Highland Fire

by Joyce Carlow

As the Scottish clans prepare to battle England for sovereignty, two flame-haired Highland beauties—born twins, orphaned and separated at birth—are haunted by the eerie vision of a sister who seems more dream than reality. In Highland Fire, we follow the story of one of these sisters, a spirited lass who seeks her destiny in a world of treachery and passion.Though her relatives forced her into an arranged marriage with Bran Chisholm, Edana MacLean vowed never to love her betrothed, no matter how handsome he might be. Her heart had already been stolen by a darkly seductive highwayman—the infamous Phoenix—who offered the irresistible challenge of certain danger and searing desire.Bran's stubborn bride refused to declare her love for him—claiming she preferred a masked brigand. Yet when he took her in his arms, the fiery beauty returned his burning stolen kisses, unaware that he alone knew the Phoenix's secrets. Now, as Scotland gathered its forces to make a stand against British might, Bran would be cast in the deepest dungeon—driven to escape by the memory of feverish nights with his Highland lass, and the promise to possess her very soul.

[Michelle Woosley · Rating 4 out of 5]

It isn't my favorite. I like books where sex isn't such a large part of the story. Yes I know I am reading romance novels they have sex in them that's a requirement. The love story between Edana and Bram is charming. It's tragic but still has a happy ending.

It was a great book. I always learn about Scotland when I read these type of books. I want to read the one about her twin sister who she hasn't met yet!
