Publisher's summary

Genevieve McInnis is locked behind the fortified walls of McHugh Keep, captive of a cruel laird who takes great pleasure in ruining her for any other man. Yet when Bowen Montgomery storms the gates on a mission of clan warfare, Genevieve finds that her spirit is bent but not broken. Still, her path toward freedom remains uncertain. Unable to bear the shame of returning to a family that believes her dead or to abandon others at the keep to an imposing new laird, Genevieve opts for the peaceful life of an abbess. But Bowen's rugged sensuality stirs something deep inside her that longs to be awakened by his patient, gentle caress - something warm, wicked, and tempting.

Bowen seizes his enemy's keep, unprepared for the brooding and reclusive woman who captures his heart. He's enchanted by her fierce determination, her unusual beauty, and her quiet, unfailing strength. But wooing her will take more than a seasoned seducer's skill. For loving Genevieve, he discovers, means giving her back the freedom that was stolen from her - even if it means losing her forever.

A Melodramatic Tale

"Most Wanted" picks up where "Never Seduce..." leaves off. As other readers have already mentioned, this story is wrought with genuine emotional torment. This isn't the typical romance... this story delves into real personal pain. In the first edition, the reader is briefly introduced to the effects of the malevolent character of Ian McHugh. As the plot unfolds, we learn of Genevieve and all she endured during her year of captivity in the hands of the McHughs. Banks has a knack for truly disseminating personal bits of each character whilst unveiling the plot. Also characteristic of Banks, the reader is destined to take an emotional journey.

Kirsten Potter is an exceptional narrator... she wows the reader with her interpretation. Don't be surprised if Genevieve's experience makes you want to cry (especially near the end).

Can't get enough!!!!!

Where does Highlander Most Wanted rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is in my top 10 and it's only the second of the series and the first is also in the top 10 so that should say a lot.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Highlander Most Wanted?

Find out the details of Genevieve and the torture she went through and what she did to get her freedom. It was in best terms messed up but it was a necessary evil. After you listen I'm sure you would think to yourself, "heck yeah, I would have done that too"....

Have you listened to any of Kirsten Potter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I listened to her in the first book, "Never Seduce a Scot" and I loved her in that book as well which is another reason why it made getting this book such a great decision. I wish I would have known about this book prior to spending a credit on a book recommend by the concierge.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I just loved that everything was so feasible. Nothing was too far fetched and seemed to be very realistic. Kirsten brought all the characters to life.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book and while I believe it would be best to listen to them in order this book could stand alone because it does answer any backdrop questions you may have while listening. You will go through a roller coaster of emotions...well at least I did. I laughed, got angry at some of the bad treatment of the heroine, and again as w/the other book got a little teary eyed.

NICE FEEL GOOD STORY

I read the book first before getting it on audio and in my opinion, this is the best Highlander based story that I have read or listened to.
Both books in the series are good! I really loved this one, it was so heartwarming and delightful to listen to. When you listen to the narration, you get a sense of what the characters face as opposed to just reading it. I found this story so enjoyable just because it gives you that perspective of so many different emotions that take place.
It was good to read a story with a romance appeal (not just lots of sex) and it made me cry too when I read it the first time, then again when I listened!
I just hope that more books come out of this series with some of the other characters.

Almost brought me to tears!!

I actually got misty eyed reading this book !! First time in my life this has happened. Excellent story telling. So believable! (Or maybe I’m just a sad sap of emotions) Either way, this book just secured a place in my top 5 favorite books! Well done Maya Banks!!

Outstanding!

If I could give 10 stars for this book, I would. I absolutely loved this storyline. The compassion, love, and patience Bowen showed Genevieve was heartwarming to read.

Fantastic story!

This book is as good as the first in this series. Wonderful story with wonderful characters. The narration was absolutely amazing!

too easy

I enjoyed the story, great narration but thought it did an Injustice to abused women to have Genevieve so easily changed to being whole again.

An emotional Rollercoaster & a Great Ride

This was a slow build to an explosion of emotions! A wonderful story that made me cry, laugh, and cry even more. The story rocked!

Maya Banks does it again

There are twist and turns and a great plot. Finally it is known who the mystery lady was. This is her story. If you like strong ladies this is your book. And what a great hero that finds her. I like the fact you don't have to have the first book or the next. Each one will stand on its own. There is murder, hate, love and a happy ever after. Along with some hot love going on.
Kristen Potter is always the best at telling the story. So use your creidt or spend your money either way its worth it.

Fantastic-Better Than the First-Cannot Wait 4 Next

If you could sum up Highlander Most Wanted in three words, what would they be?

Action, Redemption & Romance

This book is SO MUCH better than the first in the series (which wasn't bad, just felt like another Highland romance).

The characters have dimension, the plot has depth and there is a complexity & feeling that kept my attention. Riveting...

For loving Genevieve, he discovers, means giving her back the freedom that was stolen from her - even if it means losing her forever.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bowen Montgomery-a strong hero who saves the day more than once...

What does Kirsten Potter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Kirsten Potter's accent is spot on as far as this Yankee can tell.
