Mastered by the Highlanders

by Katie Douglas

After English soldiers invade her village, nineteen-year-old Callie seeks shelter in a remote castle deep in the highlands. The laird of the castle, Andrew of Clan MacKinnon, offers her a job as a cook, but he makes it clear that living under his roof will mean obeying him without question or facing the consequences.When Andrew takes it upon himself to bathe her, Callie resists and quickly earns herself a painful, humiliating spanking, but to her surprise the punishment leaves her not only blushing with shame but also helplessly aroused and longing for the handsome laird to dominate her completely. Callie is further shocked when Andrew’s close friend, Brandon, returns to the castle and she learns that she will be expected to submit to him as well.Though she finds it difficult to believe that two powerful men would want a common girl like her, Andrew and Brandon inform Callie that they have always intended to share a woman, and it isn’t long before she finds herself being brought to one shattering climax after another as she is claimed hard and thoroughly by both of them at once. But will the men cast her aside once they have satisfied their desires, or do they truly plan to make her theirs forever?Publisher’s Mastered by the Highlanders is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes including threesomes, BDSM content, and more.

2.5 ⭐️
Probably should have been a DNF

The smutty scenes are fair abrupt and don’t quick flow with the story. They just kind of appear at random.

Fairly heavy on the punishment spankings for not much of a reason. Plus one of them gives her the cold shoulder for a bit and she just spends time trying to do better even though he punished her and they should have been the end of it. Kind of missed how it all works

Pet hate of mine, the language used is pretty much just modern English with the odd ‘ye’ ‘wee’ and ‘lass’ thrown in. Does not fit the story at all.

Good read

Enjoyed the story and trip back in time. The story ends well, just sad it was done. Low angst plentyof steam.

Callie is forced from her village by English soldiers, she stumbles upon an unknown castle and takes refuge in one of the barns. The Lord of the Castle, Andrew, takes pity on her and offers her a place to stay and a job as a cook. When he finds her aroused by his discipline, he is intrigued by the possibility of Callie serving both him and his best friend Andrew. Callie quickly falls for both men, and finds comfort and stability that she has never really had in life.

This is a very well written historical menage. Andrew provides Callie with the firm discipline she needs, while Brandon provides comfort and reassurance. The two different personalities work well in the menage relationship. The constant threat of an English invasion adds drama to the story and balances well with the budding romance. This is my first book from this author, and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

I received and ARC of this book from Stormy Night Publications.

Terribly amateurish writing and the erotica element was sadly lacking (in content if not frequency---since the book vacilates between inner monologues about Scottish history to OK, time to fuck. And about that rapidly and strangely). Among the many failings , one of the standouts was the RIDICULOUSLY modern phrases such as "Holy mackerel You've got to be kidding me!" Said by the 18th century taciturn dominant Laird. At this point, I was tempted to just give up but hung in there just for sheer laughability

This was a cute, quick read. The book primarily is about Callie, who has run from her village, and the two men she meets and their journey to a relationship. The book is historical but at times I found it to be too modern. The threat from the English lent an air of danger to the story. I received this book from Stormy Night Publications as an Advanced Reader Copy.

Great read.

The book had the things I want in most book. It has a good story line mixed with just the right amount of sex, romance and a little discipline.
