Untamed Highlanders #4
The Highlander Is All That
Elizabeth St. Claire has always been hard to please. Dreaming solely of Highlander men her whole life, no prancing London Lord can stand a chance at winning her heart...
… But perhaps a Scotsman can.
Elizabeth watches intrigued as the Highlander of her dreams, a Scotsman named Hamish Robb, arrives to oversee her season at the behest of her cousin, the Duke of Caithness. Elizabeth doesn’t hide her feelings for the striking Scot. But Hamish, determined to obey his order to protect the St. Claire sisters, steadfastly rejects her every seducing lure.
Believing that the debutante Elizabeth deserves a better, wealthier man, Hamish continues to turn away from her affection, even though he doesn’t exactly want to. Can this Highlander Scot resist the tempting seductress’ attempts to win his heart?

This book was delightful. I love this series so much and I was thrilled when I realized this had been released. My only complaint was the length, IMO it was wayyyy too short. While the other books in the series also have little offshoots and hints of the other books happening throughout, it was different this time. It felt like two novellas occurring at the same time. Complete with the falling in love/sex scene/marriage of two different couples. Okay, scratch that. Almost three. There was a lot going on for 257 pages. I'm book greedy and I would have loved if it had been two books instead of one. Hell, I'd have been happy with three books. Mary and Jamison need their own book. Talk about a unique pairing. So yeah. But that's just me. Like I said, book greedy.
Plot- Mary, Elizabeth, Anne, and Victoria are the St. Claire sisters, cousins to the Duke of Caithness. He is sponsoring them so that they get a season, wardrobe, dowries, the whole shebang. Fortunately for him but unfortunately for the sisters, his wife is pregnant and he refuses to leave her so he sends Hamish and Ranald to watch over them and scare away fortune hunters and such. Elizabeth is love with Scotland and everything Scottish, including Scottish men and is instantly drawn to Hamish. It's mutual. Anne detests everything Scottish (she has her reasons, however unfair or absurd) but Ranald doesn't care, he's instantly attracted to Anne. From there we have Hamish, who is untitled and of humble means trying to convince Elizabeth to aim higher than him despite the fact that he absolutely adores her. Elizabeth will hear none of it. Anne and Ranald have their own storyline, which was really fun to read. There are kidnappings, elopements, and dastardly villains. Like I said, such a fun book. It does help if you've read the previous books. There are a lot of references that you might find confusing if you're starting with this book. We get a chance to catch up with the characters from the previous books and I'm not gonna lie, it made me want to re-read the series from the beginning. I just might. Do I recommend?

I love this book! Anne, Elizabeth, Victoria and Mary live in London with their Aunt Esmeralda as their parents are deceased. They are distantly related to the Scottish Duke of Caithness who would like to see them find husbands. He sends Hamish Robb and Ranald Gunn, Baron of Bower, to watch over them and scrutinize their suitors. Elizabeth is the main heroine, but all the sisters find their true love. It’s one of the things I enjoyed about this book – more than one HEA.
Elizabeth remembers visiting Scotland as a child and would prefer living there to London. She is being pursued by Lord Twiggenberry, who she does not care for. However, she finds Hamish very attractive and doesn’t mind he does not have a title. Anne, the eldest, is quiet and bookish but something draws her to Ranald, a widower who would like to remarry as he has a young daughter.
Victoria and Mary also fall in love and with men that may surprise you. This book has a lot going on and I don’t like to ruin a wonderful story. I liked that the epilogue features their friends from the earlier books in the Untamed Highlander series as the sisters move to their new homes in Scotland. I’m looking forward to the next installment as the young girls grow up.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and no one influenced my review. Release date is Oct. 10th

