This is a spectacular read and recently released book two in (The Highland Chief Series)called *Promised to the Highlander* by Kate Robbins who is a truly gifted author in my opinion.This story is somewhat of a triangle. It starts off as there is feuding between clan's and for her own protection the heroine of this book Nessia Stephenson as her father Thomas and Laird Fergus Mackay  the hero of this book, arranges a marriage between her and his younger brother William. As the couple who had both opposed this type of union as this was arranged sight unseen which is not unusual in an arranged marriage of this time period.The first time they all meet Fergus feels as he has been kicked in the gut as the vision in his dreams has just become a reality! One big problem is that she is going to marry his brother William and not him.The other problem is Nessia only has eyes for her betroth's elder brother Fergus as well. So what a tangle we weave right from the beginning of this book! Fergus and Nessia are not aware what the other feels and yet William is quite aware, but thinks in time Nessia will learn to love him eventually. William  is patient as he knows her true value and feels that she is worth the wait. Of course both Nessia and Fergus love William and both are honorable and will do their duty as neither would ever betray him either. Fergus does which is the only honorable thing he can, which is to leave the keep to get over his guilt and  feelings for his brothers wife. Plus he needs to deal with uglyClan business with problems and enemies that always seem to be at his doorstep.This book at times will squeeze your heart something fierce in some of the more tragic moments and I did shed quite a few tears during this read. Of course when I read a book that affects me to that level I know I am reading a special and spectacular book, that will stay with me long after I have finished the book. I simply couldn't put this book down! Yes, it was that wonderful and I highly recommend you read this fabulous book!This book blew my socks off there is so much action, suspense, mystery, betrayal , unrequited love and of course love and what sacrifices honorable people will make not to betray the ones they love. A captivating spectacular story does not even begin to cover it. Also there is a story about William and Fergus sixteen year old sister Freya, and the mistakes she makes by falling in love with her bothers arch enemies son Ronan Sutherland.  Freya MacKay and Ronan Sutherland will be the main characters in Ms. Robbins next book "Enemy of The Highlander", book three in The Highland Chef Series. I can't wait to read it!Also check out "Bound to the Highlander" book one of The Highland Chief series. The book that started this fabulous series. You can read all the books as stand alone or in series order, a personal reader choice.Kate Robbins is a truly gifted author and if you love Scottish historical romance like me you don't want to miss this fabulous book! I recommend you read the entire series as Ms. Robbins books are truly a joy to read!
