A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Susan
In Tamed by a Highlander, Paula Quinn weaves romance, suspense, and history into a story that unleashes a smoldering desire within the heart of the reader. Her characters, Connor and Mairi, exemplify the fiery passion of Highland pride as they struggle to live in a time of subterfuge and political unrest between two countries and the two lovers. Both are warriors of Scotland and their relationship invokes the spirit of a Highlander's fierce passion for country and clan. When Connor and Mairi are together sparks fly and swords clash, but it's the undeniable bond between them that unleashes the sizzling passion to enrapture the reader with a romance you will not soon forget. Connor and Mairi's relationship began as children, built into love as youths, and suffered from betrayal and separation. Tamed by a Highlander is a breathtaking romance full of history and heart-melting Highlanders. Paula Quinn not only brings her characters to life and full of passion but also delves into one of the turbulent times in history between England and Scotland. This is a great novel and one that I will add to my shelves along with the other fantastic novels by Paula Quinn. Whoop, high fives for this must read!

Book Blurb for Tamed by a Highlander
A LOVER'S PROMISE
Connor Grant left his first love in the Highlands, vowing to return after serving in the king's army. Seven years later, he is still fighting for the crown, and his victories are legendary-both in the battlefield and in the bedroom. Yet he's never forgotten his bonnie lass. And he certainly never expected to see her amidst the splendor of the British royal court: beautiful, breathtaking, and tempting him past the point of no return.
A LADY'S DESTINY
The night he left, Mairi MacGregor banished Connor from her life forever. Now her heart belongs only to Scotland. As part of a secret alliance, she journeys to London in search of information . . . only to find herself face to face with the one man she swore she'd never trust again. Though Mairi's body still craves Connor's touch, she can't forgive his betrayal. But a traitor lurks in their midst and to protect her beloved Highlands, Mairi must make a leap of faith and join forces with Connor-even if it means losing her heart to him again.
