HER HIGHLAND HERO follows Lady Isobel and Laird Marcus McEwan as they struggle to have their happily ever after, in spite of all the dastardly fiends trying to keep them apart. Happily for me, the bulk of the story happens after Marcus and Isobel have gotten together and start on a journey toward his home together. A lot of the conflict comes from them trying to dodge the miscellaneous men who want to use Isobel as a marriage bargaining tool for their own purposes. Those men greatly underestimate her.
There are certain components in HER HIGHLAND HERO that are staples of just about any book by Terry Spear -- the good guys are sweet, sexy and can handle a sword; the heroine is no pushover; and the action adds interest and is exciting but it never overbalances the romance. I also love that Isobel and Marcus discuss the dangers they face and make decisions together. There are some things that Isobel is physically unable to do because she was never trained as a warrior, but neither is she immature or a hindrance on the journey to Marcus's castle. He admires her determination and heartiness and doesn't talk down to her or patronize her.
Along with the sizzling romance, HER HIGHLAND HERO is full of treachery, conspiracies, and tons of bad guys to choose from. It's fun trying to guess who the masterminds are and how the puzzle pieces fit into place. It's nice seeing familiar faces from past books acting as helpers in Marcus and Isobel's journey. I can't wait to see what's in store for familiar characters like Gunnolf and new characters like Sir Travon, and the mysterious Dwyer.
HER HIGHLAND HERO is exactly the kind of highlander book fans have come to expect from Terry Spear -- full of heart- stopping action, sexy good guys, and strong women. I look forward to reading more books in this series!
Book Summary
Lady Isobel is a Norman laird's daughter, living near the Scots border where her father, Lord Pembroke, is trying to keep the peace. But her mother was a Highlander and the man Isobel loves most of all is Laird Marcus McEwan, who has been bringing news of her mother's people for years. But now Isobel's father wishes her wed to an English nobleman, who will carry on his title. Isobel will wed no other man but her heart's desire—and that is one braw Highlander from her mother's homeland.
Laird Marcus McEwan has loved the feisty lass forever. For years, Marcus has tried to convince Lord Pembroke to allow him to wed his daughter. But the Norman lord will not allow it. Then ambushes and murders make it too dangerous for Marcus to reach a peaceful resolution.
Nothing goes as planned and keeping the lass for his own is fraught with danger, as they try to determine who was behind the killings. Isobel and Marcus will do everything in their power to ensure they are together as they have always vowed they would be.
