About the author
Iona McDuff
48 books28 followersIona McDuff is the international best-selling author of over a dozen Scottish historical romance books, always with a dash of action and adventure added!
Iona grew up on the rugged west coast of Scotland, with a love of writing since childhood. She is the author of The Stranger of Skamorr trilogy, the 13-book MacDouglas Highlander thriller romance saga, The Heathen's Bride trilogy, and Beyond the Wall: Enduring Love Across Distant Borders, a Celtic-Roman romance.
Her stories are set in the Highlands and Lowlands that she knows and loves so well, and feature tough Scottish heroines and the even tougher men whose hearts they have captured.
When not writing, she is immersed in her other passions: taking long walks on her windswept west coast beach where she best draws inspiration for her next book, bicycling on quiet country roads, metal detecting (still hoping to find that elusive Viking hoard!), researching deep into her Scottish ancestry, and wishing she'd paid more attention to Latin lessons at school.
Her goals in life are to spend as much time as possible with her adult children, to write as long as she can, and to never, ever put the milk first in tea.

A.very interesting continuation of the story with Isabel deeply ashamed and tormented as she was very religious . She wanted to take serious steps to end this situation by doing the unthinkable. Meanwhile Lachlan returns back and keeps trying to seduce Maggie. She is suspicious of his kindness to her. A very exciting read. I recommend this book to other readers .

Lachlan comes home for his brother's wedding. Isobella goes to her parents to be far from him.
Maggie realises that Lachlan will not seduce her and finally she goes to him.
The story becomes more complex ....... read on to see how both Isobella and Maggie fair.
Another great tale in the McDouglas Highlander series.

The Taking
Some questions are answered from The Rogue Male and we find out more about Lachlan. We also find an unexpected connection between Isabella and Lachlan.
This book is 7 chapters and is a very quick read. The characters are developing and the story line is becoming clearer.

This is an excellent historical romance with riveting characters that are well developed. The storyline is very engaging and I read it from start to finish straight through. Now, I’m off to read book 3 in this series.
