The seer predicted a union of necessity. A marriage foreseen to save a man’s life and heal a woman’s soul.Grab book 2 in the new popular highland series Highland Heroes. Read for Free with Kindle Unlimited!Death by boredom is the only fate Duncan MacCoinnich fears. Years as a mercenary fed him the adventure he needed, but now the dull routines of his brother’s keep are starving him for … brother’s keep are starving him for excitement. So, he offers his services to the ruthless smuggling lord, the MacDonald of Skye and all is set—until the woman screams.
Independence and adventure are all Tilda Mackenzie wants, a tall order for the only child of the chieftain of Clan Mackenzie. Her duty is to marry and secure an alliance. But she’d rather work at her father’s side, helping him build their smuggling empire and outmaneuver the bloody MacDonalds. She’s fearless and canny and takes pride in bending her will to no man—until the day the soldiers decide she needs humbling.
Tilda’s rescue has Duncan headed for the gallows even though she claims him to be her husband to refute the accusations. Both of them wished for adventure. But adventures can weary a soul especially when deadly enemies appear in unexpected places. That’s when wishes change to prayers for nothing more than the safety and love found in each other’s arms.
Take care with what ye wish. And word such wishes wisely. For when ye receive what ye want, ye might discover it a curse instead.

As fate would have it bored Duncan MacCoinnich is searching for adventure and he ends up saving the life of Tilda Mackenzie after she was being brutally attacked by British Soldiers intent on raping her. Tilda is the only child of the chieftain of Clan Mackenzie who welcomes Duncan into his Clan and smuggling business. Tilda returns the favor when Duncan’s life is on the line and offer marriage that swiftly becomes a jail break, treachery, swashbuckling pirates, and adventure romance. An excellent story I loved and I voluntarily wrote a review.
Adventure, intrigue, excitement. That is exactly what Duncan craved and smuggling was his next stop. So different from being a warrior for hire and helping his brother as the new chieftain to the newly formed Clan MacCoinnich.
He was making his way to Inverness to learn the smuggling business when he heard a woman scream.
She was being attacked by British soldiers and Duncan, the braw warrior he was, saved her. But as fate would have it her name was Tilda MacKenzie and her father was the Laird Mackenzie! One he had been told to avoid due to being competition to his soon to be smuggling operation!
Tilda is so thankful for the strong man that saved her and only wants to repay him. That is when everything begins to get tense. Her father makes him a part of his clan, forever in his debt for saving his only daughter and the adventure begins!
Duncan definitely got his excitement and intrigue plus much more and as the two spend time together, there might just be a forever love!! Perfect!
The Warrior by Maeve Greyson is the second in her Highland Heroes series and features Duncan MacCoinnich and Tilda MacKenzie. They meet in a less than auspicious manner when Duncan comes upon Tilda as she is lashed to the ground, being help down by two men and moments away from being raped by a third. Despite that fact he had no idea who she was, Duncan could not allow this to happen and shot and killed the rapist. He used his second gun to shoot at the other man as they ran, wounding one of them, but with both of them escaping. He gathered Tilda up, dressed her in his spare tunic and took her to town, to her family’s inn, as she directed. There he tried to simply leave her, but met with resistance so he enjoyed a meal. As it became more and more apparent that he could not refuse their hospitality, he snuck away to notify the man who was to have become his new employer that he was otherwise engaged. It was not met favorably. The MacDonalds did not like to be turned down. Both the MacDonalds and the Mackenzies were smugglers and now he had made an enemy.
Both Duncan and Tilda were hungry for adventure and adventures came their way, and kept coming. The English government was after them; the MacDonalds were after them, Tilda’s mother was after them. They could not get away. Death hovered near them. This was a very fast-paced story with adventure on both land and sea. Sometimes they were together; sometimes separate, although never by choice. Tilda was strong and fierce. She would brave anything. She had total confidence in herself. Duncan had total confidence in her, as well. He was a Highlander, braw and ready for anything. Reading this story was joyful as their love was pure and strong and their luck unbelievable. They came out of it all in one piece. I enjoyed the journey. I recommend The Warrior. It is everything you want a Highland novel to be and more.
I received a free ARC of the Warrior from Dragonblade in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions and interpretations contained herein are solely my own.
This book is full of adventure, treachery, pirates, and romance in Maeve Greyson’s second book “The Warrior”. The characters are wonderful, full of independence, secrets and the plot are handled in just such a way you keep reading to discover what happens next. Duncan MacCoinnich is not a man that likes a boring life. Always wanting adventure in his life, he discovers more than he bargains for when he rescues Tilda Mackenzie from savage British Soldiers bent on raping her. Together Duncan and Tilda must find a way to keep the adventure they both seek from turning into a dangerous game that could cost either one of them their lives. I truly enjoyed this book and can not wait for Maeve’s next one to be published.
Duncan MacCoininch can’t settle into the quiet life of his brother’s new keep, so he decides to search for adventure. He’s off to learn smuggling. That’s until he hears a woman scream.
Tilda MacKenzie is the only child of a powerful chieftain but that’s not helping her now.
This is a very emotional story where our characters go from one danger to another. Death is following in their wake.
We go from the highlands to the islands, with fierce Highlanders and even fiercer pirates.
Very exciting action packed story.
I love Duncan! He is such a fierce protector of innocent people. He was brought up to respect women. He is also looking for a change from being a mercenary to just having an adventure. Tilda MacKenzie is the daughter/son the chieftan always wanted. She is smart and beautiful. She also knows the family business just as well as her father. She was kidnapped and Duncan rescued her. Thus begins their adventure. There are people on the English and Scottish that want one or both of them dead. But fate has other plans. Wonderful book!
