Highland Soldiers #3
The Return
His battle-scarred heart stands in the way of a love that could heal him.
Scottish Highlander Alex MacDonell returns home from fighting for clan and king to discover that the girl he once hunted and fished with has become an intriguing young woman. Kenna has adored him for years, but he always treated her like a little sister. When her own brother dies from battle wounds, Kenna is left with no family or home.
Alex would love Kenna if he could, but recurring nightmares of acts he committed while hunting down Covenanters now haunt his days and nights. When Kenna comes too close to his heart, he pushes her out of his life—and unwittingly into the arms of another. Too late, he regrets his impulsive actions. Now he must fight to win her back before she weds another and is lost to him forever.

A love story
The story kept my interest. I don't know why I like them. Maybe because I believe in love for those closest to me. This certainly turned out to be a happy ending. Though I am beginning to predict future stories will be similar. Perhaps it's merely character building so I will continue on.

The one word I would describe myself as before reading this book was hesitant... not for any bad reason. I was hesitant because I knew this series was coming to an end and with that end there will never be the story I wanted so much (Hugh's story) because Hugh is gone... During the reading of this series I laughed, I cried, I screamed, and I got a bit angry (not for anything bad they were just some characters that mad you want to slap the .... out of them). I do not regret one second of reading any of these books

Ok
I read this because I read a previous book. I think it was Highland Soldiers The Enemy. This book was very predictable. I couldn't visualize the characters. Relationships occurred to quickly. There were some sex scenes, but they weren't explicit. I just didn't feel the romance or a great desire for the H. I did appreciate during some sex scenes that the author was able to portray it nicely without giving me a "how to" lesson!

Loved it
As the other books, I love them all. I would love to see they all come together in a reunion, all with babies in tow.

Good book.
I have enjoyed reading this series. Love the setting, the time period in Scotland, and the bonds of love and friendship.
