Highlander’s Alluring Prisoner

by Emilia C. Dunbar

A prisoner was able to chain the Laird’s heart.After a devastating battle between two rival clans, Laird Evander Lothian finds a poor, young woman left behind and injured. She appears to be a slave or a servant that someone forgot about or did not bother to bringing home after the war. Even in this terrible condition, she is the most attractive woman he has ever seen, and Evander’s heart commands him to approach her.To his great dismay, the Laird finds out that the girl is English. The rival clan had captured Elizabeth Gladstone, as her name is, and if Evander does not help her, her fate will be death… Displaying great generosity, he offers to send her home, but Elizabeth begs him to help her stay in Scotland as her life in England was even worse than the current nightmare.Unable to imagine a fate worse than the one she suffers now, the Laird promises to the mysterious and tormented girl to talk to the clan’s elders about her. After a very short talk, Evander realizes that there is no place for her in the Highlands as no one will trust an Englishwoman. The frightening realization comes as suddenly as a clap of thunder to his mind; the only way for her to survive is to become his wife...However, in the next council meeting with the clan’s elders, it is decided that the best way to secure peace is for Laird Evander and a woman of importance from the enemy clan to marry. The Laird can not forget the English prisoner who has captured his heart and mind, but his clan needs peace. And he can only marry one woman.Unbeknownst to Evander, the marriage to the enemy clan aims to bring the exact opposite of peace, and his instinct against this union might have been right. Meanwhile, Elisabeth is surrounded by hostility and suspicion. With her only ally unable to help her, she will have to find her place quickly as it seems that the only thing she has been able to make in Scotland so far is new enemies.

All in all, it was ok. I expected more drama, or betrayal maybe but it was more or less steady at the level of mild action. And I wouldn't call it steamy if I were reading it in a sauna, there were only a couple of sex scenes and they were very censored, I'd say. No naughty words, not even a proper description which I suppose was to fit the time and the innocence? of it. Because it was. There was, of course, a HEA. But all the time I was reading, I kept waiting for the action to really take. What I like most about historical romances is when they're in the old-time but still ahead of its time. When the traditions and superstitions, the boundaries are pushed. And, of course, when there's adventure and mystery, action, drama, and truly steamy romance which this book lacked.

What I liked most here is the Scottish 'accent' (in written form). Whenever there's Scotland and men in a kilt in historical romances, I need to read it.

I really enjoyed this story, but had some unanswered questions. Why was Elizabeth kidnapped and what was the reason for the fighting between the two clans? All in all this was an entertaining story with a lot of suspense and entertaining characters.

I enjoyed the story very much! Somebooks drag on and on but this one was short and to the point! I do not like books that drag on!
