A story that will transport you to the hills of Scotland where you will meet a strong heroine in Astrid Fulton, a healer running from an evil Laird with her young niece/daughter, Melody, in tow right into the protection of another Laird, Thomas McFair. Astrid is caught stealing bread to feed Melody after escaping the clutches of Laird Jensen Challum’s men. She is brought before Laird McFair for her stealing but fate will smile on her when her healing powers are made known and her punishment for stealing is to be the elderly and dying Tavish McFair’s healer. Yet she must get back to Melody, so she attempts an escape only to be caught by Laird McFair himself and now she must confess all and he will never be the same.
Laird Thomas McFair, in my opinion, does not live up to the image of “twisted” as this title implies, because although he may be firm and possibly considered grouchy with his clan he was thoughtful, considerate, loyal to his family and so very loving and protective of Astrid and Melody. Now Astrid was a little “twisted” but only in the sense that she carried emotional scars from the past that effected her ability to trust and love. I thought the chemistry, the whole energy between these two, throughout this book was marvelous. The author gave their encounters of just closeness, breaths, a kiss, a touch such a deep sensuality that I could truly feel their desire for one another. It does get a little steamier as their relationship progresses and I thought the fact that is revealed about Thomas was rather endearing. This was one of those books that once I started to read it I just couldn’t put it down. I am hoping that his brother Reid will get his own book, after what he did in this one, I believe he deserves to tell his story.

Great story!
Thomas was a laird. Astrid was trying to get something for her niece to eat. She was declared a thief and the Laird came forward to punish her. Astrid was found to be a healer and the Lairds father needed one. He said that she could stay there if she helped with his father but she needed to go back to the village and get her niece. So they did and she helped the Lairds father when other healers did not. This is a great story of love, hate, kindness.

Awesome adventure
Such an interesting and exciting story. The characters were amazing especially Melody. Such a little imp. Her enthusiastic nature catches you off your guard at times. The adventure was amazing. Poor Astrid had a very bad life before meeting Thomas. Reid was another person who you just couldn't help to love. Thanks for your story!

Once again a bestseller
I think Melody is my fav. What an adorable child. This was a very quick read because I couldn’t stop reading. I think that the brother now needs his own book.

twisted?
I don’t understand the title of this book. He was far from twisted. She on the other hand?!? The dialect almost sounded Shakespearean. It was an interesting read. Can’t wait to read the extended epilogue. Thank you my dear.

Great story
This story had it all. It had a growing passion, an evil man, and a real twist. It also has a climatic ending. Melody is a delightful child. Thomas got the love that his parents had. Another wonderful story.

Astrid comes to Laird McFairs castle after stealing bread from a local and Thomas thought they could have a marriage of convenience to keep her from Laird Chalian. He comes after her. Thomas and Astrid have fallen in love and the final battle is something quite unreal.

Astrid
What a great read about a woman determined to save herself and her niece. Thomas was a leader and Laird who adored his family and loved his sick father dearly. The struggle to make their lives work and find love among the way, great read and I highly recommend it.

Wedded to the Twisted Highlander
The story had good moments but I found trouble with it. The story kept repeating itself. There were scenes that puzzled me. Hide and seek game was one.. Oh what happened to Thomas's dad. Is he still alive when the baby came.

Astrid and Thomas
Wow, what a wonderful story. Truly a beautiful read, I had all I could do to put it down just to go to bed and sleep. So if you pass this one here up it’s your loss not mine.

Who was the twisted highlander?
Thomas was not twisted . if anyone was, it was the other Laird. She did not wed him, Not quite what I expected from the title.