This book is the much awaited follow up to the novella "The Scot Says I Do" in Say Yes to the Scot: A Highland Wedding Box Set in which we met the St. Claire sisters. This book not only brings back her Untamed Highlanders, but also several of the characters from her Noble Passions series.
The primary hero/heroine in this book are Elizabeth St. Claire and Hamish Robb, but there is a very strong secondary romance between Anne St. Claire and Ranald Gunn, Baron of Bower, as well as secondary-secondary romances for the two younger sisters, Victoria and Mary.
Elizabeth and her sisters are cousins to the Duke of Caithness and he has generously financed their season and given them dowries, but since his wife Lana is expecting their first child, he sends Hamish and Ranald to London to watch over them in his stead. Their chaperone Lady Esmerelda, is disappointed that the duke is not going join them, but decides that having two handsome highlanders around could be used to their advantage. Lady Esmerelda is on a mission and nothing will stop her from finding husbands for the St. Claire girls!
Elizabeth already has a suitor when the book opens, Lord Twiggenberry (OMG - I still crack up over that name), and as much as she knows he would be a good match, she really doesn't like him (or the pomade he uses), she hopes for a love match and preferably with a Scotsman, so when she meets Hamish for the first time - it is like an answer to all her prayers. Hamish is equally taken with Elizabeth, but doesn't feel like he has anything to offer her and tries to quash his desire for her.
The story that ensues is a very amusing tale complete with kidnappings, runaway marriages, an Almack's patroness with wandering hands, stinky suitors and a second chance at love. Yup, this story has something for everyone - laugh out loud moments, heart wrenching moments, steamy moments, lots of cameos and finally several HEAs!
This book could easily be read as a stand alone title but once you read it, you are going to want to read the Untamed Highlander and the Noble Passion series just to find out what you missed!!
I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to next generation of highland heroines!

Pick a chair and this book, and prepare to be delighted and amused. Hamish and Ranald are to serve as emissaries in the Duke of Cathness’ stead, to oversee the seasons for the Duke’s newfound cousins. Anne, Elizabeth, Victoria and Mary are living in the Duke’s house, supervised by their aunt Esmerelda. The Duke has provided them money for the season and it’s accoutrements, as well as dowries, to see these girls wed and happy. But, the Scotsmen in London, especially during the season, are sure to bring no end of curiosity. These four sisters are clever, fun, a bit headstrong and wholly intriguing. And on the surface, their aunt Esmerelda is ruling with an iron fist, solidly grounded in the ways of the ton, and wholly appropriate for their sponsor – as she is a highly placed dowager in society.
Oh this was such fun, and so many characters familiar from earlier books in the series, and plenty of action and moments to laugh. From Hamish being manhandled (and nearly ravaged) by the leading light in a retiring room at Almack’s their first night out as chaperones, to the leading contender for Elizabeth’s hand being named Twiggenberry, and replete odorous pomade, the back and forth here is funny, as the fires burn for all the young women, just not as their aunt would have it.
A kidnapping, two runaways and two harrowing treks to Gretna Green have the verra capable Hamish and Ranald near their wits’ end, with both finding themselves in quandaries: serve their Duke and see them married, or allow love to grow and perhaps risk his wrath. From Anne’s solid protestations of being ‘out of the frenzy’, to Mary’s starry-eyed love, Elizabeth’s naiveté wrapped in the desire of her heart and Victoria’s inability to keep a secret in the midst of her outrageous utterances, the story is wonderfully quick to move, and readers of the series will instantly recognize (and love the insertions) from friends and family met earlier in the series. If you’ve not read the series, after the epilogue, you most certainly will want to grab every book in the series – and be prepared for laughter, heart, steam and plenty of happy endings. I can’t wait for the stories of Isobel and Catriona and their debuts in London – I know that these are characters that everyone can find someone to love within!
York has done it again – melded great romance and plenty of obstacles to show the power of love winning out – and taking readers on a journey full of heart.

