I enjoy a good romance novel and I'm partial to the highlander and historical romances. If you're looking for a fun historical romance, I recommend Paula Quinn's Ravished by a Highlander.
The blurb:
Davina Montgomery is no ordinary English lady. For her own protection, she has been locked away from society, her true identity the Crown's most closely guarded secret. Until a shocking betrayal -- and a bold rescue -- land her in the arms of a fierce Highlander, a powerful warrior whose searing gaze and tantalizing touch awaken her body and soul.
As the firstborn son of a powerful Scottish laird, Robert MacGregor has no loyalty to the English throne, but he's not the kind of man to leave a woman in distress. He vows to deliver Davina to safety, unharmed and untouched. Yet one stolen kiss leaves them both smoldering with desire. . .and desperate for more. With Davina's secret threatening to destroy his clan, Rob must choose between everything he holds dear and the one woman he can't live without.
Review:
I enjoy the historical romances with loyal, protective, and kind Scottish warriors who fall for intelligent, independent and witty young women. In Ravished by a Highlander Paula Quinn introduces us to Davina Montgomery, a beautiful English lady who is of such high birth that she's been hidden for most of her life. We don't know who she is exactly, just that she's surrounded by soldiers and nuns in the middle of nowhere.
Somehow, four Scottish warriors come across Davina just as the convent is under attack. Robert MacGregor somehow finds himself agreeing to save the damsel in distress and is unwilling to leave her to her fate. He joins the fight to protect her. Though he tries to leave her somewhere safe, it soon becomes apparent that Davina will not be safe anywhere.
Davina knows the danger that she brings and tries to protect the MacGregors by refusing to tell them her background and her real name. Davina's attempts to protect Robert MacGregor and his cousins amuses them at first, but as they realize who she must be, they gradually recognize the incredible risk that they take. By the time that Davina admits her identity, Robert is willing to risk everything that he has to keep her safe.
Davina's been protected all her life, so she's overwhelmed by the attraction that she feels towards Robert. Robert has always been focused on his family and his responsibilities, so his willingness to risk everything for Davina is a measure of his love for her. This seemingly hopeless love story is captivating. Ravished by a Highlander is a keeper!
