The Hellion and the Highlander by Lynsay Sands
4.0
The Hellion and the Highlander
4 Stars
Averill Mortagne is a fiery redhead with a strawberry birthmark, a nervous stammer and an intelligent mind. All of this makes it virtually impossible for her father to find her a suitable (or not so suitable) husband. That is until her brother, Will, returns from the Crusades with an injured comrade-in-arms, Kade Stewert. Kade and Averill grow closer as she nurses him back to health, and after their marriage travel to Scotland to take up residence at the Stewert keep. Unfortunately, someone has other plans for Kade and has no qualms killing the young warrior…
A quick and entertaining read with a charming romance and a solid suspense plot.
While Averill is not much of a hellion, she is a sweet and charming heroine with a strong backbone, and Kade is a courageous soldier and an honorable man. Their romance is characterized by an intense chemistry (despite the numerous interruptions to their amorous intentions) and an endearing emotional connection.
The assassination plot is similar to the previous book but more logical even though the revelation of the villain is quite sudden. The secondary characters are well developed and it is possible that Sands had plans for additional books, but alas ,they never materialized - perhaps sometime in the future.
