander trilogy. Like the first one, this also involves Angus MacDonald, who with his father's death has become the head of the MacDonald clan. The story takes place in 1718, two years after Captured by a Highlander. After having been banished by his father for betraying the Butcher, a hero of Scotland and his best friend, Angus returns after he learns of his father's death to regain his family's castle, Kinloch, that was taken over by the Macwen clan with permission of the British Crown. Angus storms the gate, retakes Kinloch and declares he will have Gwendolen MacEwen, the daughter of the old laird, to wife to merge the clans. Initially Gwendolen fights the idea but then warms to the passions between them, and agrees to become his wife. Meanwhile, as the affection grows between Angus and Gwendolen, her brother Murdoch is still at large and is expected to attack any day and Angus' former lover, the "Oracle," arrives to foretell his death by hanging.What I didn't like: 90% of this story takes place in Kinloch castle and most of that in one bedchamber (there's a fair amount of sex which actually got a bit boring by the end). While the uprising in 1715 was mentioned, it really was only as background. There wasn't much history in this historical, though the setting was the Highlands. The main characters engaged in too much inner angst for my taste, which led to long passages of narrative which I found provided no new information, and some of which I skipped (never a good sign). Lastly, some of the dialog seemed inane. I finished it but just barely. It was easy to put down. I am not recommending this one and not buying the third in the series when it comes out. I know MacLean can write well and some of the other reviewers have said her earlier works are among their favorites, but like another reviewer, I was disappointed with this one.
