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)

'tis the truth...if I hear that phrase again..grrr

Would you listen to Never Love a Highlander again? Why?

Yes, it's a good listen-great story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Caelen...he is a manly warrior! What's not to love?

Which scene was your favorite?

SPOILER ALERT:


When Caelen & Rionna finally agree on the news they receive regarding an heir near the end of the book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Sure-when I read/listen I usually want to!

Any additional comments?

"Tis the truth" seemed to be used in almost every other exchange...aaargg! The underlying feminism was annoying too.

Great series; read them in order...my favorites go in order Book 2, Book 1 and finally this one!

Excellent End to the Series

The narrator did a great job. I was very interested to see how this story would go after the end of book 2 and it did not disappoint. I loved Caelen and Rionna's story and the author did a great job of writing strong characters that are also likable. This book was great and I highly recommend this series.

A love story with a warrior princess

This story made me cry, laugh, and swoon !! The heroine was strong , capable, and smart! While the hero was broody and stubborn. The last couple of chapters were a whirlwind of emotion and it was a beautiful ride!

Loved all 3 of these stories!

These highlander stories are charming, romantic, and entertaining. There's humor, love, loyalty, bravery, and tons of martial 'loving' as they would say :)
