Ebook Review: Bond of a Bewitched Highlander (Highland Shifters #3) by Vonda Sinclair

 

Blurb: 

A curse. A broken betrothal. Two shattered hearts.

Self-defense instigated the vile curse ensnaring Chief Brodie MacCain and his two chosen brothers. But the witch still craves vengeance. Brodie was transformed into a mythical shapeshifter—a selkie. When his own clan shunned him in suspicion and fear, he found a new place to belong. The selkie tribe welcomed him as one of their own. And now they need his help in training them to become fearsome warriors to protect their families.

To save his life, she broke his heart.

Lady Elsea MacAuley rides hellbent across the Highland moors every day, but she cannot outrun the demons of her past—relentless guilt and despair. After she was manipulated by a cunning witch to shatter the person she loved most, she only has one purpose in life now—to stop a depraved nobleman from enslaving rare, legendary creatures who barely survive on Scotland's remote windswept islands. Trained as a warrior, she embarks on a dangerous rescue mission. She does not expect to end up at the mercy of the one man she loved but betrayed.

Brodie is crushed between rage and a bond that refuses to break. Has his scarred heart grown too cold to forgive? Will his curse remain forever?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This story was wonderful. I loved the determination of Elsea to help the selkies and try to win Brodie back. Her training in knives and swords gave her an upper hand when needed. Brodie fought his feelings so hard to protect his heart and mind. As he gave into some of those feelings, I had hoped the realization would have come faster, but the proper timing finally came. I had tears in my eyes. Throughout the story, I held my breath at times, shook my head at others, and smiled. A beautiful way to end the curse and this series.

Ebook Review: The Highlander's Cursed Lass (Spellbound Hearts #4) by Julie Johnstone

 

Blurb: 

To claim the Highland stronghold I’ve always wanted, I must capture the cursed lass the king seeks.
Then deliver her to him.
The price I never expected to pay…is my heart.

James
I was born a bastard, and I’ve never had anything truly mine.
So when the king promises a castle and lairdship to the warrior who finds a mysterious healer and delivers her to him, I join the hunt.
Finding Katreine Wallace is simple.
Taking her to the king proves far more complicated than I bargained for.
It begins with a lie—mine—that I’ll serve as her protector on some foolish journey.
Yet every mile we ride together makes the truth harder to hide.
And somewhere along the road, she ceases being a means to an end.
Now she’s the woman I can’t stop wanting—far more dangerous to my heart than any enemy I’ve ever faced.
Because when Katreine’s past rises to hurt her…
I’ll have to choose.
The lairdship I’ve fought my whole life to earn.
Or the cursed lass who has already claimed my heart.

Katreine
There was a time when I would do anything for love—even make a dangerous wish that cursed me to never age and forced me from my home and family.
I tried to build a new life, but I cannot outrun a curse that steals everyone I dare to love.
There’s only one chance to break it.
Return to the Dark Woods where it all began.
Face the witch who damned me.
To survive the journey, I need a formidable Highland warrior to protect me.
And just when I think the search is hopeless, James Ross appears.

Tall.
Dangerous.
And wickedly cunning.

He vows to see me safely to my destination.
And foolishly, I believe him.
Until I discover he’s taking me straight back to the danger I once fled.
I hate James for his deception.
But the farther we travel across the Highlands, the harder it becomes to hold on to that anger.
Because James protects me as though I belong to him.
Touches me like I’m something precious.
And when he kisses me, the desire between us becomes far more than either of us planned.
He thinks I’m his path to a stronghold.
What neither of us expected…
Is that loving me could cost him everything he’s fought his whole life to gain.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was quite a story to end the series. I loved it from beginning to end. Katreine's curse kept her away from her family, and she had to witness friends passing. Her skills as a healer became well known, and she was quite sought after. James was very sure of himself as a tracker and did his best to be aware of his surroundings before and after his hunt for Katreine. Doubts, secrets, and danger followed them on their trek to their future. There were moments of tears and smiles. It kept me reading.

Ebook Review: The Highlander's Wicked Ways (Spellbound Hearts #3) by Julie Johnstone

 

Blurb: 

When Murieall Buchannan asks for my protection, I offer her the only thing I have left—a bargain carved from sin.

