Review: Cute Short Story, Not a Prequel

As far as I could tell, contrary to some reviews, this was not a prequel to MacLean's Highlander trilogy, except that it involves a MacLean from the Island of Mull. Alexander MacLean is a Highland warrior fighting for Scotland's freedom when he meets Elizabeth Curtis, a young Englishwoman, on the battlefield wearing the uniform of an English soldier. When he realizes the opponent he has knocked out is a woman, he does the honorable thing and takes her to her uncle. Along the way, they fall in love. That's pretty much it. It is well told but not necessary for the Highlander series by MacLean.
