Book 1 - Heart Of A Highlander
Duty-bound to seek revenge Broderick MacConnaway, knows that marriage into the Lochlann family allows him to fulfill his vengeance.

Book 2 - The Highlander’s Challenge
How can jealousy and betrayal really spoil the life of a rich young noblewoman? Alina Du Mas seems to have everything she could desire in the wild and untamed Scottish Highlands—she is loved by most, breathtakingly beautiful, and high-born. However, the man she loves, though he is the son of a thane and has already saved her life, is not good enough to suit her cruel uncle. It’s up to Alina, her brother and sister-in-law, and wise old Aunt Aili to save the day…guided by her visions of a dark future that she must avoid at all costs.

Should Alina trust the wisdom of her uncle when it seems he’s determined to kill the man she loves—or trust her visions instead?

Can the beautiful seer trust her glimpses into such a dark future when love is clouding her judgment?

Book 3 - The Highland Hero
Should a brave and bold Highland warrior take a beautiful lass as his bride when he discovers her terrible secret? Blaine McNeil has loved Chrissie Connolly for much longer than he’d care to admit, but only allows his feelings to show when he makes a daring rescue of the captive maiden. The lass has been hurt, though he doesn’t know the extent of her injuries until after they are wed…and he discovers that she’s with the child. What should be done now—should the babe be destroyed or allowed a chance to live? What if it belongs to his enemy instead of the fruit of their newfound love?

Does Blaine have what it takes to love and support his injured wife through her darkest hours—or has he discovered the limit of his endurance at last?

Have his years on the battlefield prepared him for the toughest battle he will ever face?

This was the first books I have read by Emilia Ferguson, and will not be the last.
The three stories are about two brother's, The oldest is Broderick MacConnoway, son of the Thane of
Dunkeld. Who needs to form an alliance with the family of Lochlann in order to fulfill his vengeance on the clan who killed his first wife. The only way to do this is marriage to the great niece of Brien, Earl of Lochlann. In a time when women had no say what happened to them, Amabel du Mas wants nothing to do with the stranger her uncle has chosen. Till they meet for the first time.
Now with the nasty uncle using him for this own problems, handling his vengeance and having a new wife. Life is full of problems..Then his 2nd wife is captured and everything changes for both of them.

Book Two is about Broderick's brother, Duncan MacConnoway , who being the 2nd son is use to getting his own way. After one glance at Amabel's sister Aina and Duncan knows he want to marry
her. After getting to know each other helping Broderick and Amabel all they need is her uncle's
approval. As he is a nasty old guy he tell's them no. Alina will need to use her gift to help Duncan
or risk losing the love of her life forever. Read on to see what happens next.

Book Three

This is the hardest to read, and the best at the same time.
Chrissie the cousin to both Amabel and Aina has always been fun loving and
happy. As she is the last girl for her uncle to marry off she is able to pick her husband somewhat.
There is Heath Fraser older and has always been a good friend.
or the persistent Blaine, master at arms to her uncle and unsuitable to marry a Lady.
Blaine has been in love with Chrissie for years.
Chrissie is taken captive and robbed of her youth forever. Blaine rescues her and they are married. But there are many unseen events that neither forsee. Can both of them find love enough to
over come the secrets that are coming and may destroy their young love and live before it even
gets started?
Read on to find out, all three stories can be read by it's self , but much better to read in order.
You will love, laugh, cry and really hate the uncle !

Heart of a Highlander - What a fantastic trip back to Scotland. You could imagine yourself there with these hot Scottish men and the beautiful women who fall in love with them out in the Scottish countryside and forests. The story takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride - vengeance at the cost of all else, heartbreaking loss, surprising newfound love, fighting the wrong enemy, discovering what matters the most, and realizing just how strong you are when you think you can't take one more step. A story finding your happily every after when you thought it was never possible. I couldn't put this book down once I started.

The Highlander’s Challenge -
Review This story brings us back to Scotland to visit with everyone from the first story, Heart of a Highlander. This time around, we witness the Earl of Lochlann demand the completion of three tasks by Duncan MacConnoway in order to wed the Earl's niece Alina du Mas. Duncan will do anything to be able to claim Alina as his for all time but can he finish these crazy tasks? Alina fears that it's impossible because she can see things others cannot and she sees something dark and foreboding. Obstacles appear in the way of these two lovebirds at every turn in this wonderful story. Will they get their happily ever after?

