Secrets of a Highland Warrior by Nicole Locke
5.0
This is the last novel in the series and what a perfect ending. I have no idea if there is ever going to be s spinoff of this series, but if it ever happens, I will get very excited. I loved the concept of the entire series and for someone that, like me, hasn't read a lot of books in some particular eras, like medieval times, this is a great opportunity to expand our knowledge.
There are a couple of things that I found out about myself thanks to reading Historical Romances, one is that I do love a good marriage of convenience story. So many possibilities of drama and excitement, and Nicole Locke brought us that.
Rory and Ailsa and their love story was one I was very curious about and I was not disappointed. The fact that we had to go back in time through out the books in this series until we could read this one was such an adventure. The feisty interactions and the melting moments... Learning more about this couple and seeing the relationship change as they grow closer.
I haven't read many medieval era novels, compared to the amount of regency ones I have read, so I was very curious about the descriptions and the feel of this book. And I just loved it! It was as vivid as the previous ones. The way the setting was describe, as well as the characters and the society, it had this raw feel to it, maybe because of the time period.
It had drama, danger and mystery that gave the story some action and gave me the need to keep reading not even caring if it was 3 a.m. I love when a book grabs my attention in this way, and Nicole's storytelling combined with the plot of the novel, was what was needed to keep me focus and forgetting I was tired.
Overall, this was an amazing ending for a series and I didn't expect any less. Definitely a series I highly recommend, despite being it possible to read as a standalone, I would recommend the reader to follow the order of the books so they can experience the rollercoaster to it's fullest, and so they can get to this story with much more excitement as the one they started with.
