My One True Highlander

wonderful romance set in the wilds of the Highlands. Kidnapped twice, Ree must decide if she can give up London and find true love with Graeme, a poor viscount, and while taming his brothers. Graeme must learn to love freely and be willing to cede some control of his life to Ree for things to work between them. Love abounds.

I received an advanced copy in exchange for a review. I loved these characters. I had a hard time putting this book down and ended up finishing it in a day. I loved how Marjorie dealt with the unexpected situations that came her way. Graeme is a hero who is easy to fall in love with. He cares about his family and will do what it takes to protect them. He is a leader with a soft side and although busy, makes time for his family.

This was an absolute treasure to read. Suzanne Enoch swept me away to another time and place with her detailed descriptive narrative and before I knew it, the words faded away and I was absorbed in it. Extremely well written and crafted, a great story with a really good build and pace. Lovable, complex characters that made this story, so entertaining, laugh out loud, funny, and who struggled against their underlying sizzling attraction for one another with constant bickering. But what makes a romance story great for me is that I could watch them fall for each other, feel their protectiveness for one another and even more so feel the anticipation, the want, the desire that they feel for one another. I loved every word! What a gem! Highly Recommended! I voluntarily requested an ARC through the publisher via NetGalley and wrote an honest review.

I enjoy reading Suzanne's books. There is a lot of trouble and happy in between. This is set in Scotland. Graeme has problems with his clan. He is poor for a Viscount, what with running his clan and his 3 young brothers. The boys get together to kidnap Lady Marjorie to make her brother. a Duke, to give them money to help Graeme. Graeme locks her up. Major Spoiler. Then he has to kidnap her companion. Spoiler. I like Connel, the youngest one, who saves every hurt or lost animal and hides them in the Castle! Dunncraich is the highest chief as a Duke. He is evil and dangerous. He hears of the Lady and comes to get her for blackmail. Major Spoiler! He faces Graeme and the Duke of Lattimer. Marjorie puts them all in their places. For awhile. I love the Highlands even though I won't get there. I learned some things I never knew. I liked this story. I hope you will choose to read this book. You will enjoy this book! I volunteered to read and review this book.

My One True Highlander is a perfectly paced, humorous, and highly entertaining historical fiction romance. I loved it! Marjorie Forrester was stunned by her sudden status and wealth. Her brother, unexpectedly, became the new Duke of Lattimer, and she a Lady. Marjorie’s brother generously gave her a lavish home in London to enjoy. The transition, however, was proving to be a difficult one. Lady Marjorie hired a companion to help her become accepted by London’s polite society; something she has always wanted. Marjorie was tired of listening to her companion’s lectures on how improper and unsafe it was, to show up at the Duke of Latimer’s castle, unannounced. Lady Marjorie was aware that her companion was only concerned for her welfare, but what kind of surprise would it be, if her brother knew when to expect her? Lady Marjorie was furious when she found herself kidnapped in Scotland and shackled to a bedpost. How dare the despicable Scottish barbarian lock her up without so much as an explanation. Oh, how she wished she would have listened to her companion. However, the longer Lady Marjorie stayed in Graeme Maxton’s home, the more she realized how lucky she had been. There was a war going on between clans and not only was she right smack in the middle of it; she was also the prized pawn. Lady Marjorie shuddered to think of what could have happened if the opposing clan had been the one to kidnap her. I enjoyed this laugh-out-loud historical fiction novel immensely. It’s superbly written with witty dialogue, likable characters, and a captivating plot. I especially loved the hysterical banter between Laird Graeme Maxton and Lady Marjorie Forrester! Thank you, St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley, for my advanced review copy.
