Title: The Wrong Highlander
Series: Highland Brides #7
Author: Lynsay Sands
Genre: Historical Romance
A laird’s daughter kidnaps a Highlander—and loses her heart… in New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands’ new historical romance…
Lady Evina Maclean has heard much about Rory Buchanan’s skill as a healer. What she hasn’t heard is how good the brawny Highlander looks bathing in a waterfall. But Evina can’t afford the distraction, for her ailing father urgently needs care. Only when she’s rendered Buchanan unconscious and dragged him back to her family’s castle does the truth emerge—it’s not Rory she’s kidnapped but his brother Conran.
Other ladies try to ensnare Conran with flattery. Evina hits him over the head with the hilt of her sword to save her kin—and Conran likes the spirited redhead all the more for it. He’s learned enough from his brother to heal Evina’s father, but there are other dangers swirling around the Maclean clan. And while the beautiful, independent lady has sworn not to marry, this wrong Highlander may be just the right man for her.
Thoughts: First I have to say that I LOVE this cover especially as it’s a part of the story.
Lynsay Sands is one of my go to authors and I have to say that this series has become one of my all-time favorite highlanders series.
Full disclosure I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book as the last one was sort of meh for me. Then again I felt that way about a lot of books in the last couple of years. So reading this story with a twist on the usual medieval kidnap story line, was breath of fresh air.
Conran has been the brother that is in every one of the books playing sidekick to his brothers in whatever they are doing. His inner musings on this topic are fantastic. So seeing him get his own story, and one where the heroine thinks he’s his brother for the first half of the book is hilarious.
Evina is a heroine much like the other ones in this series, full of grit, stubbornness and determination. She has a goal and nothing and no one will stop her.
What makes this such a fun book is all of the misunderstandings and miscommunications that happen. All of which leads to book that kept me turning the page, waiting to see what was going to happen next.
If you love highlander stories and this series you won’t be disappointed in this one.
