Ms. Quinn sets her romance right in the middle of the tumultuous time after the death of Oliver Cromwell, quite an unusual time setting, that you don’t find so often as the background of a romance novel.
Claire Stuart is captured by group of Roundheads and has to keep her real identity as well as her connection to the royal family a secret. Additional to that she is on the quest to save her sister from the treacherous Monck. Graham Grant gets the order from Monck to find the royalist rebel Connor Stuart, so decides to join forces with Claire, but he never thought he would fall in love with her.
Ms. Quinn manages to combine historical elements, political intrigues and romance into a fantastic and entertaining story. This is not the only thing that makes the read so enjoyable, because her cast of characters are absolutely enchanting. Claire is not the typical meek damsel in distress, but she is quite a feisty woman, who knows how to fight, thanks to her brother. She prefers to fight instead of doing the womanly arts. The hero Graham and his friend Robert Campbell are the impersonate dreams of Highlanders. Both are loyal to the boot, but also typical stubborn males.
Graham really meets his match with Claire and their relationship is explosive from the beginning. It’s very enjoyable to see how the feelings develop between them.
A HIGHLANDER NEVER SURRENDERS is the sequel of Ms. Quinn previous released book Laird of the Mist, but it can be read as a stand-alone, although I can recommend the book, too. You can never do anything wrong with a book by Ms. Quinn, if you are looking for a witty and sexy book.
