The king has
ordered that three clans fight to the death in order for one true winner of a
disputed glen. For James Cameron, ‘The Devil’ leads his men, determined to win
whatever the cost. He has no weaknesses or so his enemies think until he lays
eyes on a woman from a rival clan. One who takes his breath away and he is
drawn to the beauty.
Catriona
MacDonald knows what James ‘The Devil’ Cameron is all about. Her past dealings
with him reinforced that if you get involved with him, you are bound to get
scorched. But Catriona is determined to bring peace back to the land and
between the clans. But when James touches Catriona, all she knows is that she
needs him as much as he needs her. Two strong willed people determined to
succeed at whatever the cost. But will it leave them both with broken hearts?
This first
book into the world of highland clans, warriors and more is a wonderful
introduction to the world Ms. Welfonder has created. Three clans (The Camerons, The MacDonalds, and the Mackintoshes)
who have lived in peace are stirred up again when the heiress of the Glen of
Many Legends and didn’t leave a will over who will own and reign the glen. I
got to admit, the author does a great job in creating such a fantastic
introduction to the clans, the main characters and more. You get sucked into
the story immediately and you can’t help but fall in love with James and
Catriona as well. The writing is tight with a fast paced storyline that
captured my imagination from the first page to the last. I really enjoyed
finding out about all three clans and who the main players for each were.
The characters are very well written and I especially enjoyed the scenes
with James and Catriona. She was no milk & water lass at all. She was a
sassy heroine that gave as good as James when she went toe to toe with him.
James was hard as a warrior should be but also knew to yield when he was with
Catriona. The simmering sexual tension between these two was combustible. I
swore the book was going to go up in flames with all the sparks these two were
throwing around. The author does a great job in creating such intriguing
characters and there were a few secondary characters that made me want to know
more about them.
SINS OF A HIGHLAND DEVIL is one wild, pulse-pounding ride from
start to finish. With a fast paced storyline, captivating characters and more
within the pages of the first book in the Highland Warriors trilogy, the reader
gets swept away to a time where men were warriors and the women who can tame
them. If you enjoy a rousing and rollicking historical romance, then you need
to run to get this one. I guarantee you will be like me, eager for book two
once the last page of this one is turned. I can’t wait to see what happens next
in this series. Sue-Ellen Welfonder is fast becoming one of my new favorites to
read now.
