Angus: A Highland Warrior Brief (novella)

Highland warrior Angus Connor lives in a world filled with danger and mystery, but the secret he’s just discovered could destroy the woman he loves and stretch the boundaries of time.

While searching for a legendary warrior rumored to be trapped in a time vault for over a century, this modern day Scottish highlander stumbles upon an ancient plot to betray the Connor Clan. Angus isn’t sure who he can trust, except his best friend Anna, the beautiful warrior he secretly loves. But when he goes to ask for her help, he sees her with another man. Blinded by jealousy and regret, Angus leaves Scotland to begin his quest.

As he searches for the lost time travel vault and tries to expose the traitor, he uncovers a terrible secret about Anna’s past. If he tells her, it will break her heart. If he keeps silent, he’ll betray her trust. Before he can decide, he makes the most shocking discovery of his life, and he’s forced to battle an ancient demon who wants the time vault and the warrior for his own evil schemes.

Great novella that connects the last book, Embrace the Highland Warrior, to the new book coming out on June 3rd, Heart of a Highland Warrior. Would definitely recommend this novella to anyone who has been reading the Highland Warrior series. ARC received for an honest opinion.

This book is one of the few I read that made me cry... When I told the author I said this was good because this story moved me emotionally. Angus is a true hero as he will fight for his family & friends giving anything needed to keep them alive. He will protect them while on his quest even as he hides his love... This story flows & leaves you waiting for the next book releasing soon after this one.

Better than others

While this is a short story it gives a lot more information and leaves many questions. Angus is a key to earlier stories. He found Tavis' key although he was looking for Faelen. They look a lot alike!
We find out a little more about Anna and Ronan, although I still have many questions about Ronan and his behaviour in previous stories.
Let's see what happens next...

More questions that need answers. Is Angus really alive? Hmmmmmmmm! Interesting. This clan appears to be semi invincible? The next chapter should tell us.

Mischief... Mystery... Adventure... Betrayal... How much can the dynamic duo Angus Connor and Anna MacKinley experience? Join in Angus and Anna's quest to find the legendary warrior whose been trapped for over a century in a time vault. As they find clues to where the warrior may be, Angus discovers there is a traitor among the Connor clan and he doesn't know where to turn. Angus is a character you cannot help but love. He is a big goofball with a heart of gold; which is tested when he discovers something that will devastate the woman he loves. When confronted with a personal betrayal, Angus travels to Scotland and comes face to face with an ancient demon.

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ AWAKEN THE HIGHLAND WARRIOR THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS. Angus was a minor character in Awaken the Highland Warrior and this novella dives deeper into his story. It was so much fun to get to know the mystery man who died. You fall in love with his crazy desires to solve mysteries and how he lives to serve his clan. He is the friend that every girl should have.

Can I just say for a short book, this packs a serious punch! If you've been following this series then you HAVE to read Angus. It answers a lot of questions and sets up some OMG questions that have your mouth swinging open. Personally, I spent most of this book squealing like a teenager and wiggling like a dog waiting for a kid to toss the ball!

Oh my dear Louise! I can't actually give a full review without spoilers but let me just say a lot of things in this book made me wiggle with excitement, I mean literally get out of my chair and shake my broad ass wiggle!

Walter's dreams made me... WIGGLE!
Angus's discoveries made me... WIGGLE!
Anna's story emerging, OMG! WIGGLE!
Them green-eyed owls... WIGGLE!
Tavis! Tavis! Tavis! Tavis!... WIGGLE!

I think I might have lost a few inches off my waist with this book.
Carry on Ms Anita.
Heart of a Highland Warrior... my waist awaits!

An enjoyable story that brings you in and gets you hooked on this book series. For me it also opened so many questions about what happened with other characters mentioned in this book.

Angus is not only a hot sexy warrior that fights demons but is so likable with his playful inquisitiveness for solving/finding things. Seriously Anna, his childhood friend and fellow demon slayer, and he are so close that one wonders how life would be if they got together. Well, guess you will have to read it like me to find the answers too and then go order the other books to tie it all in

If you're already a fan of Anita Clenney, then this ones a must read.
This story is entwined with Awaken the Highland Warrior and reveals a little more of the mysteries surrounding the Clan.
As well as fighting demons with the beautiful Anna, Angus has made some startling discoveries within the clan and is determined to get to the bottom of it. He's also keeping a few secrets of his own, some of them concerning Anna.

For Highland Warriors fans! Angus fills in quite a few details about what happens during the time of Faelen's story in Awaken the Highland Warrior. It also brings up several characters that we have read about in both Awaken and Embrace the Highland Warrior. It was especially fun to read more about Anna. Ends on a very mysterious note though, so be warned! It will leave you wanting to jump into Heart of a Highland Warrior!

An interesting link, one who whets your appetite for more?

Although much of what I read about Angus was covered in previous books of my reading, I got a better understanding of his and other related individuals! I have the impression of other adventures with him and the Connor Clan! I can't wait, give me more!

I'm so glad I read Angus' story before I get to Heart of a Highland Warrior. It was a great bridge between the 2nd and 3rd books. I wish it was longer as I really liked Angus.
