This Novella, Highlander's Captive was wonderful and I love how it explains the ongoing clan feud between The MacLeods and The MacDonald's and the connection to Dunvegan Castle. I personally feel the reader should know and understand the background for future full length novels in this series, so this is an excellent introduction.This story is about visiting  and adventuring cousin,the beautiful Julia MacLeod. Julia, who wants a taste of freedom while visiting as her overprotective and loving Father leaves her in their care. Julia wants a taste of freedom feeling it's one of the few chances she will get, so without chaperone or guard she and cousin Margaret discover a secret passageway of many twists and turns and go exploring. The problem is Julia being set on adventure and careless of the dangers slips and falls into the deep icy cold ocean many many feet below.The hero is this story is braw highlander Ivor MacDonald, whom set on a scouting mission to find a way or weakness to break into the defenses and a way into Dunvegan Castle. Then he suddenly watches the lassie fall in the freezing water with and just as Julia is about to drown he saves her. Now Ivor sees this as a gift after learning who's she is thinks is now the bargaining chip he needs.Yet as he sets her in his boat they both yet to realize this is the ride to change both of their lives and destinies and fate.Highlander's Captive was an excellent novella as you could feel the attraction and sparks between Julia and Ivor it positively sizzles off the pages. Bravo Joanne Wadswoth well done indeed, an excellent read!A must read and it will give you a clearer view before you read her full length time travel novel "Highlander's Castle book one of Highland Heat series which I have also already read and reviewed and given ( five stars).I really loved this novella as I did Highlanders Castle as well and highly recommend you read both.I look forward to future books  in the (Highland Heat) series by author, Joanne Wadsworth as her books are always a delight to read!
