Publisher's summary

Caelen McCabe's young, reckless heart nearly destroyed his clan. Now, putting family loyalty above all else, he steps up to marry his older brother's jilted bride and salvage the uneasy alliance between two clans. While beautiful Rionna McDonald is a fit wife for any man, Caelen trusts no woman, especially not this sweet temptress who torments him with white-hot longing.

As the sacrificial lamb in her father's power game, Rionna will do her duty but vows to protect her heart and her pride from humiliation. Despite everything, though, the heat in Caelen's touch melts her defenses, and she craves the sensual delights of a husband who guards his emotions as fiercely as his clan. But when the ultimate battle for the McCabe legacy is upon them, Rionna's true warrior spirit emerges. She will risk the wrath of her father, the fury of her enemies, and her life to prove to Caelen that his wife's love is too precious to lose.

Critic reviews

"Banks nicely balances bedroom and battlefield action as Rionnas tough swordsmanship and Caelens tender lust propel the couple and the clans toward harmony." ( Publishers Weekly)

MY FAVORITE MAYA BANKS BOOK SO FAR!

What did you love best about Never Love a Highlander?

I loved Rionna McDonald and her relationship with Caelen McCabe. She is so misunderstood in the beginning until you get to know her. And hearing the two of them together and how their relationship grows and changes is great!

What other book might you compare Never Love a Highlander to and why?

So this was the first book I listened to in this series not knowing there were previous books. However I must say this was my favorite of all three!! I loved these two characters the best as there is so much more to them that meets the eye!

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

Since listening to my first book from her, I have always thought she was great! I would recommend her narration any time. Her accents and the way she can change from character to character is amazing! Love her!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! For sure...I have a hard time stopping!

Any additional comments?

Wish it didn't have to end! :)

Love these Highlanders!

I hate that the series seems to have ended, bittersweet. I hope she continues with the kids! The narrative was again awesome. I have some books I can't even finish because the reader is awful.

Always a good bet

Personally I have a bit of a problem with some of this writer's "present day" works, but her historical romances are always a good bet. Written with enough emotion, drama, and action to keep me satisfied. Narrator did a real good job with differing her voice for each character, and did not overplay or downplay the narrative.

Oh Ms. Banks

Seriously, I have loved this series for years!!! I recently purchased them instead of borrowing them from my library and couldn’t be more pleased!! Her heroine is a strong woman and her man is a strong man both with big hearts and obstacles to overcome. Highlander romance at its best!!

Maya Banks doesn't disappoint.

I adored this series! Each story develops the two main characters until you are pulled into the story and you are desperate to see the love between them growing into a passionate bond you can't wait to see building to a love that you can only hope to find yourself.

I can't wait to read more of Maya's stories. They are mesmerizing!

Forever love a Highlander

Wow, what a good way to end the trilogy. The baddest of the brothers McCade and finally a tough female who comes through just as strong but can still have the feminine softness when needed. All I can say is you go girl!!! Talk about protecting her man. I enjoyed this who series from the first book to this last one.

Sooo Good!

This story is just so very well written. Maya Banks takes you on an adventure that you can’t stop listening to. The narrator is very good as well her Scottish accent is not overdone, it’s very natural. I really enjoyed this book and it’s very saucy as well.
