Book: My Highland Love
Series: Highland Lords - Book 1
Author: Tarah Scott
Genre: Historical Romance
Length: Approximately 331 Pages
In MY HIGHLAND LOVE, the first book in the Highland Lords series by TARAH SCOTT, we meet Marcus MacGregor, Marquess of Ashlund, and Elise Kingston, an American heiress that has been shipwrecked and taken in by the MacGregor clan. Elise's story is heartbreaking and one that if she could only trust Marcus with, she would reap the rewards of revenge she so rightly deserves, but keeping her secrets puts the man she grows to love and herself in great peril.
MY HIGHLAND LOVE is so much more than just a historical romance. Besides some pretty breathtaking love scenes that are written beautifully, it's got suspense, thrills and vengeance. Ms. Scott wrote a story that is intricate in its storyline details and beautifully romantic at the same time. Elise's character is strong and bold yet also gentle, nurturing and loving at the same time which I found utterly refreshing.
I enjoyed this book so much, I couldn't wait to read the second book in the series, My Highland Lord. If you enjoy historical romance, if you enjoy a book with a storyline that will have you guessing what on earth is going to happen next, you've just got to pick this book up. It is a very entertaining read.

As soon as I finished the first book in the Highland Lords series, My Highland Love, I couldn't wait to pick up the second book, MY HIGHLAND LORD by TARAH SCOTT. I am now a huge fan of Ms. Scott's.
MY HIGHLAND LORD is the story of Kiernan MacGregor, the Marquess of Ashlund, (Marcus MacGregor's son) and Phoebe Wallington, a London heiress. As with the first book in this series, MY HIGHLAND LORD has a very intricate storyline that I truly enjoyed. Ms. Scott does not fall back on romance alone. Her writing takes the reader on a journey of conspiracy, collusion and even treason with characters that are strong in their convictions and strong in their personalities. I might add there is a kidnapping in this book that I found hilarious. I still smile when I think of it.
I enjoy Ms. Scott's writing so much, that I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. If you're looking for a historical romance, you should give this series a try. You'll be surprised at the depth of Ms. Scott's writing and the way she can spin a story. Very enjoyable.