Delightfully entertaining book with something for everyone – what is not to love. Kidnappings, elopements, and romance – Oh! My!
The four St. Claire sisters, Anne, Elizabeth, Victoria, and Mary are cousins to Lachlan Sinclair, the Duke of Caithness. When their parents died, their dreams of a season died as well – until the Duke took an interest in them and provided them with dowries and a season. They live, in London, with their aunt, Esmeralda Van Cleve who is a society maven. She will stop at nothing to get her nieces married into the highest titles and wealth possible.
They are all looking forward to the Duke’s arrival from Scotland. He is coming to act as their protector and sponsor for the season. Except, it isn’t the Duke who arrives. His new wife is expecting and he won’t leave her and sends his emissaries instead, Ranald Gunn, Baron of Bower and Hamish Robb. Neither of them is welcomed by Aunt Esmeralda, but Elizabeth and Anne beg to differ! Hamish is square-jawed, green-eyed, dimpled and very handsome with his burnished red hair. Elizabeth loves the rumble of his voice and his Scottish brogue. Ranald is warm and sincere with sandy brown hair. Both are charming beyond belief.
Elizabeth has always dreamed of a Scottish suitor who would fall in love with her and sweep her off her feet – and they would live in the Highlands. The reality is that her current suitor, Lord Twiggenberry (Goodness what a name! – Giggles) is tall, thin, wooden-faced and wears an unctuous pomade that makes her stomach churn. He also natters on about what his dear mama’s expectations for his wife are.
Anne, who is tall and willowy with serene brown eyes, has no interest in anything Scot – especially the men. She loved one once and he broke her heart. So, she paints all male Scots with the same brush – as feckless and unfaithful. So, why does she find herself liking Ranald?
We get four romances and HEA’s in this one book – what a thrill. All of the romances are sweet, some are hard-won and others are very improbable. Then, you add in kidnappings, attempted rape, elopements and stubborn people and you have an interesting read that will keep you turning pages to see what happens – and to whom – next.

A wonderful romp!
What a giddy, hilarious bunch of young women are the St Claire sisters. I loved them and their quasi dragon Aunt Esmerelda, a powerful member of the ton.
And it's into this household two Scots are sent by the Duke of Caithness to stand in for him and chaperone his cousins during their London season. Well all that 'standing in' doesn't quite go to plan.
Elizabeth St. Claire is enchanted by the idea of all things to do with the Highlands and when Hamish Robb arrives she attracted to him from the very first greeting. The thing is Hamish feels he can't betray the Duke and that he's not wealthy enough for Elizabeth. A conundrum! Elizabeth is not in agreement with Hamish's sentiments.
And then of course there's Ann, Victoria and Mary! Each has a storyline that plays out quite delightfully.
There are some amusing scenes. I loved it when Lady Jersey chases down Hamish at an event and corners him in a library.
The St Claire sisters' season is like no other, peppered with wonderful scenes of mayhem and romance.

The Highlander Is All That is my first book to have read by Sabrina York and it certainly won't be my last!!!
This wonderful story of four sisters attending their first season in London looking to find a husband under the patronage of their cousin the Duke of Caithness was a very funny and entertaining read. It's focused around Elizabeth and Hamish a friend of the Duke who has been sent in his stead with another scotsman Ranald who is a Lord to protect the ladies while attending the many parties and balls that they get invited to. The two Scots are mostly frowned upon by much of the Ton thinking that they are savage barbarians which leads Hamish and Ranald to cause quite a stir amongst the ladies.
Elizabeth is a lady and Hamish has no title but they fall in love anyway knowing that socially they are not suited, so try as they might to stay away from each other they just cant stop it from happening. In the background of their story we also see Elizabeth's sisters Anne, Mary and Victoria also fall for men that ladies of their social standing shouldn't fall for without permission of the Duke.
The story has a great plotline with lots of humor from their Maiden Aunt Esmerelda and some exciting fisticuffs and scandal with a chase across the country and a kidnapping to add to the drama. This book has me gripped from the start and made my heart beat a little faster from all the hot and fiery passion going on between each couple, it was breathtaking. It was enough to make a girl swoon!
I totally loved this author's style of writing and her magical way of making you care about her characters was so exhilarating. I cant wait to read more from this truly talented author.
A brilliant 5 Stars!

This is one of those books that you start and don't want to stop reading. I loved all the characters. The 4 St Claire sisters all have minds of their own and although they are being sponsors for the season by their cousin a Scottish Duke they want to marry for love not money or title.
When the Duke can't attend the season because his wife is increasing he sends two Highland substitutes. Although the girls' aunt is disappointed. The girls are delighted and as soon as the men walk through the door it is love (or lust) at first site.
Watching the ton deal with Scottish barbarians is hilarious - from Lady Jersey flirting with Hamish to a morning call where the Scottish "monkeys" performed for the snobby women who came to see them - including belching, farting, speaking in a brogue so think you could cut it with a knife and finally, Hamish offering them a glimpse of what a Scot wears beneath his kilts.
If I had any complaints about the story is that the girls all fell in love so quickly but who wouldn't when faces with Scottish handsomeness. Another complaint is that the Epilogue is hidden after the About the Author section - I almost missed it and that would have been a shame.

