I really enjoy a good historical romance and mix that with a little magic then definitely even better. This is the first time reading this author for me, the cover and title drew me first-highlanders being ones that have a special place in my heart love to read them. Once I begin I was soon swept away to the time period with a strapping highlander Searc who has been hiding a secret from his family but thanks to circumstances it is brought out front and center. Thinking they will not accept him as he is demon he thinks (big lug) he goes off only to rescue Elena who also has her own baggage and secrets. Once these two are paired together you are swept even further away on a grand adventure filled with romance and magic that has a bite from a special highlander. The secret Elena carries is intriguing to say the least since when I was in high school was a avid reader of biographies with several of the ones mentioned in this novel being included. So to have this author take pieces from that time period and turn it into this novel with a personal touch using Elena was quite the seal breaker for me also. The author spins the tale so well sinking you deeper and deeper into this with the journey they are on,building relationship facing the dangers of the time with a sicko murder also on the loose. The author writes this so well that my heart went out to Elena rooting for her all the way to melt that Searc who had the biggest complex about himself wanting that all out happy ending for them. Thanks to the highland inbred in them of take care of the ones they love their exploits brings things around faster then they would of thought haha. Loved that Marie also even though a royal she had great character the author gave her. Enjoyable way how this author brings it all together and the head of it all is conquered toward the end. Love actually is the winner in this highland style which is also romance with fire. Once I came back to this time period with the finish felt like a cat who ate all the cream.
