Booklist Review

Janet Cameron had come to the Samhain festival at Inverlochy with one thing on her shopping list: a husband. She is well aware that if she doesn't find a mate herself, her new stepmother will be more than happy to marry Janet off to the first man suitable or not she can find. Yet with all the brawny Scottish men in town, not to mention the Sassenach soldiers, why is it that the one man Janet keeps bumping into is Laird Robert Grant? Given the long-standing feud between their clans, Robert is the last man on earth Janet would ever want to wed. But when Robert rescues her from an altercation with a particularly persistent British officer, she finds herself reconsidering her feelings for the sexy Highlander. Jarecki further enhances her reputation for crafting stellar Scottish romances by giving readers a knockout love story, with an action-packed plot richly imbued with colorful period details and a perfectly matched hero and heroine whose sensual exploits are hot enough to warm the coldest of Scottish nights.--John Charles Copyright 2018 Booklist

Publisher's Weekly Review

A chieftain's daughter falls for the leader of an enemy clan in Jarecki's engrossing fifth Lords of the Highlands installment (after The Highland Chieftain). In early-18th-century Scotland, Janet Cameron, daughter of the chief of Clan Cameron, attends a Samhain celebration with her brother, Kennan, and attracts the unwanted attentions of a drunken English soldier, Lt. Winfred Cummins. After slapping Cummins, Janet flees; enraged, Cummins pursues and captures her. Robert, Laird Grant-her father's nemesis-rescues her, and they cross the mountains in treacherously snowy conditions. Janet breaks her arm, so Robert takes her back to his home to heal, despite knowing her father will see this as a kidnapping and escalate the feud that Robert hopes to end. In the face of numerous threats, Robert and Janet try to find a way to bring peace between their clans and forge a future together. Flirtatious, sensuous romance and adventure fill the pages of this mesmerizing historical, and the undercurrent of Jacobite rebellion raises the tension. Agent: Elaine Spencer, Knight Agency.

Library Journal Reviews

The Grants and the Camerons had feuded for centuries, but when lovely, blue-eyed Janet Cameron is taken by the English Redcoats, Laird Robert Grant doesn't think twice as he rides to her rescue and carries her into the snow-covered Highlands to eventual safety. With their families at odds, Janet is the last woman Robert should be rescuing. But as the danger mounts, the lure between the pair slowly grows, though they know their relationship can never be. VERDICT With passion, precision, and consummate skill, Jarecki has penned an adventurous romance that is greatly enhanced by an exquisite depiction of life in the early 18th-century Scottish Highlands. Beautifully done. Jarecki (The Duke's Fallen Angel) lives in southwest Utah.
