About this audiobook
will use any means necessary to vanquish lawlessness and unrest among
the feuding Highland clans. Seduction is a game as easily played as
subterfuge, but when Jamie poses as a suitor to a rival clan's daughter
in order to expose treason, the line between duty and pleasure is
suddenly blurred. Ebony-haired, ruby-lipped Caitrina Lamont defies him,
denies him, and arouses him like no other woman.Caitrina has no
intention of forsaking her beloved father and doting brothers for a
husband-especially a hated Campbell. But Jamie's raw, sensual strength
and searing kiss melt her resistance. When her idyllic world is
shattered, Caitrina's only hope to save her clan lies in the arms of
Jamie Campbell, the enemy she holds accountable for its ruin. Can their
tenuous truce, born in the velvet darkness of passionate nights, forge a
love as strong as the sword that rules the Highlands?

Her interest in the Scottish clan system began in the most unlikely of places: a comparative legal history course at Stanford Law School.

Monica McCarty lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and their two children.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book and wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Jamie is an excellent hero warrior and tender lover all rolled into one. Caitrina is a perfect heroine feisty and feminine. They have excellent chemistry and it is a love story you will want to read over and over again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jamie is a wonderful hero. He is not perfect but his flaws feel very real and the result of a deep sense of honor and responsibility. Omyword, I love him! Katrina is so annoying and naive. At times I can understand her choices. But other times she makes me want to shake her. She is emotional and illogical at times. The story is well developed and Jamie is a complex character. Their love is tested by family ties and political differences. It is a great read with love, suspense, betrayal, action, and more. This is my favorite of Monica’s books. I love that it doesn’t end right after the couple comes together. We get to see what happens after. I love stories like this.

I cannot imagine how embarrassing for the bride.LEAST FAVORITE PART: Gillian at the Sinclair Keep. Somebody help her. What is he going to do to her?SEX SCALE: Of the following five options: 1) NOT very descriptive and requires imagination' 2) WILL make you wiggle a little) 3) WISH it was me; 4) OH boy, do not have to use my imagination at all; 5) EROTICA and well over the top******THIS BOOK GETS A TWO FOR "WILL MAKE YOU WIGGLE A LITTLE" rating because there is enough descriptive passion amongst all the plots and ploys to make it exciting******YOU WILL LIKE THIS BOOK IF YOU LIKE: How clans stop fighting and killing each other and the way that they are brought together. Major bad guys always running around with one plan after the other to achieve a major goal. One person that hates the other but ends up being involved with the other. The woman who continuously sees what others cannot see and gives warnings but in most cases is ignored and not taken seriously.FOUR STARS because once again did not reach to the level of my favorite authors, Hannah Howell and Alexandra Ivy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My Rating: A+My Review:I honestly think that this book was just so much more than a romance. Everything that the characters experience you as the reader will experience as well. This book often had me horribly angry, frightened, amused and even more, on the brink of tears.In the beginning the heroine is cute and charming and you love her, but as the hero points out more of her faults, you begin to see them as well and just before her big change, you almost become annoyed with her. But then everything in her life changes, and she becomes a different version of herself, someone you can relate with more.The hero is a strong handsome (duh, it's a romance) very loyal man. You can understand the heroines issues with how he sees the world and why she wants him to change, but you can also see his point of view. A main component in this novel is the lines between right and wrong, and whether or not there is a grey area. This is deeply explored through their experiences and the reader can even find themselves wondering who they should side with.And the sex scenes are hot too!!All in all this is a wonderful book, Ms. McCarty's best yet!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In Highland Warrior, Jamie Campbell is a enforcer of justice, and is wanting to know the location of Alistair of the MacGregor clan that are outlaws, and knows that since the Lamont Clan had close ties to the MacGregor clan, he plans on finding where Alisdair is being hidden. So he plans on wooing the sweet Caitrina who mesmerizes his body and soul. He finds himself drawn to her like a moth to a flame. He knows that even though there is a ulterior motive to him courting Caitrina, after tasting her sweet kisses, he knows that there is a connection between them that can't be denied. Caitrina Lamont has three brothers and a father that she loves dearly, and she knows that she doesn't want to settle down and marry. She is content until she meets the compelling highland warrior that entices her with tender embraces and a passion she finds within in that she didn't know existed. But her hopes come crashing down when her beautiful serene world falls apart and loses all of her family and her clan driven out, she knows Jamie's cousin is responsible, but will their feelings toward one another be strong enough to endure the coming challenges?I truly loved this and had it read in a couple of hours, since I just read it non stop, without stopping. The pages flew by so fast since I was so entranced into this beautiful love story. I truly loved Caitrina and Jamie. Jamie fights for justice and hunts down outlaws, however all that he is and believes in will be challenged after he connects with his one true love. Caitrina, after losing her family and almost being killed herself, never suspected to see Jamie again. However when he proposes marriage to her in return he will help her rebuild her clan, she knows she has a duty to her people. But this arrangement hold many surprises that will teach this handsome couple the meaning and importance of loving and trusting amidst a dangerous world. I have loved reading from this author, she writes such compelling scottish romances that touch the soul. You will never be disappointed with Monica McCarty.
