Deceitful Lassies #2
Taken by her Highland Enemy
She was clothed in strength and dignity, even if she feared the future…
Isabelle Cutler is playing a most dangerous game. Dressed up as a boy, she is secretly giving information to a Highlander with the hopes of helping the oppressed Scottish people. Isabelle's motivation is not only roused by her high ideals, but by her forbidden desire for the strong warrior.
Eamon Wilson was running away from his guilty consciousness his whole life, but now he needs to stop. To atone for his past sins, he informs his brother, the famed "Wanderer," of a pending threat by the English Lord Cutler.
Faced with his brother's disbelief, Eamon's only ally to convince him is a young boy, his informer. When the two Highlanders team up to take down the threat, they end up with a dangerous mission; abduct Cutler's daughter.
Once Eamon faces Isabelle, his sense of familiarity drives him to claim a kiss. Until he remembers that she is a Sassenach, an enemy.
Now Isabelle must protect her identity while controlling her passion for the man who will kill her if he finds out the truth…
He was running from his past; she was fighting for her future…

Definitely a must read.

"Ms. Kendrick has a way of drawing you into the scenery of her stories. I am always entranced by her characters.
Love Isabelle, so smart, so quick witted. I love that she challenges the men around her. Will she win Eamon's heart? A heart he feels is not worthy of being owned; not worthy of love?
Why did he leave his clan all those years ago? If he wins the Sasennach, will they continue traveling which has been Eamon's life for so many years? Or, join The Wanderer and The Scots?
Really enjoyed my time with this story!"

I liked this book as all of Kenna's books, but the heroine was a little too outspoken. Even though the reader knew she had orchestrated her own kidnap, the hero did not and although he didn't want to kidnap her, he would never have allowed her to boss him around as she did. For one thing, his men would lose all respect for him. This was a bit unrealistic but I nevertheless enjoyed the book and would recommend it to a friend. Not my favourite of Kenna's, but worth a read and has a delightful ending.

English lass and highland warrior
Beginning a little slow but then pace faster. English officer's daughter on side of Scots because her father is so cruel. What will happen when she befriends a Scottish man? Will they have a chance for romance. Will they live when her Dad wants her Scottish friends dead? There are several love scenes. Received this book free in exchange for my review.

Action and drama until the end
What I enjoyed most about this story was the female lead, Isabelle, isn’t your typical damsel-in-distress. She actually got her hands dirty and risked it all by actually having the gumption to change her situation while saving the Scots. It was an amazing adventure!

A very good action, historic romance!
I enjoy good action novels with intelligent women and men. These characters were wonderful. As a father I am sorry her father was so evil. It happens all to often, but I feel for a child who is cheated in life. Good story, thank you, Jack.
