I really enjoyed the story, but was very disappointed with the abrupt ending.
CRYING….WOW !! I mean I’m laying here after finishing this book just wowed !! This was such a heartfelt, touching, captivating, patient and all up in your feel goods story. Yeah there were twists but I absolutely LOVED everything about this book. Oh and I am sooooo waiting for the next one, and mind you I want it now. I didn’t like the ending…ok let me correct that, my emotions didn’t like it. This was not one of the action packed Highlander books but DO NOT let that discourage you from reading it. YOU WILL BE MISSING OUT BIG TIME!! There most certainly is action too. I love all of Alisa’s books!!
I received this as an ARC and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Be swept away with this overwhelming story! Highlander’s Golden Jewel will hold you spellbound as it comes to life with all intriguing mystery, suspense and strife that will keep you reading to the very end. Alisa Adams is not afraid to write a story that is heart rendering, heart stopping filled with love, hope, tears and laughter. Alisa has a writing style that I thoroughly enjoy; she’s filled this story with characters that come off the pages and pulled me into this tale, it’s well-written, with strong plot and great dialogue, with setting descriptions and action sequences that are wonderfully vivid which brings this read together perfectly. Kaithria has emotional scars from her childhood that keeps her from trusting and believing in any relationship with men. Keir is a brawny swoon worthy highland warrior who has felt drawn to the mysterious Kaithria for a long time. As Keiris is drawn more and more towards Kaithria he slowly helps her to find peace within herself. The fighting scenes were fantastic, love Cat’s zest for life and you just got to love Aunt Hextilda from the first novel Highlander’s Lion Heart and each and everyone after! The heart stopping letter from Cat brings tears to your eyes and you’ll be on pins and needles for the next in the series!
I love this series. The author Alisa Adams can weave a magical unpredictable story like none other. This is an excellent story of a kidnapped murdered princess and her two children. An intercontinental relationship. Our heroine Kaithria is in a few of the previous books. In this book we get to know her a lot better. She has a rich background that is revealed throughout the story. It is fascinating. We also are reintroduced to those amazing war horses. I just love them. Also, we have some new quirky characters that will make you smile. Our hero Keir is a laird and a warrior. When he first lays eyes on Kaithria he is attracted. As he gets to know her, he realizes that she has some special needs. It was never beneath him to get down on his knees to be by her side and extend his love and comfort to her. His feelings for her are genuine and he will beat the crap out of anyone who tries to harm her. This is a must read. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend you read the books in sequence as it will enrich your reading. Do not pass this up. A great, great story.
This is a continuation in the series. Absolutely loved this book! Kaithria traveled with Lady Catriona (Cat) MacKay Along with her uncle Keir Maxwell Gunn to Kinbrace. Along the way Kaithria noticed someone following them. When they arrive at Kinbrace she encounters resistance at every turn. In the meantime Keir wants her for himself and she begins to fall in love with the handsome warrior. Can she overcome her past and learn to love and be loved?