This Spellbound Hearts romance features:

- A cursed heroine bound to dangerous magic
- A grief-stricken, morally gray Highlander hero
- A forbidden bargain / sinful deal for protection
- Forced proximity and a one-bed arrangement
- Witchcraft, curses, and perilous magic
- A slow-burn, emotionally intense romance
- A redemption arc for a broken hero
- High heat, high stakes, and deep emotional healing
- A guaranteed happily-ever-after

Murieall
I stole a witch’s magic goblet to save my mama’s life and paid for my folly with a curse that binds me to the dead.

The voices never stop. Their grief claws at my mind, and now people whisper I’m mad. My betrothal has been shattered, my reputation destroyed, and time is running out to break the curse before I lose everything.

The witch’s answer to my pleas for forgiveness is as cruel as it is impossible: I must make the wickedest Scot in the Highlands feel again. Munro Ross is grief-hardened, sinful, and dangerous. He wants nothing to do with redemption, but to save myself, I must save him.

Entry into his domain comes at a wicked price: one month in his bed. I tell myself I can endure anything for freedom. What I don’t plan for is the honorable man I find under the dark surface, or the way his touch strips away my careful control, or how falling for him may cost me far more than the curse ever could.

Munro
I lost my wife. I lost my son. And I buried my heart with them.

I don’t believe in witches. I don’t believe in forgiveness. And I don’t save desperate women who come begging at my door. So when Murieall Buchannan asks for my protection, I give her the only thing I still know how to offer—temptation wrapped in shadows and desire.

She’s meant to be a distraction, a fleeting indulgence to dull my pain. But by day, I see a patient, brave woman. And night after night, the ice I’ve built around my heart begins to crack. When she starts whispering truths I was never meant to hear, I realize this bargain may destroy us both.

Because if I let myself feel again, I’ll have to face the lies and betrayals that surround us. And the secrets that unite Murieall and me may be the very ones that tear us apart.

Goodreads: The Highlander's Wicked Ways by Julie Johnstone | Goodreads

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This story touched my heart. Two broken people living with secrets, pain, and death were brought together by a curse. Murieall tired of her curse and wanted it gone. To do so, she had to heal Munro. She was determined, loving, gave of herself though she kept her secrets. Munro was so deep in his pain that he was not truly living. Secrets, manipulation, and pain made him a weaker man than he was. I loved how she brought the light into his life, how he began to take his place in the clan once again, how they gave up their secrets and more to each other. I cried when he reacted to the news of her curse and pushed her away. My fingers were crossed that she would keep her curse/gift. I did not want to stop reading this book. Another good one by this author.

Audiobook Review: Charming a Cursed Highlander (Highlander Shifters #2) by Vonda Sinclair, narrator Dave Gillies

 

Blurb: 

The myth and magic of the Scottish Highlands comes to life in this fun, historical, fantasy, paranormal romance.

A Determined Lass...

Since Catriona MacCain was a young girl, she has been in love with Torr MacElrath, but he doesn't seem to realize she exists. His recently acquired curse of shapeshifting into a kelpie, or water horse, at night doesn't deter her. Brodie, her older brother and the MacCain chief, is also entangled in the curse. He has abandoned the clan, and in his absence, their mother negotiates a marriage alliance for Cat with the cruel Chief MacPeter in exchange for his protection. After rejecting the atrocious marriage plans and learning what will destroy the curse, Cat runs away to find Torr and gain his help.

A Cursed Highlander...

Torr, trapped by the curse, hates his dark and lonely existence. With her ginger hair and sunny enthusiasm, Cat bursts into his life like a fiery explosion. He remembers her as a wee lass and can hardly believe the beautiful, tempting young woman Cat has grown into at age twenty. He wants to help her escape marriage to a vicious beast, but how will he resist her, especially when she's determined to captivate him and shatter his curse? Falling for her would surely destroy his friendship with Brodie and bring destruction upon their clans.

The previous year...

