Highlander Untamed by Monica McCarty
The MacLeods of Skye Trilogy
Book 1
Rory & Isabel’s story
What is a Highlander?
When I was first given this book all I could think of was the Highlander movies. Where the Highlander’s are immune to disease and stop aging after becoming immortal. The song “Who wants to live forever” kept playing in my head. That was until I picked up Monica McCarty’s and got sucked in the world of the Scottish Highlanders.
Rory MacLeod is the Highland Chief of the MacLeod clan. He is strong, brave, a fierce warrior, has an undying love for his family and is willing to do anything to protect his clan. Anything, including bedding the enemy he has vowed to destroy. But can Rory’s tough exterior and honor for his clan defeat the enemy that he had welcomed into his home?
Isabel MacDonald is the only daughter of Glengarry MacDonald, she is beyond beautiful and used to men falling at her feet. But being the only girl in her family she has always craved the attention of her father and older brothers, who have always been too busy for her. To protect her family’s land, pride and love she is willing to proceed with her Uncle’s crazy plan and handfast the enemy. To get her family’s love she would be willing to walk thru fire, but what she doesn’t realize is that when you play with fire you always get burned.
What I loved most about this story was to find out that it was based on true Scottish History. Monica McCarty not only writes romance novels, she uses history as her inspiration. I love how Monica took history which can be boring. Monica told a wonderful story about two star-crossed lovers who would sacrifice everything to save their families, including their own happiness.
Over all I really truly enjoyed this book. I would have to say that if you love Highlanders, then you will love this story. If you have never read a Highlander book you need to give them a shot.
