An unclaimed land in the Scottish isles is ruled by the male and female victors in a series of war games every five years. Named Chief and Lady of the land, they rule the vast holding and protect the people by divine right until the next game begins. After her brother's death, Ceana is named laird. The only way for her clan to survive the ravages of the Highlands is to join in the war games. Bastard son of a powerful earl, Macrath is placed in the games by his vengeful stepmother. He must survive for the ultimate retribution. Ceana can't stand the arrogant Highlander who seems to be following her, and yet she can't seem to walk away. Macrath wants nothing more than to be rid of the troublesome need to protect the warrior lass. What starts out as a race to survive turns into passion to endure together.

Contains mature themes.

There was no hope or justice for anyone. The Bad guys got of easy and even though it is like true life no real justice you would think that in a book at least one of the nice ones could have been spared

Well written but, I enjoy books for the take away from my everyday reality. This book stressed me completely out waiting to see who lived and who died…….

Having not yet read the hunger games novels past a quick synopsis, I still recognize plot elements from that storyline. Fine by me with the overall good storytelling and Scottish setting! Nice sizzle in the romantic themes. The narrator voice and pace were great, but inaccurate Scottish pronunciations pulled me out of the story many times.

What a different concept. Well written and narrated. It had its sad moments. But yet still managed a happily ever after.

I really enjoyed this book. I wasn’t sure I would when reading the description, but it turned out to be addicting and fun. The Romance package has this books steaminess rated as “hot damn”, but I am not sure I can agree. I find it barely sizzling. Either way, it’s a great adventure!

Great book!

This storyline was copied from The Hunger Games, which also was a very dark series. Even the title Highland Hunger reflects that. The book was quite morbid and depressing. For the story to end on their wedding night was disappointing as well. At the very least there should have been a lengthy epilogue describing how the main characters were able to bring relief to their poor clansmen and better the lives of the people of Scotland. An epilogue could have covered the destruction and removal of the Council and their powers, ending the games once and for all. I want to know what revenge was taken against the cruel soldiers who insulted, violated and injured the main characters. What justice did they seek against them? The ending left me feeling empty and unfulfilled. Sadly, this book is not one of this author’s better works.

Very dark storyline.

I have read most of Ms. Knights books and enjoyed all of them. This one however, was far too dark, evil and depressing for my taste. I enjoy reading to escape from reality, but this was too stressful a read. It seemed to be the Hunger Games in a different time period. I considered putting it back on the shelf several times. Now that it’s finished I find myself wanting to see how the rest of the series plays out. Hopefully the remainder will not be as cruel and barbaric as this one.
