Cree & Dawn #3
Highlander's Captive
Readers have fallen in love with Cree, the mighty Highland warrior, and Dawn, the courageous woman born without a voice. Their story started in Highlander Unchained and continued in Forbidden Highlander. Now the Highlander Trilogy comes to a conclusion in Highlander’s Captive. The story centers on Cree’s sister Wintra. Much like her brother, she is strong-minded and willful and intends to do as she pleases until...
Torr is a mighty Highland warrior on a mission. He must find the powerful warrior Cree’s sister and return her home, but it isn’t as easy as he thought it would be. As much as he is determined to complete his task, she is even more determined that he doesn’t, until...
Wintra is in no need of help from the brute warrior that her brother Cree has sent to bring her home. She has plans of her own and they include marrying the man she has fallen in love with, whether her brother likes it or not. But stuck in the woods in a snowstorm completely naked with the mighty warrior, thanks to her own foolishness, has her more persistent than ever to find her way back to the man she loves, until...
They fall in love and nothing is the same after that, especially when Torr returns Wintra home to Cree. The truth comes to light about many things, especially one long held secret that changes everything for Wintra.

As the third book of the Cree and Dawn Highlander Trilogy, this time sharing the spotlight with Cree's sister Wintra and Dawn's brother Torr, I really enjoyed this read as well!
We pick up more or less from where we left off, with Cree receiving the news that Wintra has been kidnapped from where he left her at the abbey. Of course, Cree sets off to rescue her, only to be closely followed by Dawn--and Torr. As it turns out, Torr goes to rescue Wintra alone, and thus begins their tale of romance.
Now, going into this read, I'll admit that I wasn't expecting as much, but that's because there are reviews that lead one to expect that this book isn't as good as the first two. True, Cree and Dawn definitely have less time as the main characters for this one, the plot centering way more on Wintra and Torr, but...
It's not bad in any way.
Some people have reviewed that the romance between Wintra and Torr is insta-romance, and therefore it's not believable. Well...yeah, but Cree and Dawn's romance was kinda spontaneous as well. And besides which, Wintra makes sure to question the romance, and rightly so, and yet...in the world of what I'm coming to expect from Donna Fletcher, I honestly think just having fluffy, will-work-out romance is fine. I mean, not that I want to read these types of romances all the time or anything, but they do work from time to time and it's a stress-free read when I know that some of the many other cliches that hold back romances in romance novels won't be taking place in a plot because it is just possible for a couple to get along.
Logic asks: why not?
So, on that score, I don't mind it.
As for Wintra and Dawn being developed as characters, to be honest I felt that it was really only Torr who needed an itsy-bitsy bit more development. Wintra, for example, was opposite from Dawn in many ways, arguing from the start, fighting from the start, etc. But then, unlike Dawn, Wintra always knew that her position as a docile lady raised by nuns was temporary--Dawn honestly expected to be a lowly peasant all her life, and being mute also gave her the impression that she was meant to be submissive. Not so Wintra though, who was taught by Cree to fight and use every dirty trick in the book that she needed to in order to protect herself.
Torr, on the other hand, was...kind of a more mild version of Cree. He admits easily when he's in love, for example, and though he's deadly enough to break his enemies arms, legs, and necks using his bare hands, he also doesn't have the same penchant for torture that Cree seems to, and gets his business over with quickly. He may be a scarred hero physically, but between him and Cree, Cree is definitely the more intense one.
All in all though, I like how both Wintra and Torr function, and, moreso, I like how they work together as a couple. Wintra is inquisitive and open and honest as heck, and Torr is just the caring, understanding man he needs to be in order to respond to that. I really liked their candid discussions about intimacy, thinking not just how uncommon it was in the olden days for intimacy to be discussed, but how even today some couples don't communicate openly about it. Their relationship from that point of view was nothing short of refreshing, in other words.
Additionally, seeing Dawn, Wintra, Torr, and Cree all interacting together made them a fearsome foursome to be sure, and made me almost giddy as I read through the chapters.
Ahem, and, lastly, I really liked how there was a defined villain in this book. In the first two stories, we definitely have more of a mystery aspect going on, as we don't know just who is after Dawn or why, but here we know who the enemy is and it's just the switch that the series needed--not all villains need lurk in the shadows, after all.
Anyway, to conclude, I will be adding this to my shelves on my favourite series list with the other books of the Highlander trilogy, and leave off here for now. I know that there are other Cree and Dawn short stories and such, but I may return to those some other time. For now, I just appreciate the trilogy as it is.

