Book three in Monica McCarty's USA Today bestselling Highland Guard Trilogy, of which Publishers Weekly raved, "Readers who deplore wallpaper historicals will appreciate not only the romance but McCarty's efforts to go beyond the superficialities of historical Scotland."
Embedded deep behind enemy lines, Arthur “Ranger” Campbell is prized for his razor-sharp senses and his ability to blend into the shadows. But when Arthur infiltrates the clan of the chieftain who murdered his father, his heart is locked on revenge. Inside he faces unexpected resistance from the sweetest of obstacles—a honey-haired siren who is his enemy’s daughter. Intrigued by this ruggedly handsome newcomer to her father’s forces, the vivacious, enchanting Anna MacDougall is a woman whose skill at uncovering deception rivals Arthur’s own.
Though yearning for a quiet life with a good man to love, Anna is drawn to this mysterious knight whose eyes devour her but whose words push her away. As danger, treachery, and the threat of looming war draw them closer into each other’s arms, a warrior made of steel must make a choice from the heart: love or revenge.

"VT. FAN"
TOP 50 (I HAVE 512)
I ALWAYS LOVE THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE REST OF MCCLOUDS WARRIORS. THE PASSION BETWEEN ANNA AND CAMPBELL WAS V.E.R.Y GOOD.
IN THE BEGINNING WHEN HE FIRST MEETS ANNA AND SAVES HER LIFE.
THE WHOLE BOOK MOVED ME. THIS IS A GREAT SERIES. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE DIFFERENT NARRATIORS IN SOME OF MCCARTY'S BOOKS AND THEY ARE ALL VERY GOOD MCNAB DOES A GREAT JOB ON THE HIGHLAND GUARD SERIES. HE COULD IMPROVE ON THE FEMALE VOICE I THINK ( HIS VOICE IS VERY DEEP AND LOW, SENSUAL FOR THE MALE VOICES SO I OVERLOOK THE FEMALE VOICE SHORTCOMINGS.)
I've become a sucker for Audible. I love audiobooks, to the point of addiction. Especially a good romance audiobook... :)
"Excellent! Monica Mccarty's best series!"
Oh my. I've now listened to every single McCarty book on Audible. I must say that her highland Guard series is my very favorite.
Each book is better than the last, and this one is wonderful.
If you're trying to decide where to start with Monica McCarty books, read this series. While Robert Mcnab takes some getting used to, it is well worth it. The Highland Guard series is excellent!!!
Start with The Chief, The Hawk, then The Ranger.
I am sad that the rest of the series is not available. I hope fans will write to Recorded Books, Audible and Tantor media, and let them know we are waiting for the rest of this extraordinary series.
"Wonderful series!"
I love this series and the books cannot be available too soon. The way the author uses eal history and developes such a wonderful romance is unique. I love to listen to Monica McCarty and will continue to look for more!
"Amazing Series"
I haven't read the print version so I cannot compare fairly!
The realistic history research this author has done!
RANGER! :)
The ending! :)
If you are a highland romance fan, you have to read this series! One of the best out there!
"Other Rangers Stand Up Better to This One"
If one searches for adventure, no; for sex and romance, yes!
No, he lacks the necessary authentic Scottish Brogue, rarely did it come through. Rather, he sounded more like one of the cartoon characters on my grandson's shows. Stilted and pompus. He made the heroin sound weak and dependant rather than the stong willed adventerous lady of Monica's creation.
Not necessarily, I enjoy listening when I drive. If its a long enough drive-one sitting does it, but I like the continuation
"Another hit by Monica"
I enjoy all of Monica's Highland books. Lots of action and adventures to keep you reading.
