Book Three in the hilarious and romantic Clash of the Tartans series!The ascension of King James of Scotland to the throne of England has united two age-old enemies. The king is determined to stamp out the clan feuds that have led to centuries of murder and mayhem. When his father is executed for assassinating the laird of another Lowland clan, Broderick Maxwell is unexpectedly thrust into … unexpectedly thrust into leadership of his clan. He strives to resurrect his clan’s reputation at a time when change is sweeping over Scotland.
He must also take responsibility for raising his 11-year-old sister.
Kyla MacKeegan is the daughter of a powerful Highland chieftain, and an accomplished sea captain who has plied the waters of the Hebridean Sea since childhood. Broderick is drawn to her from their first inauspicious meeting. But a union between a Highlander and a Lowlander would never work. Especially after Broderick accuses Kyla of smuggling opium by way of the Solway Firth and sinks her father’s galley.

Ms. Knight has a hit in the first book of the “Stolen Brides Series””. This book follows “Highlander’s Temptation”. We find Magnus Sutherland is saying goodbye to his sister and heading home. He saves a lovely lady, Arbella de Mowbray from death by mob. As they travel to Magnus’s home in the highlands they fall in love despite each being betrothed to another. Ms. Knight will have you laughing and crying at the situations and characters she has created for our reading pleasure. I look forward to the next book in the series, wondering which story will be next.
What a wonderful story! It is the third book in a fun series but can be read as a stand alone. A young woman, Kyla, strong willed daughter of a laird and captain of a boat, meets Broderick, a young laird of a clan from another part of Scotland. Their meeting takes place because of a crime in which Kyla and her men were victims. Were it not for this event that would not have met.
The story is filled with intrigue, a cast of interesting characters, and romance that simmers between the two people.
I am interested in future stories from several characters, especially that of Lily. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to historical romance readers who appreciate a strong heroine.
I read this as an arc which affected my review in no way at all.
This is a wonderfully written, fast paced read. Fantastic characters, great storyline, lots of adventure. A heroine who has a brain and a mind of her own and is not scared to use it! I will be reading the other books in this series!
100% A MOST READ
Again Anna you ROCKED another one of my favorites! I love how Kyla was the Captain of her own Birlinn. Kyla’s backstory was truly ver sad but at the same time she ha a TRULY WONDERFUL Childhood (She realted well to Lily) Omg I HATED “Corbin” but I guess that was the point. I absolutely loved Broderick he he is AMAZING and is an “AMAZING HERO for a JUST AS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL HEROINE!”
Kilty Pleasures is a story that will sweep you away to 1614 Scotland and the adventures of two people bound for each other! Anna’s well drawn characters easily come to life as we find Broderick Maxwell becoming laird as his father is executed for killing another clan leader. He is left with raising his 11 year old sister you will love her) and trying to keep his clan together after the blow left by his father. Kyla MacKeegan is an accomplished sea captain who has sailed the seas since a young child. Saying that the two’s first meeting did not go well is an understatement! Broderick accuses Kyla of smuggling opium, which she knows nothing about and he ends up sinking her ship. Are you kidding? No, there are many twist and turns and a lurking enemy who is trying to take control of Broderick’s land that had been on Kyla’s ship. Did I tell you there is also a pet eagle? I have to say this story had a lot of fun parts that will really make you smile. Be prepared for an adventure as the hero and heroine try to figure out everything. Part of a series, this story can be read as a standalone. Another wonderful story by Ann Markland!!
Fabulous! Kitty Pleasures by Anna Markland is book 3 in The Clash Of The Titians series.
Anna holds me captive in each story I have read including Kilty Pleasures and her well drawn characters easily come to life and captures the era in which the story is set. I cannot wait for more of this series, although this book can be read as a standalone. This story has kindness, greed, death, an assassin, ship wreak, lies, kidnapping, drownings, evil, shame, misunderstandings, threats, teaching, embarrassment, caring, family love, bravery, theft, madness and of course love. Prepare to be swept into this wonderful story that you will not be able to put down. I highly recommend this book, you won’t be disappointed. Go back in time to 1614 AD Scotland with Kyla MacKeegan, Laird Broderick Maxwell and his little sister Lily.
***This book was gifted to me and I am voluntarily reviewing.
Kyla MacKeegan has mixed feelings about her next trip. She is to captain her ship south to near the border with England. That is good and exciting, but the passenger she is taking makes her very uncomfortable. She is glad she has a crew full of clan members that respect her capabilities, and she can count on no matter what happens.
Laird Broderick Maxwell has been made Warden of Solway. That is a very important waterway. Considering his father was beheaded not so long ago it is a high honour. He also has his young sister to look after. His special pet is the only one he can confide in when he needs to think things through.
This is a very exciting adventure on the high seas around Scotland. Our heroine has a villain aboard her ship who has very bad intentions, he also appears to be slightly mad. She is going to have to draw on all her courage to get through. Our hero has his hands full with his duties as Warden, the clan and his sister. That’s a lot for a young man.
An action packed story full of danger, excitement, emotion and laughs. I loved every page.