Ok. SO... I loved book one and two mainly because the main characters were fantabulously amazingness. And I assumed this trilogy would be about Cree and Dawn throughout. So I had a happy dance as I started the third book.
HOWEVER. I should have read the description because the last book in this trilogy is about Cree's sister Wintra and Dawn's brother Torr.
I gave it a chance though despite my sadness on less Cree in my life. But I did not like Wintra at all. She was really bratty and whined and Torr just loved her so instantly it wasn't even believable. And I love insta-love but it felt really forced with these two.
I did give it two stars because of the glimpses of Cree and Dawn that was shown throughout the book.

I didn't enjoy this one. Not sure why it didn't grab my attention. It's the same old story, guy takes girl, girl refuses him but then gives in...such a cliche. For me it was borderline boring.

3.5 stars.
i actually much prefer this book over Highlander Unchained & Forbidden Highlander mainly because i found it easier to like Torr and Wintra. Torr was so much nicer than Cree in terms of him not ordering or scowling at Wintra like Cree did to Dawn which i disliked. Torr was gentle, understanding and i liked how he was protective of Wintra all the time that it was romantic.
as for Wintra, i liked that she was a very strong woman, learning from her mistakes in loving Owen and always has her head in the clouds (like me). unlike Dawn who was reckless most of the time without any care to herself, Wintra was not reckless and think through her actions before doing it. it shows that she does logical thinking and has common sense.
luckily, they didn't spend every chapter just having sex with one another unlike what Cree and Dawn did (too much). they actually spent a good deal of time in the first few chapters just getting to know each other which i liked. unfortunately, i did think the romance was too fast before they were falling in love as i felt they did not know each other well enough. i would have preferred more bonding between them before the falling in love part. thankfully, their conversations were fun and i liked the banter between them.
the book was action-packed and while i'm not someone who likes reading action in romance books, i did not find it hard to read the action nor was it boring. it had me at the edge of my seat and devouring every word.
this book pacing was done well, except for the romance but it did not drag like Cree's and Dawn's book which took 2 books and i was honestly kinda tired of their book dragging on and on. thankfully, the pacing was faster in this book.
as for the ending, it left me satisfied for Cree and Dawn but not much for Wintra and Torr and i felt the author should have covered more on Wintra and Torr in the last chapter since this is a book about Wintra and Torr (and where's the epilogue??) despite that, i did like seeing Cree and Dawn appear quite a lot in this book as i really did like them.
this book is a perfect example of great writing but can be further improved. the plot and pacing was great, the characters were interesting and strong but were lacking in romance.

Good characters, weaker plot than Cree and Dawn from the previous books in the series. This one involves Cree's sister and Dawn's brother. I said good characters and they were but not as well developed as I would have liked. As with Cree and Dawn, these too are hot for each other to a nauseating degree. If this were a play, every scene would have sex in it. Well written, but...
This will probably not be a re-read possibility for me unlike the previous series which I've read three times so far.

My, My, Wintra's adventure mixed with the continuation and outcome of Cree and Dawn's relationship can't be missed! It was such a nice read for a closure of the, my I say, trilogy series. Although the twist wasn't as complicated as the one in the previous books I'll say. But the anticipation is there :)

This went from weird to stupid to just plain ridiculous really quickly. This book was all over the place. There is a ridiculous "love story", characters with no chemistry, and a whole bunch of things that are thrown in there that are just annoying. Wintra's kidnapped, then she falls in love, is kidnapped again, is shy an naive, then witty and stuborn, helpless in one moment, a fighter in the next. She's kidnapped again, turns into a super healer, is kidnapped again, Torr is her husband and won't let anything happen to her and then BOOM her father appears. It's all one ridiculous string of events that does not work, the characters are inconsistent and even the writing is not good either. This is all just one big no.

