BOOK SUMMARY
If there’s one thing Lady Murine will not abide, it’s
her virtue being handed over to the highest bidder. When her scoundrel brother
does just that—in exchange for a few Scottish horses, no less—she’s appalled,
but she refuses to stand by and let it happen. She’s determined to take matters
into her own hands, even if it means braving the countryside alone—or worse,
with a tempting Scot by her side.
Dougall set out to sell a few horses to an English lord; he never expected he’d help smuggle a beautiful fugitive back to Scotland instead. When her brother offered Lady Murine for a few horses, Dougall was disgusted and promptly turned him down. But encountering the runaway lass on the road out of town sets something pounding in Dougall’s heart. There’s something about this fierce woman that makes him want to do more than just help her escape. He wants to protect her—with his life and his heart.
If Dougall’s not careful, this Scot might just end up tying the knot…

EXCERPT
“Dougall,” Murine moaned in protest
when he broke their kiss. She tried to shift against him again, but he held her
still, trying to catch his breath and regain control of himself.
“Hush,” he murmured and turned
sharply toward shore, intending to get them out of the water and set her away
from him. He realized what a stupid idea that was when the supporting water
fell away and she, probably afraid he would drop her, tightened her legs to
keep herself up. Dougall stopped walking and dropped his head to her chest with
a groan as her body slid against his again.
This had really been a bad idea, he
acknowledged and took a couple of deep breaths, before saying, “I’m going to
set ye down, lass.”
“But I don’ wan’ ye
to,” she protested. “This feels good. I like it.”
The words made his
determination falter. If it weren’t for the way she slurred her words, he might
have taken her there and then. However, there was a definite slur to her words.
Murine was in no state to think clearly on this. He had to think for both of
them, and while he’d pretty much decided he was indeed going to marry Lady
Murine Carmichael and bed her well and repeatedly, he would not have her waking
in the morning and accusing him of treating her like the whore her brother had
tried to turn her into.
“I like it too,
lass, but—”
“Then why are ye
stopping? Did I do something wrong? Tell me what to do and I’ll—” Her words
died on a gasp as he suddenly dropped her into the water. It was a desperate
bid to save them both. She was a tasty little bundle and Dougall could not
fight himself and her too.
Leaving her to flounder back to her
feet in the shallow water, he moved quickly back to shore, grabbed his tartan,
laid it out, and knelt to begin pleating it with his back to the water. He
didn’t do more than glance over his shoulder once to be sure she got out of the
water safely, but then immediately turned his full attention forward again. He
would give her time to dress and then escort her back to
camp . . . and then he would not allow himself to be alone with
her until they reached Buchanan and were safely married. He would not have her
thinking he saw her through her brother’s eyes.
CAT'S REVIEW
"Falling for the Highlander" by Lynsay Sands. What an enjoyable read! This story tells the tale of Dougall and Murine. Murine is on the run and meets up with Dougall who decides to help and protect her. I really liked Murine. Throughout she had me chuckling as she certainly found herself in some predicaments. Dougall was a bit perplexed by her, which in turn, had me smiling at him as well. Even though there is a sense of danger and mystery in this story, it was not overwhelming or filled with an overabundance of angst. I did enjoy the chemistry between the two main characters and there are many secondary characters involved as well. At times, I found that keeping track of all of Dougall's brothers did get a bit confusing for me but didn't take away from Murine and Dougall's story. The story takes place over a short period of time and I really, really would have loved to have it lasted longer so I could have gotten to know both of these characters more in depth. Overall, this is a fun and fairly light read that I enjoyed and would recommend if you enjoy Scottish historical romance. (received a copy for honest review)
