Highlander's Bride is the first book of Deborah Gafford's Heart of the Highlander Series.What an amazing read! I have had Ms. Gafford in my "To Be Read" pile for months, and I was not disappointed.  As an avid reader of Scottish Romances, I'm continually on the hunt for new authors in this genre. It is very apparent to me that this author has a passion for Scotland, and her history.  You could see if from the very first page of the book, through her detailed attention to history and her incredible depictions of the country had images of the highlands jumping off the pages as I read.I didn't realize until the end of the story, that Alexander MacGregor was inspired by cover model, Jimmy Thomas....and I can so see it! Sexy, dangerous and ferociously protective of what belongs to him.  He was the complete package when it comes to alpha males.  I love my alphas!Katherine's character was perfection. I love that, though she was a woman in the 16th century, she had enough backbone to fight for what was hers.  Having Katherine smack her adversary was amazing, as I felt like I might jump into the book and do it myself.There were unexpected turns and twist throughout the entire read, and it was due to Ms. Gafford's amazing ability to weave a story together, and kept this reader turning the pages into the wee hours of the night. If you love historical romances and Scotland, then you don't want to miss out on this read!  Fantastic!I received a copy of this book from the author, for the purposes of an honest review.
