Lady Kristina MacQueen suffered devastating injuries at the hands of a ruthless Highland chief, Blackburn MacCromar. Two years later, he kidnaps her for a journey across the chilly, windblown Scottish Highlands to flush out her sister, Anna—the woman Blackburn forced to wed him. Red Holme, Blackburn's second-in-command, is equally brutal and determined to possess Kristina.

A Highland warrior and future chief, Colin Cameron has no intention of becoming entangled in the whims of another highborn lady. However, upon witnessing Lady Kristina being held hostage by the enemy, a knife to her throat, he resolves to rescue her and bring her to safety. When Red Holme sees Colin Cameron, he recognizes his enemy from a decade earlier and craves revenge even more than he lusts for the lady. But he is determined to have both.

Colin is the most charismatic and heroic man Kristina has ever met, and he awakens her woman's instincts. He might be her only chance to experience a brief moment of passion. Even so, she holds no illusions about marriage, for no worthy man will find her blindness and scars appealing, or see them as beneficial traits in a wife. But she can't see how he looks at her. Though Colin has sworn to never fall in love again, he cannot defend his heart against the strong, spirited and lovely lass who is like none other he has ever met.

Highlander Entangled is book nine in the Highland Adventure by Vonda Sinclair.  In this book, Lady Kristina MacQueen is rendered blind and scarred when an evil Highland chief named Blackburn attacks her. Two years later the blackguard kidnaps her in order to bait Kristina’s sister Anna, who was forced to wed Blackburn. When Lady Kristina is held at dagger point, the handsome future chief of the Cameron clan Colin Cameron moves to rescue her.

Sinclair does a masterful job of telling this story from each character’s point of view. Since Kristina is blind, Sinclair gives details of scents and sounds and textures. “His arms, holding her securely, felt iron-hard and strong. When she turned her face toward him, his pleasant, masculine scent took over, far more appealing than the scent of pine needles. He smelled of some sort of spicy masculine soap.”

I enjoyed Highlander Entangled. This was my first book to read by Vonda Sinclair. I definitely want to read the Highland Adventure Series now. I highly recommend it.
