BOOK SUMMARY
This exciting conclusion to the popular
Highland Lairds Trilogy features a runaway lass and the laird who will do
anything to protect her.
Feisty
Lady Raine Cameron has been surrounded her whole life by gossip claiming she is
not her father's daughter. Determined to find her true heritage, the
dark-haired beauty boards the Black Raven under false pretenses in search of
the man who she believes is her father, a man who is also a traitor to
Scotland. Only the Black Raven himself stands in her way…
Laird Keir
MacNeil has a reputation for being a ruthless and powerful ship captain. On a
mission to apprehend Scotland's most wanted traitor, he never expected to see
Raine on his ship. Keir vows to keep Raine out of harm's way and return her to
her family untarnished. But as his lust for her grows, he must choose between
honor and the woman he never expected to desire.

“Come away with me tomorrow, Nina,” the
dark-haired man implored. “Meet me here at daybreak, and we’ll flee together.
If you love me, dearest, come with me.”
His deep brown eyes
filled with tenderness, he drew the beautiful lass close and kissed her
tenderly on the forehead, then used the edge of the yellow-and-black tartan
pinned to his shoulder to wipe away her tears.
“My father has
received an offer of marriage for me from Laird Cameron,” Nina replied, her
voice shaking with fright. “Should I run away with you, Torcall, my parents
might never forgive me. Perhaps, if we pleaded with them together, they would
understand how much in love we are.”
“I can’t wait any
longer, dearest,” Torcall said. “The king has pronounced my father a traitor
and with him all our clan. I must go and help defend our home and our lands.”
Nina clutched his
strong hand in both of hers and brought his fingers to her lips. Her hair, a
stunning red-gold, gleamed in the forest’s dappled sunlight. “Oh, Torcall, I do
love you so.”
“Don’t be afraid,
darling lass,” he told her, his voice ringing with the optimism of youth.
“We’ll go to Steòrnabhagh. My father’s castle on the Isle of Lewis is
impregnable. We’ll be married there. One day I’ll be chief of Clan
MacMurchaidh, Nina, and I will give you all the things I so long to give.”
She smiled, her
blue eyes filling once more with tears. “Your love is all I need, my dear, and
all I want.”
Torcall hugged her
close, then bent his head to place a gentle kiss on her lips. “You’ll meet me
here tomorrow, then?” he asked. “You’ll run away with me?”
Nina nodded, a
smile curving her lips. “Aye, I’ll flee with you, Torcall. I’ll meet you here,
right by this tall pine tree, when the sun rises tomorrow.”
In the faint light
of the following morning, the glen where the couple had stood seemed to wait in
hushed anticipation of the coming dawn . . .
Her heart pounding,
Raine awoke with a start and stared at the bed’s canopy above her head. She’d
first had the dream when she was fourteen years old. The year after her father,
Gideon Cameron, had been murdered. Raine knew it wasn’t an ordinary dream.
’Twas a vision of her mother and Raine’s natural father.
CAT'S REVIEW
"Black Raven's Lady" by Kathleen Harrington. This is an adventurous tale of Highlanders at sea. Raine cons her way onboard, needing Keir's protection as she journeys in search of the man she believes to be her birth father. Raine is young and full of life. She's spunky and strong willed but also sweet, kind and caring to all. Keir is a rough and tough Highlander that is annoyed at his tender feelings for the lass. I found it fun and endearing to watch Raine and Keir's love develop. I had to chuckle at Raine's antics and Keir's reactions. Ms. Harrington has done a good job of describing the scenes and battles, although not too graphic (i don't really like blood!). This is book three of the series - I have not read the first two and recommend that you do. I did find I was a bit lost as to all the different secondary characters and some of the Scottish terms used. However, I didn't let that influence me in my review as this book is about Raine and Keir and truly enjoyed their story! (received copy from Edelweiss for honest review)