I've read a number of Sabrina York's historical romances but I hadn't tried out any of the Untamed Highlander series. While there are 3 already in the series, you don't need to have read them. Other couples are mentioned here and there but it doesn't seem pivotal to the story. In The Highlander Is All That, there are actually two love stories going on. The story centers around 4 sisters and mainly on the 2 older sisters Anne and Elizabeth. Baron Bower and Hamish have been sent by their cousin to escort and protect the girls during the season. These Scotsmen are just what you want them to be. strapping, a little rough around the edges, and fun loving. Ranald (Bower) and Hamish each have unique characters and they are both enjoyable throughout the story. I was a little disappointed in Elizabeth's character who seemed a bit silly and without much substance though.

I loved this book! There is witty dialogue, sexy Scots and an emotional roller coaster for Elizabeth and Hamish. Elizabeth St. Claire dreads the Season having to deal with arrogant and sometimes smelly lords all vieing for her hand. She feels nothing for any of them. No man stirs her passion until two Scotsman arrive to act as their guardians on behalf of the duke who could not attend the Season himself. Elizabeth is immediately taken with Hamish and he with her.
This book has it all--drama, misunderstandings, love scenes, and banter between a number of characters. Ms. York is a talented author who knows how to keep the reader engaged in the story. The plot moved along at a good pace and I couldn't wait to see if Elizabeth and Hamish would finally get their happy endings. If you enjoy Regency romances with a dash of Scots, you'll love this book.

Sabrina York has hit another one out of the park with The Highlander Is All That. I'm giving this book 5 stars, only because I can't give it 6. Ms York has delivered a well-written book. Her characters are truly amazing in this book. Kudos to Ms York for the characters and dialog in this fun book. Buckle your seat belts for the rollercoaster ride that is Elizabeth and Hamish's story. There is plenty of drama, action, suspense and sizzle that will hold readers hostage to their e-readers. As an added bonus, you also get the mini stories of Elizabeth's sisters woven into this story. I loved this book from cover to cover and look forward to my next read by the talented Sabrina York. The Highlander Is All That is book 3.5 of the Untamed Highlanders Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

YAY! Hamish gets his own story. I have been begging for this story since the second book in the series. Fanastic story and great characters. You really get a two-fer in this book (really two major romances and two much smaller ones). Hamish and Elizabeth, Ranald and Anne, two couples who live life to the fullest and love just as hard. The best part of the book – lots of dialog – some funny, some sad but all engaging. Highlanders, what are you to do with them? Anything your heart desires!
I love how the men and women of Noble Passions are part of the story.

Hamish is a man who defends himself, “that is no’ true. Scotsmen are the most devoted lovers!” Elizabeth is a curious one, "did Hamish wear anything under his kilt? She would have to be sure to ask." Not only do we get to see Hamish and Elizabeth we get to see Anne and Ranald so like a two for one book, and Ranald is just as passionate as Hamish is with his woman, “well, hell, woman,” he barked. “Why did you no’ say something sooner?” Then he whipped her up into his arms, carried her across the room, and dropped her onto the bed." I loved this book, and I loved the Scottish meapn in this book.

