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)

Fantastic!

This one touched my heart. A warrior woman that risked it all and fought for her husbands life. Go greater love than this. The Narriator was fantastic!

Best BOOK OF THE BROTHERS. BEST HEROINE

I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED. I KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT THE YOUNGEST BROTHER WAS GOING TO BE MY FAVORITE AND ON MY HEART IT WAS TRUE. From the women, KYLIE WAS MEH, THE FIRST ONE (marie?) WAS OK. BUT RIONNA WAS THE BEST OF ALL. SHE IS THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST. YET STILL HOLD THE DEFINITION OF A WOMAN.

IF YOU CAME UP WITH THIS BOOK FIRST I SUGGEST READING THE OTHER 2 FIRST. They're still good dont get me wrong but the history of the other characters are there.

dammit the real feels I got on the latest chapters dammit dammit. its 2021 covid is still around and I'm so damn happy I got to listen to this. I want to give kristen potter 100 points as always I look forward for more from this author too!!!!!


edit: I re listened to this book again not the whole series. it is still my favorite, best brother and best female protagonist. I love how the heroine is not strong but also true on her feelings. she is not annoying, she is determined on her feelings as a woman and as a wife, her possessiveness towards the hero is so refreshing, she wont back down until she hears what she wants to hear. the hero is not a wuss, just the grumpy style but you need to read the other 2 books to understand, this book gives more story about him as well. his acceptance and his love for rionna made me smile so big while I listened. he is strong and also determined, he is not mean to the heroine nor abusive. 10/10 need more pinning woman that doesn't back down and also heals the hero's soul.

Great Series

Great series! Awesome storylines, and hot/steamy love scenes!!! I loved these books. Even the last one where the love scenes die down but true storyline and action is still there... But I was glad to go back and enjoy the full talent that is usually a Maya Banks story! Also, great narration!!!!!!

I want more!!

I love these books with a passion! I'm sad this is the last book. I want more! If you love Scottish romances then this series is for you!

Excellent ending to the series.

Great book, Great listen. I really like this series. The story has the most important highland hero, but also love, laughter and some suspense. All wrapped up it made for a great series. Sex scenes were a little to explicit for my taste but otherwise good listen.

Great book, read on two days.

a good love story, although I do wish the animosity aspect of their relationship was more pronounced because eits so fun to see the hero and heroine soften to each other's will.

Good!

Betrayal, war, loyalty, honor & sexy hot!

This has a unique storyline. There's plenty of humor to lighten some of the intense moments. My favorite humorous scene was when Kaelin left surprise gift for Rionna during Ewan's visit. The sex scenes make you want your own McCabe man. Mmm. Hot! Fantastic narrator!

Very cute book 📚

An enjoyable read. Written well... although not overly descriptive of the highlands or the castles etc, it's good. I hope to read more of this authors works.
