Maya Banks, the New York Times bestselling author of romance and romantic suspense has captivated readers with her steamy Scottish historical novels, perfect for fans of Julie Garwood. In Never Love a Highlander, the youngest McCabe brother uses sword and seduction to save his clan—and seal his heart. Caelen McCabe’s young, reckless heart nearly destroyed his clan. Now, putting family loyalty … his clan. Now, putting family loyalty above all else, he steps up to marry his older brother’s jilted bride and salvage the uneasy alliance between two clans. While beautiful Rionna McDonald is a fit wife for any man, Caelen trusts no woman, especially not this sweet temptress who torments him with white-hot longing.
As the sacrificial lamb in her father’s power game, Rionna will do her duty but vows to protect her heart and her pride from humiliation. Despite everything, though, the heat in Caelen’s touch melts her defenses, and she craves the sensual delights of a husband who guards his emotions as fiercely as his clan. But when the ultimate battle for the McCabe legacy is upon them, Rionna’s true warrior spirit emerges. She will risk the wrath of her father, the fury of her enemies, and her life to prove to Caelen that his wife’s love is too precious to lose.

This was my first Maya Banks (whhaat!?) and it was pretty darned wonderful. I LOVED Caelen’s growth and how he learned from his mistakes – mistakes he made, by the way, with all good intentions toward protecting his wife and clan. He was a super-modern thinker for a historical guy married to an unconventional woman. I’m pretty sure this was book 3 …
This is the latest rabbit hole I’ve fallen down. There are three books in this series, each one more dramatic than the last. I really love the way she sets up each book along the way, so you just HAVE to read the next one. Well done, Ms. Banks. Now I’m going to hide my ereader so I can get some work done. 🙂
Audiobook: Narrator – Kristen Potter
I absolutely HATE that this series is over an not only because I’ll miss these characters, but because I’ll miss this narrator’s superb performance. She doesn’t just read the story and change her voice a bit here and there, she pulls you into it with her incredible diversity of voices and characters. None …
Loved it.
Great story and a very strong heroine.
Really good story with likable characters. However I won’t buy more from this author because the sex scenes are too graphic for my taste. She is compared to Julie Garwood whom I love – but Julie more alludes rather than describes those scenes.
I LOVED this book! My favorite by this author! It had all your classic historical romance novel features but then surprised us with a heroine! Finally the lass rescues the warrior.
Another great book and a great ending to the series.
Caelen and Rionna had a rough start to their marriage but they eventually worked things out. They finally defeat the enemy and can put the past behind them. I really loved Rionna. She was strong in her beliefs, she fought for herself, and never gave up her sword.
Overall, I really loved the …
Kept my interest. Love the Highlander series of old time love. Great series will keep you reading
Loved it, I have yet to read anything written by Maya Banks that isn’t impossible to put down till you get to the end!
I love erotic stories the hotter the better and this author brings it all to the books she writes everytime!
this is worth the love of reading nice book
Of the trilogy, Never Love a Highlander is far and away my absolute favorite. The dynamics between characters, and the characters themselves are just exceedingly well-written. I feel like if these were real people, I would be so excited to spend time among them.
First you have Caelen and Rionna. Rionna is the daughter of the chieftan of the …
I loved all the books in the trilogy but this was my FAVORITE! It’s always the super gruff alpha types that get me. Such a fantastic story and I was hooked on every word.
