Lies, And More Lies Make This Story Very Intriguing.
Wow, so much turmoil from the lies that are told in this story.
A very intriguing beginning along with a mystery to solve that takes us on a romance whirlwind with David and Anna. They deal with a betrayal, forced marriage, slave captives, escapes, steamy romance and more. To thrilling to set this story down. I had an OMG moment more than once. Terrific tense ending along with a beautiful romantic wedding.
A favorite line in the book was : He Was Her Highland Bliss
This is my 16th story by this author and I really enjoy this series. I have not read them in order so is a stand alone, but I urge you to read the series.
I can’t believe all that was thrown at this couple so you really get your monies worth. At times, I felt they would never get their HEA, but they do and it is anything by smooth. Many kidnappings and twists had me continuing to read til the end.
I must admit when author’s have so much going on in a story, you sometimes don’t feel a connection or romance. But, I did with this story. Their love and passion come out in spades and you feel it all.
There is lovemaking, heat level 4 out of 5 and I didn’t find it vulgar or erotic, and only described I believe twice.
There are many villains that you think you know where the story is heading, but nope she throws us a curve. There are many twists, surprises and suspense that will keep you entertained.
I loved catching up with the father’s and their children (Band of Cousins), what a clever and unique story line.
No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, romance and spice. I’ve read the story that follows this HIGHLAND RETRIBUTION awhile ago and gave it a 5 star review. I am going to re-read it because I don’t want to leave this family. (ljb)

Highland Abduction by Keira Montclair
Band of Cousins Series Book Two
David Drummond was set to marry the lass he was in love with. And then everything changed. Something happened and he wasn’t getting answers. And something wasn’t right at MacGruder Castle. Good thing he has his Band of Cousins to help him get the answers…and the girl he loves.
Anna MacGruder didn’t know what was happening in her home. She’d always been special to her father…until now. He’d told David and her they could get married, and now he seemed to be against it. Against her. She really hated how a daughter—a female—had no say in her own life.
Another page-turning story in this newest series. The younger Grant/Ramsay/Drummond cousins have banded together to work for the Crown to finish the job of finding the men who are stealing are buying lassies and selling them. And, they are there for each other as well.

This is the second book in The Band of Cousins Series, and it was as good as expected. It has you turning the page right from page 1. It is full of mystery and adventure and action. The characters where well written and can be easily related to. I enjoy the fact that all of Ms Montclair books have characters you get to know from other stories and look forward to seeing in the future. Although this book doesn’t put the cousins any further in their mission, it is included and continues to intrigue you and have you looking forward to the next book. Although there is an underlying story through these books, it can be read as a stand alone. Well worth the read again. I received this book as an ARC.
