Vonda Sinclair has written a breathtaking Scottish Historical that readers will eat up in one sitting! My Wild Highlander is a crisp, romantic, fast paced adventure set in the Highlands of Scotland, 1618. From the first pages, sparks fly between Lady Angelique Drummagan and Sir Lachlan MacGrath. A Kings unexpected declaration sets their fate and their lives will never be the same. Intrigue, danger, and passion intertwine with mutual respect and make My Wild Highlander a satisfying, memorable read. The love scenes are penned with the mature reader in mind and do not overshadow the detailed plot and compelling relationship that grows between Angelique and Lachlan with the passage of time. This is book two in Ms. Sinclair's Highlander series, a perfect complement to the first book, My Fierce Highlander. I am looking forward to the next book in this amazing Highlander series!

From the classy way she told the love story of Lachlan MacGrath and Lady Angelique Drummagan. And they obstacles that are put in their way, to make this a real page turner that is hard to put down.
From the beginning as we find out about Lachlan, womanizer of the Highlands. He has had his run of the countryside and has now met his match in Angelique. He has saved one of the King's trusted men so the king in return bestows upon Lachlan the fiery Angelique. Along with marriage to Angelique come land and a title.
Angelique knows of Lachlan's womanizing and doesn't hold much in him being faithful to her. She has a hard time with trust and doesn't want to have a man in her life, let alone her bed. From the start the kisses that Lachlan bestows upon on Angelique leave her wanting more. And more is exactly where they head. The steaminess of passion comes off the pages and makes you want to keep reading to find out just what happens.
Throughout the whole story we find a very classy and crisp romance that takes us to not only the bedroom but outside where we find that sometimes to make things work you must do things together and work hand in hand. TRUST!
From the beginning Lachlan wants to prove to Angelique that he can be trusted. He sells his beloved dagger to get a special ring as a token to her. And as he wins over her people and surrounding clans he feels that this just may work.
But with many great stories there is always an adversary and this is no different. A distant relative feels he is entitled to the title and the land. Of which he wants to hold for his nephew. In the meantime he wins over some of the clansman that had sworn their allegiance to Lachlan. As the story unfolds a man from Angelique's past joins forces with a woman that wants Lachlan and with Angelique's distant relative.
Angelique is on her way to trusting Lachlan completely when the past hits them and they are once again on the run.Forced to leave their new home they head to the Highland's where Lachlan's family is at in search of help and hopefully healing.
As they work together they end up putting the past to rest and finally get things cleared up so that there is no doubt that they are made for each other. Only to find out that trust and love go hand in hand.
Ms. Sinclair's My Wild Highlander is a must read and one that I recommend and will read again. I look forward to the next Highland Adventure.

I loved Ms. Sinclair's first book My Fierce Highlander so much I had to try her latest. And I was not disappointed! From her spunky heroine to her incredibly sexy and charming hero, this book had me riveted from the first page. Lots of action, danger, romance and even some laughs. This book has it all. I really hope there's more to come in this series. I don't want it to end!

Seeking a place in life though, Lachlan see's his new matrimonial and Chieftain status as a way to prove his worth and responsibility, the intense attraction he feels towards his new wife is just an added bonus. Lady Angelique Drummagan isn't falling for his roguish charms though and refuses to believe him to be an honest man. Although when danger threatens, Angelique must rely on Lachlan to protect her and their clan position. Can Angelique learn to trust Lachlan though with more than just her body before it's too late? Or will an enemy from the past destroy their fragile marriage before it even has a chance to begin?
Action and adventure, emotion turmoil and sexual tension, humor and romance - My Wild Highlander has it all!
If you loved My Fierce Highlander or just drool over Scottish romances in general then I recommend you reading this book. It's a wonderful addition to the first novel in the series but can be read as a standalone without a problem. Vonda Sinclair has exceptional writing skills, grabbing you right on the first page and plummeting you into the story, not letting you go until the very end. And even then you're left wanting more! I became so attached to Lachlan's character that I literally wanted to smack Angelique numerous times for not giving him a chance and always expecting the worst. It drove me crazy how icy she was towards Lachlan no matter how sweet and understanding he was in return. But getting so worked up about a character is a sign of great writing! J Most importantly, Vonda gives readers another beautiful ending that had me smiling when I closed my book.err.reader. Lol I'm looking forward to Dirk's story next and it can't come soon enough! Vonda Sinclair is an author to keep your eye, I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more amazing works from her!
