Fans of "romance a la Outlander" (RT Book Reviews), will love this sexy, action-packed Scottish historical as a battle-hardened Highlander will fight with all he has to save the woman he loves--even if she can never love him back.

After being unceremoniously jilted by her betrothed, Lady Mairi MacKenzie is humiliated and heartbroken - but she's not desperate. As the daughter of an earl, she won't give her hand to just anyone, and she definitely isn't swayed by a last-minute proposal from Laird Duncan MacRae. The powerful clan chieftain may be disarmingly handsome and charming, but he's not a nobleman. Mairi doesn't want his pity or his charity - even though his dark smoldering gaze makes her melt with desire.
Dunn may be a battle-hardened clansman, but he's always had a soft spot for Mairi. For years, she tormented him with flirtation - only to reject him. But he's not giving up. When Mairi is attacked by redcoats, Dunn goes after the woman he loves. Through brute strength and fierce action, he will protect her life at any cost. But to win her heart, he will have to show her the tenderness in his own.

"A gorgeous love story for the ages!--TheBookDisciple.com

"I enjoyed every minute of this story. Duncan was just so swoony, heroic, tender, and manly. ... There was a ton of action to keep your excitement heightened, but there was also a lot of heat between these characters as well. ...I highly recommend you get your hands on [it], especially if you are a fan of historical fiction because some of these characters are based upon real people. Overall, The Highland Chieftain was a smoking romance that was both endearing and sexy! I loved it!!"--The Genre Minx

Gosto dos romances que misturam amor com história. Este livro dá uma idéia interessante dos risings que ocorreram na Escócia nos 17... ingleses versus jacobitas. Tenho lido várias autoras que abordam esses temas e acabei fazendo uma viagem à Escócia por esse motivo. Achei o livro bastante interessante e foi difícil não ir até o fim sem parar de ler.

I always enjoy seeing the Scottish highlands thru Amy's writing. You get a real sense of the scenery, the characters and the danger in every word she writes. With Dunn and Mairi they seem to be doomed from the get go. With a heroic rescue turning into a headhunt for Dunn, he must do all in his power to keep the woman that has captured his heart safe. Even if that means from himself as well.

Thru their journey and hiding Mairi has feelings of inadequacy. Dunn always cleans up after Seaforth so it was no surprise to her that he offered marriage after the fiasco. But she didn't expect it to hurt so much. Until he lays it all on the line and tells her what he really feels hiding in that cave. But she can't. Her father would never allow it. With her feel is growing towards the handsome and rugged chieftain,she must find the truth in her heart. But danger is on every hand and she must keep her wits.

Dunn has vowed to protect Mairi from all danger. Even her own father. With roadblocks up every turn is more dangerous than the next. How can he return her home to a father that wants to marry her off to the highest bidder when he wants nothing more than to make her his. He must find a way. When plans go awry and Mairi is shipped away, Dunn will face death and hell itself to save her. But will it all be for naught? Does she love him as he loves her? 
Will they even be safe or will treachery be the end of all he holds dear?

What is better than a brawny, sexy Highlander? A brawny, sexy Highlander with a soft heart and written by the talented Amy Jarecki!
Devastated at having what she thought her life would be torn from her, Lady Mairi MacKenzie wants nothing more than to remain in her home. Alas, her father will not have it and forces her to attend the Highland Games. Poor Mairi’s devastation clearly shows and becomes unbearable when her former intended shows with his new wife. Unable to bear it any longer Mairi makes a decision that will put her life in danger. What follows reveals lies, manipulation, and events that prove Mairi is stronger than she thinks.

Och, the last thing Laird Duncan, Dunn, MacRae needed was the spoiled chit that he once offered marriage to only have her and her father belittle his request. That alone should have hardened his heart to her but oh, how sad she looks. Dunn is determined to put her from his mind and heart and concentrate on winning the Highland Games. That is until the lady makes a hasty departure that could cost her her life. Without hesitation Dunn rides to her rescue and spirits her away to safety until he can safely return her home. Though good intentions can come at a cost and this may just cost him his head and his heart.

Oh, how Mairi’s devastation and sadness and Dunn’s heartache and love jump off the pages! Add in a villain, adventure, and anticipation and you have a love story for the ages. Definitely in my top stories of the year. Thank you, Ms. Jarecki!!