This was so far the best one in the trilogy. I don't understand why this book isn't rated so well as the other ones.
Wintra is cree's sister, who is 19. She escapes from the abbey because owen makes her believe that they were in love. Torr ( half brother ) takes the responsible of bringing back home.
along the away,they both fall in love. Though they are already married as decreed by the king.
A little more drama and threats . And we get to the end with wintra pregnant and dawn giving birth to twins. A nice ending to the trilogy.

Too much Cree and Dawn.
I had a difficult time rating this story. I loved Torr and Wintra. Their characters were well developed and interesting. The story was engaging and suspenseful. BUT, I wanted THEIR story, not more Cree and Dawn. The first 2 chapters focused on Cree and Dawn and those chapters were completely unnecessary and to be honest, unrealistic. It made Dawn seem immature and irresponsible and Cree weak. Even though I enjoyed the book, I would’ve liked more of Torr and Wintra and less of Cree and Dawn.

I couldn't finish the book to be honest. I didn't really feel the love between Torr and Wintra like I did with Dawn and Cree. It was also very rushed like everything was happening too fast towards the middle of the book. Even though the first two books were pretty fast paced this one was so fast paced that it completely skipped the love story between h and H. It was very forced and little boring but I still love the first two!

I honestly loved this book more than the first two. Not only is Torr and Wintra's chemistry so sweet yet alluring, I find that we see Cree and Dawn's relationship mature a lot too, which I wanted. This book also had a lot of mysteries, much like the first book, and it was action packed. I appreciated the bonding between Dawn and Wintra and Torr and Crew. Though the ending was so perfect, I wish we saw more of Torr and Wintra too but overall, I enjoyed reading Highlander's Captive.

((Disclaimer: This review ended up being WAY longer then I thought it would be when I started writing it. I apparently had a LOT to say))
When I originally started to write this review, I had given this book 4 stars. As I kept on writing, it got longer, and I thought more about it I had no choice but to drop it to 3 stars. And it pained me to do so because I wanted to like it. I wanted to love it in fact. I LOVE the first two books in this series (Highlander Unchained and Forbidden Highlander) but in the end I could not bring myself to do more then tolerate it for the love of the first two books.
Now, like I said, I read this book from the POV of someone that read the first two. I know the back story. I HIGHLY advise anyone that has not read the first books to stop right now, go back, and read them. They are better (two of my favorite romance novels I have ever read) and I feel like anyone coming into this one without knowing Cree and Dawn's back story are going to be totally lost.
Now, where to begin? There is so much to say. Let's talk about the main characters, Wintra and Torr. Or are the main characters Cree and Dawn? And there in lies the problem. This book is meant to be the story of Wintra and Torr but the previous main characters are SO present in the plot it's hard to tell who's book this really is at times. I was so involved with the Cree/Dawn previously that with them still hanging around I could care less about the Wintra/Torr plot. Especially since both are really quite generic. I can see attempts at giving them some kind of distinctive personalities but nothing ever sticks. Torr had more of a personality in his appearance in book two. Also, their relationship just seemed to... happen? You never see them really talk to one another or get to know one another before they end up madly in love. Wintra flip flops on her feelings quite easily. In the span of a few days she goes from being head over heels in love with one guy to hating him (though she had a darn good reason) to falling right head over heels in love with another man that is a total stranger to her. There is no real reason for her to fall in love with Torr other then he helped her out. The two don't seem to form an honest emotional relationship with one another. About halfway though the book they FINALLY take the time to talk and actually learn about one another.
I also had this sinking feeling in the second half of the book like I knew the plot. Could I possibly have read it before? Oh! That's right! I did! In the book before this one! Yeah, the fact that the "father plot" pretty much paralleled Dawn's "father plot" from the previous book REALLY bothered me. The first time around, it was different and unexpected. When I saw it again in this book all I could think was... did the author forget they used the pretty much the exact same plot in the very same book series? Was there really NOTHING else that could have been used to make Wintra different from Dawn? By that point I felt bad for Wintra that not only did she have no distinctive personality but she has no distinctive plot either. Just a whole bunch of Dawn's left overs.
And this might just be a nit pick on my part but it might be the thing that bothered me the MOST about the book. Even more then the generic characters, the battle of the main focus, and the repeated plot points. The thing that bothered me most... was not tying up the loose ends. It was mentioned more then once in previous books how Dawn had a private spot she would only share with her true love so I naturally was waiting for her to take Cree there. Never happened. It was mentioned by Old Mary that the woman that Sloan would end up with was already among them. So I naturally was waiting for him to start to notice her. Never happened. I love that Fletcher writes short story for her characters after the books are over and I can only think now that she mentioned these things to eventually write short stories about them at a later date... but come on! Don't place things in the books, bring them up multiple times, and not give closure to it in the main series. I could let the Sloan thing pass, but Dawn's private spot being TOTALLY forgotten really REALLY irked me.
I wanted to love this book. I was dying for the end of this series but in the end I was really let down. If Fletcher wanted to make the book about Wintra and Torr, then Cree and Dawn should not have been so large a part of their story. I understand they are family. Great. But come on! HECK! The end of the book, which is meant to be Wintra and Torr's I remind for what feels like the 10th time, is ENTIRELY about Cree and Dawn! I don't complain about the ending itself because it's a beautiful, tearful WONDERFUL ending to Cree and Dawn's story.... in a book that was not theirs. I would have rather the third book entirely about Cree and Dawn once again with Wintra and Torr just being side character in it because in the end Cree and Dawn were far more interesting characters both in personality and in plot. I feel sorry for Wintra and Torr that they are totally overshadowed in "their" book.

