Though, the lady he’s been tasked to protect has been accused of a heinous crime, Gabriel has no fear of her. In fact, he’s a little irritated at the prospect … irritated at the prospect of delivering her to her kin. But this hardened, cold warrior just may find his heart melting, for the hellion brings out a passionate side he’d thought long buried.

Lady Brenna has had more than her share of hardships and when freedom looks to be on the brink of her horizon, she’s not about to let some moody Highlander take it all away. She’ll stop at nothing to keep her children safe—and to guard her heart—even though the warrior’s heated kiss threatens to change every vow she’s ever made and every belief about love she’s ever known.

This was an amazing read. Brenna is a warrior mother and you cannot help but fall in love with her. Wishing upon every page that she gets what she deserves and everything she desires.
Gabriel is a rock, and gah! Every womans dream.
If you want a book that makes you yearn for a happy ending, this is it. Not including the passion and bravery wrapped within Its pages.
I tell you now that this book will make you wish that it had a prolonged extra just about the future of the charcters….wink rink author I would mind a Conquered by the Highlander 1.5……lol
Conquered By The Highlander is a fantastic historical romance by Eliza Knight. Ms. Knight has delivered a book that is well-written and kept this reader glued to the Kindle from page one till the end. The characters in this story are outstanding and my favorite part of the book. Gabriel, as a favor, rescues Brenna and her children from her brother-in-law. Brenna and Gabriel’s story is loaded with action, drama, spice and humor. I loved every page of this book and can’t wait to read my next book by Eliza Knight. Conquered By The Highlander is book 1 of the Conquered Bride Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
Great Historical Romance! This story has substance and is a fast-paced and dramatic read. Steamy passion and wonderful characters! Well done!
This story was a great introduction to an entire series – great reading! I endorse it and the author heartily!

This is my first experience with Eliza Knight. It definitely won’t be my last. I binged the first 3 books of the Conquered Bride series in just a few days. My understanding is that this is a spin-off from Knight’s Stolen Bride series, however I didn’t feel I was missing anything by jumping in here.
It’s important to note that this involves some pretty heavy subject matter. While most happen in the past and are reflected upon or revealed during conversation – topics include kidnappings, sexual assault of a child, and long-term mental and physical abuse.
This is a slow burn in that, while there’s attraction, it takes almost the entire book for Gabriel and Brenna to come together as a couple, emotionally and physically. Gabriel is nursing a broken heart, for over ten years. Brenna is coming out of an abusive marriage, one she’s suspecting of ending through murder, and her greatest priority is her children. I liked the way Gabriel came around, sort of mentally kicking & screaming though, and especially his connection and care for Brenna’s children. While I was tempted to be annoyed with Brenna’s stubbornness, it’s hard not to be impressed with her maternal tenacity given that she’s been under someone’s despotic rule since she was 12.
I wish the ending held a little more substance to reinforce this as an HEA versus an HFN, but it was overall an enjoyable listen. I immediately dove into Seduced by the Laird.
I loved Antony Ferguson’s narration. It was a little interesting that his personal British accent was used for all the main parts and then he used a Scottish accent for all the dialogue. Honestly though, I think it actually made it easier to keep everyone’s conversations straight. Ferguson’s voices and inflections were perfect. He also has a fantastic voice for women & children.
Basically same format as all ‘hit Sots romance’
