The Banished Highlander

Forbidden passion. Buried secrets. A love like no other.

Ruari Cameron considers himself a failure. His brother, Aedan, became chieftain of the Camerons upon their sire’s death, but Ruari was too young to serve as his second. Now, at eight and 20 summers, he still has no defined position within the clan. He has no children, either, and his marriage ended so horribly he refuses to consider marrying again.

Determined to prove himself, once and for all, he pours himself into the goal of becoming Aedan’s second...until he meets a young lass for whom he’ll risk everything.

When Juliana meets Ruari, she’s instantly attracted to him, but she knows it’s not to be. She has two choices for the future: become a nun, like her sister, or marry the powerful older suitor her sire favors. She wants neither choice, but no one has asked her for her opinion. No one except for Ruari. The Highlander makes her dream of another life, one in which she can have love and bairns, but her family's secrets tug her away from him.

Although pursuing a novice might cost Ruari the position he covets, he cannot stay away from Juliana. But, will their forbidden love cost them both everything they hold dear?

keira has done it again. so refreshing to listen to her books. Absolutely wonderful stories

something different

Has an interesting storyline and characters. it's worth listening to. The ending is better than expected.

Great addition to the Cameron’s

Love this book and the details just gave great depth to the story. Love it!

Ruari & Juliana

Heartfelt & Heartbreaking!Ruari & Juliana’s characters were delightful. Their love story had some humor, tears, and drama. Ruari had an arranged marriage and is now a widower. He saves Juliana from being kidnapped and they have instant attraction. Juliana’s father made arrangements for her to marry or to join the Abbey like her sister.
Ruari’s character is sweet, honorable, and he has so much self doubt. Narrator did a great job.

4.5 Ish

I wish there was a 10 star rating system because this is definitely a very good book, but it’s not the same kind of 5 star book the way Georgette Heyer or some of Loretta Chase or Eloise James’ novels are for me.
Anyway, the characters were good. The plot was interesting and there were no silly misunderstandings. Scotland is always fun!
