Description

A captive who dreams of her freedom

In public, violinist Elizabeth Duncan is the toast of the entertainment world. A prodigy who's been wowing audiences with her music since she was only twelve years old. But behind closed doors, she's desperate to escape the man who's turned her passion into a prison. When the specter of violence becomes more than a threat, she sacrifices everything to run.

A hero lost without a mission

Former special forces operative Ewan McBride has done everything he's supposed to since leaving the military: Moved home. Bought a new business. Integrated into the community. But he's just going through the motions. Until he rescues a woman in trouble in the midst of a terrible storm.

A sanctuary and an unexpected new beginning

Ewan recognizes a woman on the run and can't resist the urge to help. The danger from her past is certain to come calling. The safest place for her? With him. But as they live and work together, what starts as a self-appointed protective detail becomes so much more. With her, he finds his own safe place to land. But when their fragile fresh start is threatened, he'll do anything to protect her.

    There are so incredibly many things I love about this Kilted Hearts series. OMGOSH!!! Where to start!?! They are ALL ‘Swooneworthy’! Ewan is just the perfect hero. Has a super support system, from his own family who are absolutely the bomb, from his sister and parents, to his awesome cousins, to his friends that are more like extended family, to the awesome guys he served with. Isobel has absolutely NO ONE. What Ewan does for her makes me swoon. He introduces her into his support system, and they become much more for her. Having friends and family is something she has always dreamed of. And Ewan saves her. Rescues her from danger, her situation, her abuser and gives her so much than she ever hoped for. I just loved this so incredibly much I had to read it twice before I even reviewed it! Cannot wait for the next ones!!! Bring on Hamish and Afton’s story and Ciara and Alex’s!!!♥️

    Protector in a Kilt is the fourth full length book set within the Kilted Hearts series, but reads well as a stand alone. Isobel is running from her present problems when a storm hits and she needs rescuing from Ewan. He knows she’s not telling him everything and that their time together is limited, but he can’t help protecting Isobel and wanting so much more with her. As she faces her issues, can this couple find a future together? Oh my goodness, this book was absolutely fantastic! I loved Isobel and Ewan’s story and I loved how it fit into the series as a whole! There’s a lot of really good emotions described within these pages, some steamy scenes, but mostly there’s just this authentic connection that forms between Isobel and Ewan that you can’t help but cheer for. I loved Isobel. She was running from a lot, but she was also running towards what she wanted and needed. A man might not have fit into that plan initially, but dang, the support and trust, protection and love that Ewan shows her is just so good. I adored how the town rallied behind her, her situation, and wanted to protect her and build her up just as much as Ewan did. I loved the sense of urgency and drama that was present within the book, and I felt like I was practically on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what would happen next in the story. I’m a huge fan of this book, and this series, and highly recommend both!
  • Always love a kilt!

    I think this may be my favorite so far in the series! I couldn’t put it down. As always, the characters are great, the settings amazing, and the love is palpable between the main characters and among the whole town! Definitely recommend!
  • A great, fated pairing

    Renowned violinist, Elizabeth Duncan (Isobel), can no longer deal with her manager’s cruelty and abuse. She makes a decision that will change her life. Evan McBride, returning from a camping trip with his friends from his time in the Royal Marines, happens upon an accident in the middle of a terrible storm. He reaches out to assist the occupant. Little does he realize that he’s stumbled over someone who will impact his life in ways he never dreamed. Fate brings the two together, but it’s up to them to figure out how to make it stick. This was a quick, fun, and entertaining read. I loved the characters. They were perfectly matched, different in many ways, but wanting the same things out of life. The writing, as always from this author, was delightful. Having such a strong cast of characters, especially those in Ewan’s extended family, offered such wonderful support for both of them. Those characters add so much warmth to the story, every one of them. I also loved Havoc, Ewan’s sweet 130 pound dog, who instantly took to Isobel and helped her through some rough moments. I loved this book, as I have all the others in this series. I look forward to Hamish’s story, which is the next one coming up in the series. I highly recommend this book and the entire Kilted Hearts series. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the author. I thank her for her generosity, but it had no effect on this review. All opinions in this review reflect my true and honest reactions to reading this book.

    Protector in a Kilt is book 4 in the Kilted Hearts series by Kait Nolan. Up next is Ewan McBride and Isobel Donnchadh (public persona Elizabeth Duncan).4.5 stars Ewan, former military has come home, bought a business and has integrated into the community but still not sure where his life is going until he rescued Isobel in a terrible storm. He senses she’s on the run but something tells him he needs to protect her…what happens next is suspense, secrets, hiding in plain sight, abusive work relationship, freedom, making friends and more… I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
