I had the great opportunity to read PROMISED TO THE HIGHLANDER, written by Kate Robbins. As soon as, I started to read it, I got pulled into Fergus, Nessia and William’s story and kept on reading till the early hours in the morning! I got so captivated that I had to know what would happen next. It’s her second book in The Highlands Chiefs Series. I loved her hero Fergus MacKay, who was a Clan Chief and a leader of an army of men and her heroine Nessia, who was no ordinary young lady. Since the age of ten, she had learned everything her brothers did like fishing and bow hunting, she loved her freedom! But her world became threatened by a neighboring clan; so her father asks Fergus’s protection and helps to have her betrothed to his brother William. But the moment, Fergus and Nessia meet, sparks flare and ignites a beautiful passion between the two. It’s a mutual attraction, but she understands that it’s her duty to marry William. Again, we meet Fergus’s sister Freya. Ms. Robbins’s story is so refreshing because her heroine Nessia is not the traditional young girl we meet in novels, she is brave and will stop at nothing to protect the ones she loves. Again, she was very descriptive of the surroundings. The love scenes are very sensual and well written! The author nicely blended believable characters into her captivating Scottish romance. Let yourself get pulled into this Scottish story filled with love, action, treason and intrigue. PROMISED TO THE HIGHLANDER was fantastic from beginning to end. I can’t wait to read her next book in this series which will be Ronan’s story. Without reservation, I heartily recommend this fascinating book.