I enjoyed it, however, as in the first book...quite a number of corrections should have been done. Please hire a proof reader!!!!

"Highlander's Captive" by Donna Fletcher. I have been anxiously waiting for this story- the third of Ms. Fletcher's Highlander's trilogy. The first two books focus on Dawn and Cree - very entertaining - two of my favorite books. The third tells the story of Cree's sister Wintra and her relationship with Torr, Dawn's brother.
Wintra is innocent and very inquisitive -having grown up for the most part in an abbey. Torr is a strong warrior but has a tender side that shines through with Wintra. When obstacles get in the way of their love, can they overcome?
Despite this being Wintra and Torr's story, I've grown to adore Dawn and Cree and wish there was more of them in the story - this might sound a bit strange, but I missed them. Dawn especially, was not in the story much. And when she was, she seemed a bit subdued compared to the Dawn from the other books. There wasn't as much action in this book as the others, but that was ok - it tells the story of love between two that didn't expect it.
I would recommend this book, however, you might want to read the first two, "Highlander Unchained" and "Forbidden Highlander" first. You don't necessarily have to, in my opinion though as this is more of a stand alone story. Thank you, Ms. Fletcher, for another enjoyable story.

the story went on for a whole lot longer than i thought and I guess at times I felt that it was needlessly stretched into 3 books.
Wintra and Torr's intsa-love was a little hard to believe, i mean the only time I find insta-love relatively believable is in paranormal imprinting.
Granted he rescued and saved her but were it me, id probably be more thankful for his help than imagining myself in love but hey maybe thats just me.
They both had a sweet love and Im truly happy for them but the parts I liked best were those between Cree and Dawn obviously :p
I loved the part about their wedding and I cant express how happy I was for Dawns gift from heaven and Lord knows my soul cried out with hers just moments before the happily ever after.
It was a very sweet read, the entire trilogy.

This was truly the most wonderful tale I have read in a very long time. The other two book were great, but this one was fantastic. I waited a very long time for this book. When it was finally here, I re-read the first two and then continued on with the third. I was not disappointed. Torr & Wintra's story was great and I love how it was intertwined with Crew's and Dawn's the whole time. I would have loved for Sloan to have his own story. If you loved the first two books, you will definitely love this one. I hope their are more Highland books in the works.

No It Can't End
This book is the last in a series of three .I will admit that I enjoyed the parts that had Cree and Dawn in them the most,but have great love for the whole series. Donna Fletcher is a wonderfully descriptive writer that drags you into her books .I would recommend this series to everyone

Wintra-Torr sweet banget. Plot kali ini gak terlalu ribet dan berteka-teki seperti di dua buku sebelumnya, tapi tetap aja bikin ketagihan untuk terus baca. Cree-Dawn masih jadi primadona bagi saya. Paling suka pas bagian Dawn melahirkan, mengharukan banget. :)

Highland Trilogy
Captivating. A little to descriptive with intimacy but not enough to distract from the " good storytelling" of the characters and plot. When you can experience action, excitement, and joy of reading child birth experiences,you have a book worth reading.
