Rescued by a Highlander: a standard romance novel but very enjoyable


Rescued by a Highlander by Keira Montclair is the first book in the Clan Grant series. A romance story set in the Highlands of Scotland in the 1200s. Madeline “Maddie” MacDonald is at the mercy of her cruel stepbrother, Kenneth. He is forcing her to marry his friend and ally, Niles Comming. Comming is an equally cruel man and Maddie knows she would not survive married to him. One day, Laird Alexander “Alex” Grant visits the castle and it is the time to set her free. Maddie’s faithful servants, Mac and Alice, pleads with Alex to rescue her from the clutches of these evil men. Alex isn’t sure why, but he is drawn to Maddie and feels the need to rescue her especially after witnessing the treatment she receives at the hands of her stepbrother. When he brings her back to his keep, he’s still drawn to her but doesn’t understand why she pushes him away. Will Maddie be able to tell Alex the truth? Will she open herself to someone who truly loves her? Can he keep from safe from her evil stepbrother?


Rescued by a Highlander is a typical romance novel with the hero recusing the damsel in distress who discovers she is stronger than he thought. However, it was extremely enjoyable. I held my breath at the cruelty Maddie experienced. I cheered when Alex rescues her. I laughed at the banter between Alex and his siblings. And my heart melted as the two fell in love. I enjoyed every word of this book and even though it was a fast read, I look forward to future books in this series. If you are a fan of romance novels, I highly recommend Rescued by a Highlander.
