I can easily say that Song of the Highlands is EXACTLY what I crave when reading a Scottish romance. This was one of those reads where the story line just keeps going and it never gets boring. There was ALWAYS something happening! There were also several other romances taking place with some of the secondary characters that added so much to my overall enjoyment of the read. There was also a LOT of action, just another thing that kept me glued to the pages. It also had some dark and angst filled moments that brought out many of my emotions while reading Song of the Highlands.ALL the characters were done exceedingly well, my favorite being the heroine Morgana Cambel . She had been through a terrible experience as a young girl, lost her memory of what happened and her ability to speak.  Even though this happened to her, she still found ways to make her thoughts and feeling be known. She was the type of character that put other people’s wants and needs before her own.I also really loved the hero Robert MacVie. He was an excellent Laird and tried his best to take care of his clan. He was a fierce warrior and an honorable man, and it did not take him long to fall totally in love with Morgana.There were several evil villains running around doing terrible things to Morgana and a few other characters. It took quite a while for all these men to get their due and I just wish they would have been dealt with more cruelly when they finally paid the price for their horrific deeds. They were truly wicked and evil to the core.The heat level was VERY HIGH, just the way I like my reads to be. There were MANY love scenes and they SCORCHED the pages. These scenes were tastefully done, very sensual, and left me all hot and bothered.There was one thing that I felt was overdone, there was A LOT of swooning going on. This is the only thing I felt did not work for me. I can understand a swoon here and a swoon there, especially on Morgana’s behalf, but I did find myself rolling my eyes when some of these swoons took place. Despite that, I’m still giving this book a 5 star rating, because quite frankly, everything else about this read was just THAT GOOD!In the end, everything worked out wonderfully. Robert and Morgana got their HEA and the story concluded nicely with an epilogue. Also, K.E. Saxon gives readers a HUGE SURPRISE! She added bonus material, a chapter that answered many questions about one of the secondary romances that happened during the book. I give this chapter its own 5 star rating, LOVED IT and thought it was an awesome edition.K.E. Saxon has easily become one of my favorite historical authors. I highly recommend Song of the Highlands to readers who love a STEAMY, action packed Scottish romance with an excellent story line and fantastic characters.
