The Highlander's Holiday Wife

Clan Kendrick, Book 5

De: Vanessa Kelly

Narrado por: Ruth Urquhart

Filled with saucy wit, surprising twists, and unforgettable lovers, the latest novel in award-winning and USA Today bestselling author Vanessa Kelly's captivating historical romance series puts the most levelheaded Kendrick at the center of a passionate and perilous adventure.

It's Christmastime in Edinburgh, but Lady Samantha Penwith's secret mission takes no holiday: the Highlands-born lass vows to find the assailants who murdered her beloved husband, founder of a charitable school for orphaned boys. On her latest undercover excursion, she closes in on a pair of armed attackers and interrupts another assault, then disappears into the darkness, leaving the lone victim mystified—and lucky to be alive . . .

Braden Kendrick may be the sensible brother, yet the dedicated doctor routinely ignores the dangers of his late-night calls to the city's slums. But when a fleet-footed rescuer saves his life, he's determined to uncover the stranger's identity. And once he does, he'll find himself facing his own past loss for the first time—and more than willing to risk his heart again, just in time to make the Clan Kendrick's Christmas celebrations more festive than ever . . .

Contains mature themes.

Overall good read, despite ftb

I really enjoyed this story. There was almost a little bit of everything; romance, mystery, comedy, sorrow. I honestly was expecting a bit more steam though. There was an anticlimactic fade too black, which really surprised me because the rest of the series is at least a little steamy? I’m still hoping for, and planning to read Kade’s story, if that is released to end the series. Happy reading.

Love this family

Good story. I love the supporting characters. This one had a bit of everything, drama, romance, not so much steam, and of course, a happy ending.

Braden

Vanessa kelly you did it again with amazing story. It has drama, laughter and romance! I hope next one in the series has more of the family. Can't wait for #6. Ruth Urquhart is one of the best readers too !
