LOVE, HONOUR, BETRAYAL
What would make a HIGHLANDER Flee the highlads he loves so much, for a land of sand & death? I think a Lass is the only thing that could make Alex flee his home, his family, his clan, and maybe the Almighty himself. Ms. Rand did an excellent job of writhing this series as she always dies but I found that she made Alex seem as if he was both Viking & Highlander. Follow Alex & Keeley to see if the Highland Storm they cause is worth it all in the end..Violetta Rand
The front cover of “Unbreakable” is what initially caught my attention and made me want to read this novel, but I was quickly entrenched within the first couple of pages. Betrayed by not only family, but the one you love can most definitely cause a person to attempt to become callous or to harden their heart, by suppressing all emotion. How they handle these conflicts in their lives shapes a person into whomever they eventually become. Learning to deal with responsibility, whether it is desired or not, becomes a necessary process. One cannot allow pain or insecurities from his or her past to rule their actions forever. Sometimes love is just forever, whether one wishes to admit that or not, and clinging to the pains of the past only blocks any chance they may have of finding happiness and contentment. In “Unbreakable”, Alex and Keely attempt to handle their past conflicts in ways they can justify in their minds, however, that is not always the proper path to redemption and contentment. When you read this novel by a Violetta Rand, you learn to appreciate the depth of her character construction and her attention to detail. She so effortlessly presents options for her characters to choose to act on or not. As the reader, you are able to experience the frustrations as well as the joys these characters face. There are a few steamy sexual encounters, considering what was considered socially acceptable at the time, but all very tastefully done. An excellent read!
A skillfully plotted story that keeps you guessing as you turn the page. Well written characters, danger, betrayal and so many twist and turns.

As the two face each other again, old feelings come to the surface but Alex does his best to suppress them. What really happened to make Keely marry his brother? Why should he trust her now? This story will keep you tied to your seat as this tale unfolds and all information comes to light. A well written story and looking forward to more in this series!!