Lady Wilona MacRae has been honing her malicious witchery skills for years. When three friends—Gavin MacTavish, Torr MacElrath, and Brodie MacCain fight in a battle in which her son is killed, she accuses them of murder and condemns them to live under a curse for the rest of their lives. Against their will, they transform into beasts daily.
Gavin's story: Dreaming of a Devilish Highlander

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was an interesting tale, full of magic, curses, loyalty, and love. Catriona wanted to help end the curse after reading a note for her brother, one of the cursed. This took her to Torr, the other cursed, who she cared about for a long time. I loved how easily she accepted Torr's Kelpie and went with her feelings. A little trickery moved their relationship faster, and it was amusing that she did not realize at first when it wasn't the potion. Torr tried to resist the attraction as he did not know he could be released from the curse. He was so careful with Catriona and gave into his impulses. Great story.
Dave Gillies brought the characters to life with his wonderful narration. He put emotion into the story, making it that much more enjoyable.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This story had romance, humor, steamy, and a second chance. Tricked by family, Finlay and Margaret found themselves forced into a situation so that they could work out their differences. I enjoyed Finlay and his attempts to bring Margaret around. She finally voiced what had hurt her so much. The honesty and the love were strong enough to bridge the gap. Both were strong in their own right but knew that they would be better together.

I had a chance to listen to the audiobook. I still enjoyed this story of reconciliation, and the narration by Gareth J. Davies was wonderful. It gave life to this couple.

Book Review: Kilted at the Altar (The Clash of the Tartans #2) by Anna Markland

 

Blurb: 

Who jilted whom?
Darroch MacKeegan vows revenge when his intended bride, Isabel MacRain, fails to show up for a marriage arranged to settle the long feud between their clans.
Isabel’s father lays waste to MacKeegan lands in retaliation for Darroch jilting his daughter.
Who stands to gain from the mix-up?
Perhaps a blue dog and a wee lass who never speaks can help solve the mystery and reconcile two people who were always meant to be together.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -

I really enjoyed this tale of deceit, fate, love, and friendship. Isabel and Darroch were betrothed on paper but deceived into jilting each other. Fate stepped in and brought them together. Isabel wanted vengeance, but confronted with Darroch who could not remember anything, she could not help falling in love as she tended to him. He was sweet, caring, protective of all the people helping him. She was very accepting of things as they came to light. An added element to make this story sweeter was Kyla, Darroch's daughter and Isabel's dog, Blue. Loved this story.

Book Review: The Highlander's Enchanted Healer (Spellbound Hearts #2) by Julie Johnstone

 

Blurb: 

Love bloomed in the ashes of betrayal—fragile, furious, and unstoppable.

Elena
I came to Campbell castle to destroy them, not to fall in love.
The witch’s goblet promised any wish, any power. I stole it to avenge my murdered family. But magic always comes with a price and every time I use my gift, I’m in danger. And the Campbell laird, Ross—fiercely honorable, maddeningly protective, and impossible to ignore—was never part of my plan.
Posing as a healer was supposed to bring me closer to my adversaries. Instead, every secret I uncover pulls me closer to Ross—and to the truth about who really betrayed us both. Now, the man who is supposed to be my enemy is the only person I cannot live without.

Ross
She came to me cloaked in secrets, a healer with fire in her soul. She challenged me, intrigued me, stoked desire in me—and slowly tore down walls I had meticulously built. She was everything I couldn’t let myself need. I never intended to give her my heart. She took it. But then I discover she’s a Gordon spy—the woman who placed my clan in peril. Now, I must decide whether I can trust the lass sent to crush me.
And even as battle looms and treachery surrounds me, I can’t stop loving her.

I really enjoyed this story. Revenge turned to love. Elena had been cursed by her wish to read minds. With revenge on her mind, she headed to the Campbell fortification. I loved her willingness to risk her life to avenge her family, to use her curse to heal a child and Ross's sister, despite the risk. Ross showed her nothing but kindness, which led to her doubting her plan. Elena gave Ross something to live for. Danger, anger, loyalty, and love had me turning pages. A wonderful journey.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

Katherine was a bit impetuous but such a sweet person. She did not want to marry Hamish, wanted to give him a chance to be with the one he truly loved. She ran into trouble, almost died, was rescued, and fell in love, though she fought the idea. Lachlan was not prepared for the fall out of his brother's actions, but he was drawn to Katherine. The two were a sweet couple, worked with each other to sort all out, and faced anger and danger to find their happily ever after. Their journey kept me reading the book. Highly recommend it.