The Highland Hero - Love this series! In this book we get to read more about Chrissie, Blaine and Heath. All are growing up and beginning to feel feelings more than friendship. Blaine has loved Chrissie for mostly the entire time he has been at the Lochlann castle. Health, who her uncle basically adopted into the family is the one that Chrissie always crushed over. Life has a funny way of changing your mind and events unfold that open Chrissie's eyes anew to Blaine. She is confused and unsure of how to know who to love. A captivating story line that throws in kidnapping, a brewing war, love, family, friendship, action and twists and turns to keep you reading. All the previous characters are back as well, so we can see how their lives have progressed so far.

I was gifted an e-book and am voluntarily posting a review.

I got all the books as they came out and have read them all, therefore I am qualified to leave a review.

Heart of a Highlander
I really enjoyed this story. A story of love, loss, danger, struggles within one's heart and mind. Who can you believe? Who can you trust? Are things always the way you see them? Or are you misreading or misjudging? Come along with Broderick and Amabel on this whirlwind adventure and find out the answers to these questions and more.

The Highlander's Challenge
Duncan and Alina want to marry. They need Uncle Brien's permission. Brien gives Duncan 3 tasks to complete before he will allow the marriage. These tasks are mysterious and seem impossible. Will Duncan be able to complete them? Alina finds herself in a bad situation. Will she be able to escape? Get a copy of this book and come along on this roller coaster ride and find out the answers. It is fun to go to medieval Scotland and hang out with the Highlanders. I recommend these books. They are stand alone books but you will learn more about the characters if you read in sequence.

The Highland Hero
Great story!! This is the third book in the series. Each book can be read as a stand alone but think that you have a better reading experience if you read them in order. I love all three of the books. Emilia can make you feel like you are right there witnessing it all. There is adventure, suspense, romance and more. Love prevails through it all. Characters are well devolped. Well written and thought out. The story flows smoothly. Get a copy and get on the roller coaster. You will love the ride.

Will things turn out well for him in the end? “BOOK 2 - THE HIGHLANDER’S CHALLENGE” is a story about how jealousy and betrayal attempt to upset the life of a rich young noblewoman when the man she loves, despite his nobility and courage, is not good enough according to her cruel uncle.

Chronicles of a Highlander (3 box set)
Heart of a Highlander, The Highlander’s Challenge, The Highland Hero
This box set is the first three books of the Heart of a Highlander series of Emilia Ferguson and proves that love can bring about challenges and excitement. In these three books you a family who is loyal and true to their heritage and who will fight against anyone or thing that comes between them and who they love. In the Heart of a Highlander we find bitterness, an arranged marriage, power and greed. Learn how love and family commitment can overcome evil? The Highlander’s Challenge is full of adventure and denial. We see two lovers who want to wed but the ladies uncle (who is her guardian) forbids it until the man completes three challenges. Determination to win and the help of the ladies family wins. The Highland Hero we find that loving someone who it has been ‘understood’ would marry someone else can cause some adventure and surprised, of course, with love and loyalty.
These three books start us on an adventure with one of the families of highlanders who believe in loyalty, family and above all, love.

Enjoyable Highland Romance Box Set. I read these books individually and am pleased to see this box set. The main characters in these stories all have some form of vulnerability which make them more likable and realistic. The books can all be read as standalone stories but having them in this box set allows the reader to enjoy the flow on of the family connections. The action scenes are wonderfully written and make you feel that you are there. I recommend this set to lovers of Highland Romance.

Chronicles of a Highlander

I totally love Knights and Highlanders. I love their honor, virtue and loyalty to everyone, especially their families. These books follow three cousins who have only each other and the uncle with whom they live. They are used by their scheming uncle's advancement. There is mystery, heartaches and love. All of the emotion makes you feel as if you are there with them. I recommend this book.

Family

Three cousins and sisters are wards of their Uncle who is ambitious and wants to marry them to further his holdings. He sets hard tasks for the the men that court them. True love has a way of overcoming objections. Well written with history and strong characters. The set of 3 follows the girls and family through trials and love.

I lliked all the stories in the book but I think my favorite was Highland Hero because when Chrissie was assaulted, she was able to finally work her way through it. I'm happy to see that despite his doubts, Blaine stood by her. But, I do feel she was a bit immature the way she treated Blaine in the beginning and came across as being fickle.

Great Read

This series was very enjoyable. The relationships between the women relatives was very close. Through all the twists and turns and losses love always prevails. The men were what you would expect from hardy highlanders, strong, handsome and great husbands. I think this series is good for High School through adults.

This was great. I'd always had a hard time keeping this family straight. Having the three books together and in order was a great help. It was so hard to put this down and actually get some work done. Very enjoyable.
