AngusI was a lonely man, a rough, brute o’ a man that earned his livin’ by his fists. I was a fighter, no’ a lover. That is until I met Leonora. I canna say how she stirred something deep wi’in me, but from that first moment, when our eyes met, I ken that I had to hae the bonnie lass for ma’ own. Aye, I lusted after her sweet, young body, but it was more than that. I needed to care for her, look … for her, look after the lass, hae bairns wi’ her…love her… ‘til we grew old together.
But I hae nothing to offer her but ma’ heart. I am a man twice her age, wi’ out much o’ a future. But I must hae the lass, I canna wait to feel the taste o’ her sweetness on ma’ lips, the honey o’ her youth, and I will do anything I can to make her mine. I would fight to the death for ma’ lass.
Leonora
I hae ne’er known anyone like him before, Angus Ross, the Highland Hustler. He is a real man, strong and handsome, no’ like the boys I ken back in Muir Ord. How can I explain to ma’ mother and father how I feel? They will ne’er understand, they hae ne’er felt how I feel. Seeing his rippling muscles, his bare flesh in the fighting ring has left me wanting more. This rough fighting man has stirred something deep wi’ in me, a longing and an ache that I canna bear. I must hae this man, be wi’ this man for always. I dream o’ his lips on mine, his arms around me. But ma’ father has other ideas, he wants me to marry someone else, a boy that is hardly a man. If I canna hae Angus Ross, then ma’ life willnae be worth living. Will ma’ dreams e’er come true?

Love at first sight……….but can they have a future when her parents find out
Taken By The Highlander is a great second book in the Lairds & Ladies series by Flora Ferrari. As with this author’s other series A Man Who Knows What He Wants, the H, Angus, in this story is pure possessive and protective Alpha. That is even when the h, Leonora, can definitely take care of herself and matches him for her will and determination. These two have enough chemistry to burn all of Scotland down when they first meet. Angus and Leonora have a lot to deal with in order to get their HEA but if you read the story you will see that it was all worth it in the end.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A phenomenal read! Beautifully written, well-developed and heart melting! The story line is amazing, drama-filled, funny, witty, and fast pace; the writing is fluid and the story flows smoothly. Amazing characters who are different but just perfect for each other; the chemistry between them is intense and instant! Looking forward to reading more from this series! Definitely recommended!

Really great second book in the Lairds & Ladies series. Similar to her A Man Who Knows What He Wants books, but with a historical, Highlander twist. The Scottish accent can take a bit to get used to reading, but it’s well worth the effort. Angus in particular won my heart! Can’t wait to read more in this series!

OMG, Ok, so Iknow I always say I love Flora, but I really truly do. This books is all the reasons why I love her books and writing style. While her A Man Who Knows What He Wants series, is a must read and it’s just one more reason to love the genre, this series is everything, it’s everything in terms of writing, character development and genre. This was a very very very good book and this series is soooooooo good.

I just couldn’t wait to read this, so as soon as it came out, I stopped everything and started reading.
Angus is working as a bare knuckle fighter when he sees the most gorgeous women (lass) he has seen. Leonora is awe struck when she sees this brute of a fighter. Leonora is from a wealthy family & her parents want her to marry into a family that is of high standards. Angus follows her to her home thru the country side. They meet up and have to sneak around to see each . One day Leonora runs away to find the man she loves since he has been forced to leave her alone. Goodness so much happened in this story hard to review so much.

Another well written older man/younger woman insta love romance between Leonora and Angus by Flora Ferrari. She once again brings an interesting story,fills it with drama and romance and takes you back to the day with her detailed scenes. I loved the Scottish brogue and reading their story and as usual , I especially loved the epilogues. I would recommend reading.

I love Ferrari’s Highlander series! This is the second in the group, and it was just as compelling as the premier book! Her main characters were perfect for each other. Angus was strong, brave, protective, tender, caring, passionate, and loving to a fault. Leonora was strong-willed, determined, equally as passionate, and loved fiercely, even her close-minded family. Emoyionally, this book took my heart, made it soar, shredded it, out it back together only to trample it somemore! I laughed, ugly cried, and swooned throughout this story – totally fell in love.
Angus was a travenging fighter as when he returned from serving his country, his family was gone (mom dead, brothers went parts unknown). Alone and without a cent, he did what was necessary to survive. Leonora, on the other hand, was a daughter of privilege. Her father was a laird and she had everything…except someone to love. Her parents were determined she marry a friend since childhood. She refused. (I did find her parents strangely hard headed about her feelings, as they too had an unusual courtship. But, you need to read the 1st in the series to fully understand!)
When Angus & Leonora met it was instant chemistry. She saw him fight, and he followed her. Learning where she lived, he went to her, and their love bloomed. When he went to make arrangements for their future, he did not return. She believed in him, but after weeks, and being ill she relented.
Find out what happened when Angus returned. What took so long? Will they be finally be happy or do other trials await? Ferrari really pulled out all the stops in this one! I did receive this as an ARC but that in no war effected my opinion or my review.

An interesting book with the speech pattern being all olde world Scots. It took a while to get used to that but it really did not detract from the storyline in any way. I liked how Angus really worked to gain a measure of respect in the eyes of the father to Leonora. HEA is achieved but not without some drama and the near-death of one of the main characters.
There are also a number of epilogues!!! Yay!! I love epilogues!!

I loved this second book in the “Lords & Lairds” series from this author. I really enjoyed other characters returning & it made it all tie in beautifully.
Angus & Leonora were adorable together & I loved following them through their heart-wrenching journey to happiness!
Well done Flora. Another string added to your bow successfully. I need more!
