BOOK SUMMARY
A long forgotten Ancient kingdom has been awakened and threatens to
change the Dragonkine world forever.
Can passion weather the dragon’s storm?
The only true pleasures in life Conall Hamilton yearned for were to marry a good woman, raise a family, and hide away into seclusion to live a normal life away from battle and war, not an easy task for the Dragonkine warrior and Clan Douglas’s second in command. Assigned to investigate an allied clan, he vows upon his return to marry his love, Effie. That’s until the Dragonkine warrior finds himself accused of a crime he did not commit, murder. Imprisoned, he must find a way to escape not only to save his own life but to save the life of the woman he loves.
In time the past will catch up with you…
Effie Douglas is a survivor. Though not born a Douglas, Effie leaves her old life behind to seek safety within Clan Douglas. For five years Conall Hamilton has been her secret lover and savior, helping her pick up the pieces of her damaged past. Hiding the true nature of their relationship from their clan had become a burden for the red-headed lass and now she desires more. She wants Conall’s name. When Effie is summoned home, she is plagued with unwanted memories, treachery, and new found information that will change her life forever. Will Effie have the courage and strength to weather the storm that rages around her?

CAT'S REVIEW
"Highland Storm" by Victoria Zak. This is Effie and Connal's story. Connal, a dragon, is in love with Effie, although he tries to deny it at first. I liked Connal - he's big and tough (as only a dragon can be) but he's also sweet and tender. Effie was living a new life, leaving her past behind her. She was a strong heroine yet kind and gentle to those she loved. At times, however, some of her actions bothered me a bit. I wish she had trusted Connal more and didn't automatically believe the worst of him. I did feel for her though- her past was truly a tortured one and when that past revisits her, I could understand her feelings of dread. There is action, love, highlanders and dragons! Ms. Zak has delivered another delightful tale that I'm truly happy to have read. This is book two of the series and I highly recommend reading the first, "Highland Burn" so you will understand some of the goings on in this one. It all seems to be leading up to what will be a grand battle and I am truly looking forward to reading the next book(s) in this series. (received copy for honest review)

AUTHOR INFO
Growing up in the sister city to Stirling, Scotland, Sottish flare was
abundant throughout Dunedin. From her High School band to the annual Highland
Games that took place right across the street from her childhood home, the
bagpipes beckoned her toward her calling. It seemed only natural for Victoria
Zak to want to write in the Scottish historical romance genre. Add to the fact,
she was also a paranormal romance junkie, there was no doubt that her
influences would be the driving force behind her stories.
Although, she never sought out a writing career, her desire for the
written word grew the more she read. Her love for Scotland, curiosity of
history, and passion for romance has inspired her to write her first book,
Highland Burn. The Guardians of Scotland series continues this winter with
Highland Storm.
Now, Victoria Zak lives in the sunshine state with her husband, two
beautiful children, and three furry friends. Living in paradise, being a stay
at home, and to be able to share her stories has been a blessing.
Victoria loves to hear from her readers. You can connect with her
