Kristin Vayden's Historical romance, Knight of the Highlander, takes place in the Scottish Highlands. Kristin sets the stage in the prologue with our hero, Colin. The Scottish Highlanders were particularly difficult for the English Crown, to whom Colin was loyal. The Jacobite cause was beginning to rise. And therefore the English wanted a man who could infiltrate the clan and seamlessly blend in. Colin had no qualms with the espionage or this double life he would play. He just never expected he would fall in love!Kristin's characters are dynamic and full of life. One of my favorite aspects of her writing is that she doesn't write one-dimensional characters. As Colin puts himself in various situations (when he is cloaked as a Scots clan's man or shown as his `true' Englishman) you see him act differently and have doubts about himself and his situation. Arywnn, our heroine, the Chattan Laird's daughter, is shown as a dutiful, obedient daughter, a wild Highland lass, and a protective, brave woman. Her secondary characters are also very colorful and so we get a richly described scene where you can really picture everyone and how it all takes place.Knight of the Highlander is a sweet romance with a bit of a bite to it! It has action, danger, chemistry, true love, family loyalties and is just a wonderful read! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance, a strong heroine and a sexy man in a kilt!Complimentary copy provided by author for an honest review.
