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?

What a great story! Love at first sight that is all consuming. While they are from 2 different lifestyles, and have their obstacles along the way, their love will prove strong her than his mighty fists. This book gave me all the feels, and made me believe in true love! I would definitely recommend this book.

The great character and plot development kept me totally enthralled throughout the entire book!
Pooh, I had a lot of trouble with the language used in this book. That sometimes meant that I wanted to put the book away. But the story caught me.
It is a pity that Leonora was portrayed in such a fragile way in this story. Maybe because of her young age or because she is used to getting everything as a young lady? Angus, however, fights his way to her heart and circumstances make it difficult to keep the promises he makes her. In the end, everything will be fine and the love will fall from them. Nice to read that in the end he even makes her heartwish come true after 10 years of marriage.
I give this book 3.5 stars

Love her stories. Especially the highlander ones. He is a fighter who became that after the war. He has nothing else and no family there. She is a daughter of people with lots of things including money. Her parents have plans for her that she says no to. But how do these two get it together when he disappears for awhile and they have so much between them? I recommend it. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
3.5 star review:
A well written story with nice storyline and plot. The writing is in old scottish and as a reader you have to get used to it. But nicely done. Main characters well described and they develop through the story. It is written in dual POV and that gives the reader more of the thoughts and feelings of the main charachters.
A highlander that fights in more ways than one. He is a boxer but he also has to fight to gain respects from her father.
A story that has a lot in it. It has some drama, family issues and a lot of love. I like the epilogues.
Another 5-star plus book by this amazing author. This Highlander knows what he wants and he will get it. Angus is and has been infatuated with Leonora. She is his everything. Everything he has ever wanted. Give this book a read and fall in love with the amazing couple.

Angus was a fighter and has just return home from serving his country. Leonora is a daughter of a wealthy family and she’s being forced into a marriage that she doesn’t want. Leonora sees Angus fighting and is drawn to him. Angus is intrigued by Leonora and follows her home. They eventually meet up and starts seeing each other secretly. They make plans for their future and what they want to build together. Angus went to make plans for them and when days went by with no word from him Leonora starts to worry. Did Angus change his mind? Will Leonora give him a chance to explain why he was gone so long?
This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

These Highlanders are so sexy! I don’t want to go live back in those days – no modern medicine, running water, bathrooms. But, if I could visit, I’d go back to these days of sexy Highlanders who live and love with a ferocity that takes my breath away. Thank you, Flora, for another lovely story.

This was my first time reading a book by this author and it won’t be my last. I wasn’t sure at first if I was going to like it, since it wasn’t what I was expecting but I as I kept reading, I was pleasantly surprised. It started off a bit slow the first two chapters but then it picked up and I couldn’t put it down. I read it all in one day. I would recommend this book to those who like sweet, historical romances with a sweet ending. This was a feel good, historical romance.

Angus and Leonora are a beautiful and exciting couple. They went through so much to be together and her family didn’t help. Sickness, heartache, adversity and almost dying these two found their way back. Beautiful love story.

I can always count on Ms. Ferrari to provide a couple of hours of hot, steamy romance. This is the first Highland story I’ve read by her and I enjoyed it as much as her other genres. Angus and Lenora’s insta-love warmed my heart. Especially at this time of year! I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Lairds and Ladies series, stories with Highlander twists.Similar to her A Man Who Knows What He Wants books.
This is pleasure to read them.
Angus in particular won my heart! An enemy for her parents and her first love.
Lady Leonora is sassy, determined Highland lass and no is not in her vocabulary. She will even fight her parents to get her man.
Can’t wait to read more in this series!

This is the second book in the Lairds and Ladies series, it is a standalone insta everything love story with no cliffhangers.
Leonora sees Angus one day at the fair while he’s in a fight and is immediately attracted to the older man, Angus has never felt anything for another woman before and realizes that this young beauty has brought his soul to life. Can this couple make it work with all the challenges in their way? The storyline is fast-paced and well-written, the characters are incredibly likable and relatable. Highly entertaining.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Angus is a fighter. When Leonora went to town she noticed Angus and he her it was instant attraction, Angus followed Leonora home so he knew where she lived.
Thank you for you allowing me to review your book.
