“McCarty has captured the true feel and essence of the Scottish Highlands. . . . Most authors aren’t this good from the start.”
–Night Owl Reviews

Book Description
The ruthless enforcer of Scotland’s most powerful clan, Jamie Campbell will use any means necessary to vanquish lawlessness and unrest among the feuding Highland clans. Seduction is a game as easily played as subterfuge, but when Jamie poses a as suitor to a rival clan’s daughter in order to expose treason, the line between duty and pleasure is suddenly blurred. Ebony-haired, ruby-lipped Caitrina Lamont defies him, denies him, and arouses him like no other woman.
Caitrina has no intention of forsaking her beloved father and doting brothers for a husband–especially a hated Campbell. But Jamie’s raw, sensual strength and searing kiss melt her resistance. When her idyllic world is shattered, Caitrina’s only hope to save her clan lies in the arms of Jamie Campbell, the enemy she holds accountable for its ruin. Can their tenuous truce, born in the velvet darkness of passionate nights, forge a love as strong as the sword that rules the Highlands?

I love historical fiction, this not so much.,
By Amie (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Highland Warrior: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a huge Diana Gabaldon fan, I love historical fiction especially anything to do with Scotland/Britain.Having said that I would have to say that I find this book not entirely up to my standard. I did not feel that the characters were well developed, the plot was weak at best and the lack of authentic history also weakend my overall liking to this novel. I do enjoy a good romance and of course with that comes sex, however this novel reaked of sex at every turn. It was difficult to really feel a strong connection to any of the characters and with all of the sex that was going on it lacked authenticity or true meaningfull fealing. It was to put it mildly a cheap filler of a novel. A trashy sex novel at best. Many people will disagree with me and truly enjoy such novels which is of course fine, but I need substance,wit,intelligence and depth to truly classify a novel as a great read.I'm not sure exactly why I ended up picking this novel to begin with, the cover is terrible, the type you want to place another book over while your purchasing it just so that you can feel somewhat okay with buying it to begin with. Oh well read and learn.

This review is from: Highland Warrior: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading the first trilogy by Monica McCarty, I was really looking forward to this one. It was also a very good story. Jamie Campbell is the legendary enforcer for Clan Campbell. Caitrina Lamont is the rival clan's reigning beauty. Campbell attends the highland gathering at the Lamont Ascog Castle under the guise of courting Caitrina while he searches for the outlawed MacGregors. Jamie then finds the ruse is real and wants the highland lass for his own. I enjoyed how well McCarty worked in the perspectives of the conflicts from both sides of the feuds between the highlanders and lowlanders in this book. Jamie is (sigh) a wonderful character. I enjoyed his humor and the beginning scene when Caitrina is stuck in a tree is perfect. The reason I gave it four vs five starts is that I thought Caitrina a bit shallow at times, while Jamie was a much stronger three dimensional figure. Still all in all a great book and I am really looking forward to the next one!

it is ok.,
By Sam "avid reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Highland Warrior: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved McCarty's previous highlander series, but this book was so aggravating. The heroin was so thick headed, her inability to communicate with her husband was frustrating. She seemed to have the same trust issue again, and again, and again. Parts of it were good, but it was so predictable. When she failed to trust him again, I almost quit reading it. It just got old, especially when the hero was so good to her.

Better character development than most historical romances,
By Samantha - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Highland Warrior: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
To be honest, I generally download romance novels on my Kindle as a quick, inexpensive and easy escape from reality. Oftentimes, these romances rush through character development and move immediately into the racy scenes. This isn't necessarily bad, but with those types of books, I rarely (if ever) remember the names of the characters or even the author. Highland Warrior is the first McCarty book I have read, but it certainly won't be the last.Because the author really develops the characters of Caitrina Lamont and Jamie Campbell, I found myself caring what happened to their relationship. I wanted to get back on the train to read more, and to learn the fates of the Lamonts and Campbells - how would Jamie and Caitrina possibly move past their clan loyalties/rivalries? I definitely recommend Highland Warrior to anyone who likes historical romances - I think the characters and story set this book above most romance novels. |
