Publisher's summary

Lady Arbella de Mowbray abhors the idea of marrying an English noble occupying Scotland. When she arrives in Stirling, she is thrown into the midst of a full battle between the Scots and the English. Besieged by rebels, she is whisked from her horse by a Highland warrior who promises her safety. But when he kisses her she fears she's more in danger of losing herself.

The last thing Magnus Sutherland wants is to marry the beautiful English lass he saved. As the laird of his clan, he has a responsibility to his clan and allies. But when Arbella is attacked by one of his own men, he determines the only way to keep her safe is to make her his. A decision that promises to be extremely satisfying. Magnus brings Arbella to his home of Dunrobin Castle in the Highlands. And that's where the trouble begins… Their countries are at war and they should be each other's enemy. Neither one considered their mock marriage would grow into a deeply passionate love. What's more, they were both unhappily betrothed and those who've been scorned are out for revenge. Can their new-found love keep them together or will their enemies tear them apart?

So sweet

This is one of the sweetest stories. Usually when it’s an English women, they make them so disagreeable and snotty. I love that she was rational and sweet. Magnus was a dream man. I loved the whole book.

Excellent

Great story great narration! No unnecessary angst, narrator did a great job with the male parts,very enjoyable worth the credit.

Good Easy Listen.....sweet

this was a nice easy listen...which is what I wanted. Mostly character interaction and romance with little history or battles. A few love scenes so it's R rated but not too bad, but mostly just a good little happy listen. I'm planning on listening to the whole series. Good housework..chicken coop & barn cleaning listen.

Historical/ Addictive/ Fun!

Lady Arbella is my character soul - she's grown up with brothers, willing to handle herself in anyway needed in a situation, and spunky. Although a very brave and willful character, the author didn't go too far in her creation - Arbella still feels like a woman of the past - her character is very real. Loved every moment of this book.

Magnus is powerful, sensual, and perfect without being too overbearing like some H men. He's super sweet to Arbella, and together they make a perfect match.

Together they must find love and believe in each other while spurned betroths breath down their necks.

I listened to this novel on Audible, and the narrator did a fantastic job in differentiating the characters.

A Rewarding Listen!

I adore highland romance, and this book is no exception. It's my first historical romance by Eliza Knight and I equally enjoyed the story and the narration. I recommend this to readers who enjoy yummy highlanders!

quick passed and entertaining

each book in the series can stand alone without a lot of back story. The story is told in the point of view of the two main characters which I found refreshing

great story

surprise 😊

I was surprised and grateful that this was a good read. most of all I will check out more books 📚

Fantasy Time!

Parts of "The Highlander's Reward" were so unbelievable it was humorous. Many times I found myself shaking my head and smiling. It wasn't a bad book--it all depends on what you are looking for. I don't mind a little fantasy...humor is a good thing, even if it was not written to be humorous, in my opinion.

Eliza Knight is a talented author with the ability to create mental pictures without the use of boring 'filler words', and Corrie James' performed well.

Although the sexual content was explicit the scenes did not dominate the story, as in some Highland stories.

Seriously?

He rescued her. He married her to keep her safe. They fell in love. She was pregnant...in two weeks? Ta da. Oh, England and Scotland were at war, but all three clanspeople mentioned in the book loved her at once? Seems there were no others because she had no interactions with anyone else. William Wallace came to visit, and had no problem being around the English lord he had soundly beaten in a battle the last week. I feel bad for saying something negative about the narrstoe, but everyone sounded like American high schoolers trying out for a play. I am not going beyond this in the series.
