Taming the Highlander is a breathtaking story. Within the first few pages, I was entranced. Siusan, daughter of the laird of Clan Gunn, is set upon by bandits. Although she fights she cannot gain her freedom from their horrible clutches. Just as they are about to rape her, a powerful man rides into rescue her. “The man who dismounted had wild ginger-red hair, a full beard, and the sapphire blue eyes that flashed danger. He wore a kilt and a sleeveless leather jerkin over the white open necked shirt. Behind him, a powerful white stallion.” Siusan is in awe of her rescuer. But she is betrothed to another man, a betrothal that cannot be broken without bloodshed.

I really enjoyed the intrigue in this book. It is very fast paced and I enjoyed how the characters developed. There are only a few sex scenes in it. I felt drawn into the Highland clans fight as they seek to win over a common enemy. I really enjoyed this book.
