She belonged to another…
Lady Arbella de Mowbray abhors the idea of marrying an English noble occupying Scotland. When she reaches Stirling where she is to wed, she is thrown into the midst of a full battle between the Scots and the English. Fighting for her life, she is whisked from her horse by a warrior fighting with William Wallace who escapes with her into the Highlands.
But was … Highlands.
But was destined to be his…
The last thing Laird Magnus Sutherland wants is a wife…but that is exactly what he got when he saved the beautiful English lass. Their countries are at war and they should be each other’s enemy. When she is attacked by one of his own men, he determines the only way to keep her safe is to marry her.
Magnus brings Arbella to his home of Dunrobin Castle. And that’s where the trouble begins… Neither one considered their mock marriage would grow into a deeply passionate love. What’s more, they were both unhappily betrothed and those who’ve been scorned are out for the ultimate revenge.

I loved this book by Eliza Knight. I write Irish historical romance, so anything Celtic is a win by me. Wonderful writing, emotional and highly sensual interactions between the hero and heroine, and a memorable story set in one of my favorite places, Scotland.
** 3.5 stars **
This was a fun read despite predictable plot, obvious villains and expected conclusion. It was steadily paced with plenty of steam and likable MCs. There was a moment when the H made a decision that made her TSTL but the author turned the situation around quickly and averted the disaster. It was simple and straightforward and I …

When her guards and her are caught up in the aftermath of the Scots victory …
Lady Arbella is my character soul – she’s grown up with brothers, willing to handle herself in anyway needed in a situation, and spunky. Although a very brave and willful character, the author didn’t go too far in her creation – Arbella still feels like a woman of the past – her character is very real. Loved every moment of this book.
Magnus is …

Eliza Knight has a gift for snaring the readers attention at the beginning and not letting go until the last page is turned.

Highlander’s Reward is a spirited romance, set in a turbulant time in Scottish history. The characters are well developed and the storyline is wonderfully written!
