She lost her faith in men. He restores it. Gregor Ramsay has never seen himself as a hero, but when the lass he fancies falls into the clutches of the Channel of Dubh, he’ll do anything he can to save her. Linet Baird will not be sold across the sea on his watch. Together with his cousin Connor, he follows Linet’s trail to Edinburgh, where it’s rumored they’ll find one of the Channel of Dubh’s … Dubh’s final headquarters. There’s only one problem: Linet claims she doesn’t wish to be saved.
Although Linet didn’t ask to be kidnapped from Ramsay land, she’s grateful it happened. The dark secret she left behind was destroying her. Even so, it quickly becomes apparent that her protector Sela has limited power to help her. Just like her, Sela is in the grips of a larger organization, one controlled by cruel, capricious men who lack any form of conscience. When Gregor Ramsay offers to save her, she’s tempted to trust the lad she once fancied, but to do so, she will need to face the trauma of her past.

With every book I find that each story is better than before. I have KU and can read these stories for free but I know I will want to read them again and again, so I purchased them all. All three series. I am ready for Connor’s story!
What a wonderful short story. As usual it was well written and flowed beautifully. It was lovely to read LInet and Gregor’s story. Having seen then in past stories it was lovely to see then coming together. Linet is strong and brave and Gregor, tender and understanding. I also enjoyed Thor and Nari and hope we see their stories in the future. I especially enjoyed this book because it was a short quick read. There was some mild sex and as usual this reviewer skipped it and it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the book. Now we wait to hear Sels’ story and how Connon will rescue her. I received this as an ARC and was a pleasure to review.
The cousins are routing out a band of human traffickers who prey upon the areas of Scotland and England that their families call home. Yet, another cousin has met the woman of his dreams only to have her go with one of the local bosses of the group of human smugglers.
Highland Devotion by Keira Montclair
Band of Cousins Series Book Seven
Gregor Ramsay and his cousin Connor are heading back to Edinburgh. They are getting closer to closing down the Channel, but for these two…there is more. Gregor is finding it’s important to find Linet and bring her home. Meanwhile, Connor believes there is more to the Ice Queen than meets the eye.
Linet Baird had her reasons for not returning to Clan Ramsey, but now that things are changing…second thoughts have crept in. They are moving locations and her role as a healer may not be needed.
The cousins are gathering together for the finale. This book is slightly shorter because it runs the same timeline as Connor’s. This is packed full of its own adventures though. Looking forward to the next book…as always. Great series.

This was a terrific short, but jammed packed, book that had some of our old favorite characters & the meeting of 2 sweet boys that are such fun. I really enjoyed the intrigue, action & the amount of time it took Gregor & Linet to get their HEA – they were perfect for each other!
I was gifted the Advanced Reader Copy of this book; all opinions are my own & have been voluntarily given.
Another great addition to this wonderful series The Band of Cousins! Kidnapped, Linet Baird had been glad to be from her family at Clan Ramsey. She had been basically a slave for her brothers and father but also for another terrible reason she was trying not to let destroy her.
But as the group she was with were being attacked by warriors she had to flee with Sela, who was basically her keeper and it was her job to care for Sela’s lasses who had also been taken. They were bought and sold, handled like cargo. But she could see Gregor Ramsey shooting arrows from the tree and prayed he would be safe. She just needed to get away from Ramsey land.
Gregor Ramsey was determined to find out what was pushing Linet to flee and stay with Sela and not come home. He had vowed to protect her and that is what he would do. They had spent time together when they were younger and at one time he had thought to declare for her.
An amazing story of love and redemption that won my heart. Don’t miss this one or any in the series! You will not be able to put it down until the end!
I LOVE this series. I probably say it in every review but it’s not often that you get a series that goes into the lives of the main characters and develops into another series where you find out what happens to their offspring. The relationships between the cousins is a tight bond. They are each forging their own way as individuals as well as a group. And thankfully we still see glimpses of their parents. I am eagerly awaiting the next book!
