Lovely. Filled with angst, loyalty, betrayals & Love.It reminded me of Judith McNaught "Kingdom of Dreams".I certainly have something for: Scottish, Warrior, Marriage of Convenience, Enemies in the beginning. and this story had them all.its really interesting to see the relationship change from hatred to love ..

Well, after reading and reviewing Ms. MacLean’s first book in this trilogy, I wasn’t sure, No. 1, if I wanted to continue with the series, and, No. 2., what I would find if I decided to continue on. There’s so many issues I had with Captured by the Highlander, I knew a good many of them would show up in this book. And they did. But then I got a nice surprise.The first, roughly, half of this book is nearly a mirror of CbtH - hardened, tortured hero looking for revenge, taking back what is his, ke...

i love love love the book.it was a little interesting to see how Gwendolyn does not realize her dreams are premonitions of sorts and may not always be correct until she was claimed by her husband who laid siege to her castle to gain back his birthrightthey started out as enemies and slowly fell in love.betrayals lurk at every corner.who can gwendolyn trust.when will angus learn to trust gwen and realise that not everyone is the same?

I can't express how much I enjoyed this book — a great surprise after reading Captured by the Highlander, book one of the series, which I thought was enjoyable but not capturing. Claimed by the Highlander was capturing. So many Romance novels use the "I'm not worthy of love" or "love makes you weak" premise, but this book is the only one I can recall to have found believable. The shift of loath-to-love Angus was slow, but not to the point that it dragged. Gwendolen realizing she loved him was ea...

I can so imagine this book as one of those over-dramatic plays that you just cringe at but can't stop watching because it's so terrible.Our-so-called-Heroine: "Trust me because you know me for only a week and I already betrayed you but in all honesty you made me change my mind because of your dark wet kisses that has made me feel this tingle tingle feeling I've never felt before.-Tell me everything about yourself because I just have to know why you're this brooding dark hero who's angry at the w...

This book is a small and milder version of GOT. Less drama. Less characters. But dont get it wrong. It has many plot about betrayal and complexity from secondary characters. It is entertaining. I like Gwendoline fierceness. She is a kick ass heroine. She never gives up on her husband even though Angus has some doubt about her loyalty. I feel the middle of the book is dragging. And i think the plot getting thicker but resolved too quickly. So I only give this book 3 stars. 3 stars

I LOVED this book. I'm on a highlander binge, and have read so many highland stories from so many authors that my mind gets jumbled with all the clan names. This book was a particular treat. It is hard to think of forgiving Angus the Lion for his part on Duncan's capture in book one. But I urge readers to keep an open mind. While this book is part of a trilogy, it would work fine as a stand alone. I adore Gwen, one of the best heroines I've come across in a while. I was completely smitten with t...

Another great book to add to this series. In the previous book I took a disliking to Angus so I was worried about reading his story but a friend told me that I might even love Angus more that I did Duncan and she was right. Although Duncan/The Butcher is still my favourite, Angus was a fantastic Hero. The thing is with Duncan he was flirtacious, charming and had a great sense of humour. So we knew straight away even when he was taking Amelia hostage and trying his best to terrify her, that he

I enjoyed this book quite a bit more than the first in the series, Captured by the Highlander. I found myself engrossed in Angus and Gwendolen's story.We met Angus "The Lion" Macdonald in the first book in this series and we knew him as a very angry Scot seeking revenge against the English for the rape and murder of his sister. He seemed very lost in his grief and anger, so much so that he betrayed a friend and was exiled from his family home by his father.Captured by the Highlander starts when

3.5⋆Although it was really entertaining and they hate to love (is) relationship between Angus and Gwendolen got me hooked from the beginning, the plot dragged a little and "the Lion's" lack of confidence in his capacity of loving and being lovedgot too old really quickly. Also, I really didn't like the ending, way too rushed and clean. Up until the last few pages the book was a 4 stars to me, but then the last few pages ruined everything.

This book will also be going on my 'to be read again' pile. It was good for a number of reasons. I'm not sure how many romance novels I've read with the 'I'm unworthy of love and so I will never love you' trope, but there are a lot. This one is THE ONLY one I think I've read that it seemed believable. Usually I'm thinking, 'Sheesh, get over it already.' MacLean has a singular talent for making you understand the character's internal struggle and making it sound realistic.Gwendolen's struggle wit...

Well, this was a book for people that only want their "romance" novels filled with insecurities, distrust, and plenty of random sex. I really felt no connection to either of the main characters and after several major issues in the novel really would have rather that they did not stay together. Some of the things he did were completely inexcusable and it doesn't matter how damaged of a character he is, they were unforgivable. Then again, Gwendolen is one of those characters that fights, but not

Oh Angus, how you won me over!! Again... I need a highlander :-). This book was definitely more romance than history but it was awesome all the same. I'm still loyal to Duncan but I have forgiven, and god forbid, kind of fallen for Angus. Damn highlanders, they make my heart race!!!