LOVED this book! It's another sexy romance with a Scottish Highlander written as only the Queen of Hotness herself can write. I loved the characters and the way the author immersed me in their story and the time period. Anytime a woman is feeling unappreciated or having poor options, all we need to do is to read one of these books and see what it's really like to have no options.
There's just something about the author's Highlanders that reaches right out of the pages to grab my attention and hold it until the very last page.
Fans of the genre will love this book. While this is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however, it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Alright, first of all, this book was fun to read. I wanted to kick the one or the other highlander's lovely back every now and then and then there was this time where I wanted to do so much more to the one or the other lord...
But let's start at the beginning when two brawny Scots instead of one duke arrive and well, things start to happen rather quickly. And somehow dear Aunt Esmeralda, the chaperone of said duke's cousins, might have a very different idea of an excellent match than her four young wards. While Esmeralda sets out to reel in wealthy, titled suitors, the girls may have slightly different priorities.
With four young women in the house, love and chaos reign and even brawny Scots get caught in that whirlwind.
Even though they are sisters, the four young women are very different - and they fall for very different men as well. Just, well, let's say that the smell of pomade used in abundance is nothing any of them suffer well and the man behind that smell...ugh, he is not much better despite his title and his wealth. Reading the book you can easily see those sisters, falling in love, debating, caring for each other, teasing and, well, falling in love a bit more. It is fun to see them wreck havoc on all those wonderful plans Aunt Esmeralda has, especially as they don't care for the ton and its rules.
In the middle of it all, there are our Scots. Protecting the girls, chasing after them when they run of...or worse..., falling in love themselves and... then disaster strikes and things get really tough. I was really upset when that happened and couldn't put the book down because I had to know that everything would end well.
Fortunately, the book didn't disappoint and I got my HEA. I loved that even though Aunt Esmeralda set out to catch lords for the girls, the girls didn't care but went to find love and happiness and maybe even a Scotsman could be a part of this bundle of happiness.
Wonderfully written, humorous and fast-paced, this book was highly entertaining and sweet, I can definitely recommend it!

Aunt Esmeralda is in charge of the season for 4 sisters, Anne, Elizabeth, Victoria and Mary. They are staying in the house of a cousin, The Duke of Caithness. He is unable to come to London from Scotland so he sends two other Scots to protect the girls. Hamish and Ranald have come to keep the girls safe. They are doing as the duke requested.
Anne's heart was broken by a Scotsman who was a rake. He left her believing that all Scots are liars and heart breakers. When two handsome Scots show up, she is automatically willing to think the worst of them.
Elizabeth has had a dream of Scotland and Scotsmen since she was a child. She has romanticized them so when two handsome Scots show up, she is immediately smitten.
Victoria and Mary each have other interests, so the two Scotsmen are interesting but not arresting.
This is a fun read.
Aunt Esmeralda is a character who wants to be in charge of the world and she is well on the way. Anne is a quiet young woman who loves her family but has little or no interest in anyone else. She prefers books to people, especially male people. She believes she will never marry and that makes her perfectly happy. Elizabeth is mercurial. She allows her emotions to rule her actions. One look at Hamish and she is enamored. He is tall and muscular with lovely red hair and even lovelier green eyes. And when he speaks, the accent melts her heart. Victoria and Mary are charming and provide a great deal of humor to the story. They play a part in the story, but theirs are secondary stories.
Hamish and Ranald are partners in a distillery for scotch whisky. Hamish is a commoner who believes he does not deserve someone like Lady Elizabeth. He also believes the Duke would never approve of him declaring himself for Elizabeth.
Ranald is a widower with a small daughter. His attraction to Anne is immediate. He likes her wit and he feels that in order to woo her it will take a very delicate touch. Anne is drawn to him in spite of herself. She likes his quiet confidence, his intelligence and his humor.
There is villainy in the story. There are misunderstandings between lovers. There are gossipy women who intend to see and describe the worst whether it is true or not. There is a great deal of humor in the story.
All four sisters are bright young women who have loving relationships with one another and those relationships include a great deal of teasing and humor. Hamish and Ranald did not look forward to coming to London, but both of them have found young ladies who have made them glad they came. All the characters are quite entertaining.
Ms York has created a terrific story. Although this is part of a series, it is easy to follow. The plot is interesting and holds the reader's interest. There is a happily ever after for everyone.

The Highlander Is All That by Sabrina York
Untamed Highlanders #3.5
The St. Claire sisters find themselves on the marriage market in London waiting for their cousin, a Scottish Duke, to arrive to make their entrance into society of greater standing. He does not show up and instead sends two Scotsmen in his place to act as guards. Four sisters will eventually find men to love but perhaps not with men they thought they would end up with when the season begins. There is romance and a kidnapping or two. There are kisses, and glamour and chases to save the kidnapped and balls with dances and beautiful outfits and wanted suitors and unwanted suitors and surprises that try to put monkey wrenches into the plans for happiness…until…the monkeys wielding the wrenches are removed.
The writing is well done and fun. The characters are varied and easy to dis/like. The couples are perfect for one another. The difficulties to overcome are believable. At the end of the story I was left feeling all had come right for the St. Claire sisters and their cousin AND some of the side characters mentioned caught my reader’s eye and made me wonder if they had stories already written that might be available for me to read.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press-Swerve – This is my honest review.

