An exciting, romantic Highland adventure with a murder / mystery to solve. Lots of danger for all of the characters and surprising discoveries.
Great fun.
Broch MacLeod has grown up thinking he had to forever earn his place. He has fought with the dangerous Dark Riders, fought and won many battles and still has had to endure ridicule about being born a bastard. We have known this about Broch from the other stories…his need to belong is really in his head. His clan, laird and King (he is now the King’s right hand) all love, respect and feel he belongs. Brock still has the achy need to know…who was his father and if the woman who his Uncle says is really his mother (she died when he was a bairn)… Which brings us to now. The King has sent Broch to make sure a wedding happens. The Blackwell first born must marry the Kinntock lass. Uniting their waring clan…There has been raiding, murder and heartbreak. Broch is to find Kitreine, who has gone missing and whose nickname is the Hellion of the Highlands, and make she weds Brodee the eldest son. He finds Kitreine in trouble and rescues her. Both feel an instant attraction, but Broch knows he can not act because that would mean he would let down the King. Kitreine BEGs him to find the truth who murdered her sister (who was supposed to marry Brodee) so he can call off the wedding. He agree and starts investigating. What he finds is a whirlwind of mystery, love, loss and more murder.
Julie Johnstone has once again weave a magical tale along with mystery to make to glued to the book. Her main characters are so full of life. Her secondary characters aren’t quiet either, they jump out of the pages just begging for their own stories too….Love Book 8 in this series…it did NOT disappoint!
Broch MacLeod, King David’s Right Hand has been sent to the Rough Boards to find Katleine Kintoch and see her married to Brodee Blackswell, Laird Blackswells heir, to unite the two clans and stop them from feuding. When he arrives he finds three Blackswell warriors trying to abuse her, he quickly despatched two and injures the other and sends him on his way. After speaking to her and her family they tell him about the discourse between the families stating that Brodee is a murderer and that they keep raiding them, promising to find the truth and petition the king of it proves true to stop the wedding Broch goes to see the Blackswells.
Now, everyone knows the legend of Broch MacLeod, the Beast of Skye and how they call him Bastard, as he knows not who his father is, and not even sure if he is a MacLeod, so imagine if you will, what would happen if the truth of his birth came to light and he found that not only does he have a father and that his parents were wed, but that he was also the eldest and so the heir.
As you can probably guess, Brodee is not a murderer, but someone is, and that same person is responsible for the Ill will between the clans, and….. Broch is the one that has to wed as per the Kings dictate.
So now not only does he need to find who it is, but he also has to contend with a very angry wife.
This is absolutely brilliant, I read it in a day, I couldn’t put it down, not that I wanted too, it is exciting and I was rooting all the way for Broch and even Brodee, and thought Katleine was a spoilt child who didn’t want to see further than her family’s hate, I could understand it, but felt like shaking her, but then that is the brilliance of Julie Johnstone’s writing. It makes you feel.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion
The story starts when Broch a legendary highland warrior, is given a mission by King David to find Katreine and have her wed the eldest song of Clan Blackswell. Katreine, on the other hand, has no intention of forsaking her beloved father and doting brothers for a husband, especially a hated Blackswell. I loved both Katreine and Broch they fit so well together and I adored their mutual respect for each other along with the romance. The pace of the book was perfect and the twist in the plot at the end wrapped up the story perfectly and it hooked me from the very first page. The talent of Julie Johnstone shines through each word and I recommend reading When a Highlander Weds a Hellion! Enjoy!
When a Highlander Weds a Hellion by Julie Johnstone is a wonderfully written and thoroughly captivating story. Broch is a Highlander with a reputation and has something to prove. He is quite the irresistible hero! Katreine didn’t get the nickname Hellion of the Highlands for no reason. She is a beautiful, strong willed, stubborn female who shows him what he was really missing. Her character was so fun and easy to like.
A lot happens in a small amount of time and it hooked me from the very beginning. It is fast paced, unpredictable and full of action/adventure. I really loved the storyline and the characters. I only have one tiny question, not important enough to affect my review in any way, but what happened to Sheba? I didn’t realize until hours after I finished the book that the cat never made another appearance. Absolutely loved this book though!! 5 stars
You definitely want to read this book. It’s totally different than most plots. Your heart will hurt for the female protagonists . But Brock will heal her soul.
A Really Good Book, I enjoyed it so much. It had Mystery, intrigue, action, romance, with a sweet, but a little sensuality. I liked the hero, Broch, and heroine, Katreine a lot. It was a very sweet, but at times a very disturbed love story, with a lot of ups and downs. It kept you guessing what was going to the end, it was very hard to put it down. A very good ending. I highly recommend this book, as I do all of Author’ books.
