Publisher's summary

Caelen McCabe's young, reckless heart nearly destroyed his clan. Now, putting family loyalty above all else, he steps up to marry his older brother's jilted bride and salvage the uneasy alliance between two clans. While beautiful Rionna McDonald is a fit wife for any man, Caelen trusts no woman, especially not this sweet temptress who torments him with white-hot longing.

As the sacrificial lamb in her father's power game, Rionna will do her duty but vows to protect her heart and her pride from humiliation. Despite everything, though, the heat in Caelen's touch melts her defenses, and she craves the sensual delights of a husband who guards his emotions as fiercely as his clan. But when the ultimate battle for the McCabe legacy is upon them, Rionna's true warrior spirit emerges. She will risk the wrath of her father, the fury of her enemies, and her life to prove to Caelen that his wife's love is too precious to lose.

Critic reviews

"Banks nicely balances bedroom and battlefield action as Rionnas tough swordsmanship and Caelens tender lust propel the couple and the clans toward harmony." ( Publishers Weekly)

The narrator makes these books possible.

I have now listened to all three books within 3 days. The narrator has made each book so special and commands the emotions from the characters to come to life.
The story continuously leaves you wanting more.
Highly recommend.

This was 1 of the best

KP did an excellent job narrating; I felt ever emotions. So sad it's over...

Always Love a Highlander!

Would you consider the audio edition of Never Love a Highlander to be better than the print version?

No, they both have their merits.... The story is great either way

What did you like best about this story?

Always loved Calen, the youngest McCabe brother. He tries so hard to be cynical,about women and love, but you can feel deep down, he wants love more than anything. You get the feeling that he had a little crush on Riona when she was engaged to his brother Aleric..
and Riona rocks... she is a sword wielding, pants wearing, 16th century biker chick, who embraces her new husband, and is determined to make him love her.

What does Kirsten Potter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They cast her perfectly, her voice is smooth and clear, her character voices are all different, so you know who is speaking.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Discover the Heat of the HIghlands

Good book.

This was a great read. The storyline was well written. The only negative is there was just a bit too many sex scenes.