Elizabeth and her sisters are beginning their first season at the direction of their cousin a Scottish duke. While Elizabeth isn’t averse to finding a husband, what she really wants is a Scotsman. Hamish and his friend are sent to London to act as emissaries for the duke in overseeing the St. Claire’s girls as they are led by their aunt on a husband hunt.
This is a fun rowdy story with plenty of laughs especially when the sisters are all together. The beginning felt rushed between Elizabeth and Hamish and I wasn’t particular to her lack of innocence or his fear and angst when put in a compromising position. However, at around the fifty percent mark this book took off and I fell in love with pretty much everything afterwards.
It’s a fast read with witty dialogue, villains, humor and a bit of steam.

This was a fun, engaging story set in London, with a couple of rogue Highlanders thrown in the mix to make things interesting. Having read the previous three books in the Untamed Highlanders series, I knew I would enjoy the banter between the main characters and hearing about our previous heroes and heroines again. This took me back to Sabrina York's first book in the series, which captured my attention and heart, and I know it will capture yours too.
Elizabeth St. Claire is obsessed with all things Scottish. In fact, after going to Scotland as a young girl, she has ceased to find much about London to recommend it, particularly the foppish men. Give her a tall, brawny Highlander with muscles any day, over a vain London peacock who smells of pomade. When their cousin, the Duke of Caithness, sends two highlanders in his stead to watch over them during the season, Elizabeth find herself smitten. Hamish Robb has no title, but that doesn't matter to Elizabeth, who finds his smile and laughter the best sort of seduction. He, too, is smitten with her, but he knows that he is in no position to be offering her marriage. He vows to stay away. Over time, however, they begin falling in love, but Elizabeth soon finds herself engaged to another man. Can their love endure such heartache?
I greatly enjoyed both characters, particularly Hamish in his charm and good nature towards Elizabeth. He had some wonderfully romantic lines in this book, and Elizabeth ate them up as any good heroine would. However, there was a point in the book where their relationship was tested, and I felt both failed miserably at staying strong in the face of it. They eventually came through it all with their love intact, but it brought my review down to 4 stars. It all seemed a bit manufactured, much ado about nothing, and I would have preferred to see a bit more fight in Hamish and Elizabeth. Nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing their love grow, and in particular, seeing Elizabeth find out how strong she is on her own.
This series continues to be one of my favorites, and I am eager to read what is next (if there is, indeed, a next book). Sabrina York writes a beautiful romance story, and I encourage any reader of historical romance to give her books a try.

I absolutely loved this fabulous historical romance from Sabrina York.
This book had two very romantic stories. The main story follows Hamish and Elizabeth who fell in love with each other at first sight. They struggle in their relationship mostly from miscommunications on both of their parts. Elizabeth was determined though and relentlessly pursued her Highlander. As for the second story, while Elizabeth adores everything Scottish her sister Anne despises it with equal measure. She and Baron Bower were drawn to each other right away but their's was a slow burning romance. It took a while for the two of them to let go of the past.
I liked everything about this book. It had plenty of passiion, humor, excitement, and it was beautifully written. I heartily recommend this book to anyone.

The four St. Clair sisters are looking for husbands, well, not all. Their new found cousin the Duke of Caithness, has set them up for the season, Anne, Elizabeth, Victoria, and Mary, what they go thru is short of amazing and who they pick. The characters are authentic, compassionate and loving. The descriptions are excellent and you feel like you are part of the story. The plot is full of intrigue, fun, and some confused Scots. The author has set it up so it is an easy read, flows smoothly and you can not put it down. There is always something to keep your interest. I love the part where Hamish meets Lady Jersey, a laugh out loud moment. This is an excellent book and I wish I could give it more than five stars.

2.5. Two couples for the price of one, but it’s on the short side so both are left wanting. Actually all 4 sisters have romance, so it really should have focused on one couple and developed the storyline for that couple more.

