About this ebook

A courageous Highlander falls for a strong-willed lass in this thrilling romance.
 
"A wonderful crossover of Outlander and Pirates of the Caribbean." —Library Journal
 
Emma Grant has been sheltered and underestimated her entire life. Her blindness may set her apart, but she's just as fierce and loyal as any of her clansmen. So when she catches word that her brother's best friend is in jail, she doesn't hesitate to race to the brawny Highlander's rescue.
 
Laird Ciar MacDougall is on a vital mission for Scotland when he witnesses a murder—and is then blamed for the death and thrown into a Redcoat prison to rot. He never thought he'd be broken out by a slip of a lass and her faithful hound. But now they're outlaws on the run.
 
And as their enemies circle ever closer, he will have to choose between saving his country or the woman who's captured his heart.

An exciting adventure with two wonderful characters that win your heart from the beginning! A strong highlander, Laird Ciar MacDougal is attending a wedding as well as Emma Grant, who is the blind sister of Laird Robert Grant, Ciar's best friend. This is a major outing for Emma, being away from home and all that is familiar, but she has Ciar who seems to be close by to help. Ciar has always been protected and watchful for Emma but has never treated her as anything other than the special person she is... He also has a strong tendre for her but fears her brother would not welcome his suit of her. This is an amazing journey through terrible unsettling of the country, adventure, murder, and everything needed in a fabulous tale. Amy always brings the settings alive and her amazing characters become real. I highly recommend!

Marvelous romance with an unusual twist! I absolutely loved Ciar and Emma in this story! He's a gruff but tender-hearted brute of a man, inconveniently attracted to the young, blind sister of his staunch ally. Set during the turbulence of the 1714 Jacobite rising, Ciar finds himself falsely accused of murder and Emma is the only one in a position to help him. Emma is a delightful heroine, a woman who rises above her sheltered upbringing, demonstrating enormous bravery and poise despite the odds that are stacked so high against her. Ciar is truly a man of honor, and he treats Emma with all the gentleness and respect that any woman could want. The complex plot strikes a perfect balance between the romance and the action/adventure, flowing so easy that it was impossible to put down. I was swept away by the vibrant storytelling and evocative details. Their HEA was absolutely splendid, a perfect dream come true ending. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This book centers on the heroine, Emma Grant, who readers met in the fifth book in the Lords of the Highlands series in (THE HIGHLAND RENEGADE). Even though this is the last book in the “Lords of the Highlands” series. If you are a fan and have read each book then you are in for a big treat! As this novel is like a family reunion, as you will see the other heroes and heroines from previous books in this book too. I have absolutely loved each and every book in this captivating series. Of course not to worry you can read “The Highland Laird” as a stand alone book too. Ms. Jarecki fills the pages in this riveting, page turning, romantic adventure with all the elements that Scottish romance readers love. The multidimensional main and secondary characters both human and canine are brilliant. Though I think Albert was a bit of a stealer myself! Well I am a big dog lover so I love when dogs are in my stories. The setting was absolutely awe-inspiring, the dialogue was fantastic and the plotting was phenomenal. All in all I just loved this story so much!