Elizabeth and her 3 sisters are about to be turned out for the "season' in England, so they can find the "appropriate' husbands. The Duke of Hamish has been funding their season and, since he can't come because his wife is close to birth, he sends his two best friends, two Scottish men!!! Oh, the horror! Elizabeth is being hounded by a creepy 'lord' that she can't stand but, there's something about Hamish that draws her. Hamish is also drawn to Elizabeth but, he is a Scot and, not a Lord so, he doesn't feel that he is good enough for a lady of Elizabeth's standing. The love matches that these women make on their own, much to their aunt's dismay and, the merriment that ensues from onset to happy endings is classic Sabrina York and, the only reason that I LOVE HER Historical books!!!!
September 24, 2017
This book was a lot of fun, and sexy, and mischievousness abound! Though there are mention of characters, and meeting of people, from all, and I mean all, of the authours previous historical novels, they are part of this story, not part of their story. I haven't read some of them, and I no issue following
This is the story of the 4 St Clair ladies, orphaned and thought out of society until their distant cousin takes them in and gives them a season. Anne is the oldest, at 25, and Mary the youngest at 16. Elizabeth and Victoria and in-between the two, and a year apart. They are staying at Lachlan's London home with their aunt Esmeralda. The Duke can't make it, so he sends his two friends, Hamish and Ranald, to guide the girls through their season
The focus is mostly on Elizabeth and Anne, and the two Scotsmen sent to watch over them. The interactions, the stubborness, and the four girls find love and themselves. There are adventures along the way, kidnapping, elopments, judging ton society, missing people, smelly Earls, a lot of megrims and retching, real and imagined.
I couldn't put it down and turn away once I started. These characters, and this world, they pulled me in and kept me there, and I was happy to be there!

I have not read the first three books in this series, but didn’t have much of a problem keeping up. It does mention the couples from the previous Untamed Highlanders books and Sabrina’s story from the Anthology “Say Yes to the Scot”. It was a pretty good story. This story is about 4 sisters who have lost their parents and finally having a season because their cousin The Duke of Caithness, that they didn’t know about before, is paying for everything. Their aunt is their chaperone and is trying to get them all married. The sisters Anne, Elizabeth, Victoria, and Mary have very different personalities and views on marriage. Anne doesn’t want to get married and hates Scots because of a previous bad experience with a man that she thought she loved. Elizabeth loves Scotsman and Scotland because of a visit to that country with her parents. Victoria and Mary are enjoying seeing all the men and having their season after a long mourning period. The Duke of Caithness sends 2 trusted friends to watch over the sisters because he can’t make the trip. They are going to keep the girls safe. The 2 men Hamish Robb and Baron of Bower, Ranald Gunn think that this will be a boring and easy job. They of course underestimated the sisters, their personalities, and their suitors. Chaos ensues and the men have to stay on their toes to save the day or at least not make it worse. Things don’t go as their aunt would have liked, but in the end the sisters are happy.

How much would you risk for the one you love? This is the question on the mind of Hamish. He wishes to marry Elizabeth, but he feels she needs to be with someone better than him. This made me love Hamish as all he wanted was to make her happy and secure. Elizabeth, on the other hand, has other ideas, she does not care whats best for her she wants her Scottish Highlander no matter what the consequences are. I loved this, it's everything I could want in a historical romance book.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is my first book by Sabrina York but I will be going back to read the rest of the books in the series. This book does work well as a stand alone and it is delightful.
It honestly reminded of a Shakespearean comedy. There were issues to overcome but a lot of laughter and everyone gets married in the end. But there are kilts which makes everything better.

I really fell in love with this book. In terms of construction I really liked that It did not just focus on Hamish and Elizabeth but also Anna and Baron of Bower and even the rest of the St. Clair sisters. It worked out really well to have a single story line that co-mingled so many characters. It was full of laughter, love, scandal, evil smelly men and desire. Hamish quickly became one of my favourite people and the author made it seem like the reader was among friends. I do wish there was a bit more at the end, mostly because I did not want it to end but also because I think a little more would have made it magical.
September 14, 2017
I was pleasantly surprised with this read. It was engaging and emotional as I turned the pages. I laughed, I cried and wanted to go and smack a few of the characters to get them to go the way I thought they should.
This was almost 3 books in one. The way each character intertwined with the others made for a wonderful story line with no breaks. I really don't think this one could have been more than one as the characters were so close.
