Scotland of centuries ago.
The fifth book in the Highland Adventure Series. Each book of the series is a stand-alone romance.
Chief Torrin MacLeod vows to possess and wed the spirited lady who stole his heart the previous winter. But Lady Jessie MacKay wants naught to do with the dangerous warrior, no matter how devilishly handsome and charming he is. When Torrin arrives unexpectedly at Jessie's home, along with Gregor MacBain, a man Jessie was formerly handfasted to, she is thrown off-kilter. She never wanted to see either man again, but now they are vying for her hand. Torrin promises to protect her from the devious MacBain, but how can she trust Torrin when she has witnessed how lethal he is?
The more time Torrin spends with the strong and independent Jessie, the more determined he is to win her heart. Once she allows him a kiss, he feels her passion flame as hot as his own. After she knows Torrin better, Jessie finds herself falling for the fearsome Highlander. But the odds are stacked against them. The sinister MacBain is bent on kidnapping Jessie, making her his bride and killing Torrin, while Jessie's conniving younger brother, Haldane, is determined to use Jessie to take over the castle in his older brother's absence. Jessie fears she can never be with the man she loves, while Torrin will do everything in his power to ensure they are together forever. In his heart, she is the only lady for him.

5 out of 5 stars, Top Pick, Night Owl Reviews: "It is sweeping story of survival, love and betrayal. Ms. Sinclair pens fantastic historical romance. Stunning settings are richly described and her characters are real and believable....The plot is filled with suspense, romance and passion. My favorite parts of this story are simply when Torrin and Jessie are talking. The dialogue is so well written. This is where we learn just who these people are and why they are so well matched. I freely admit that I'm biased in my opinion of this series - I love it. However, that fact makes my expectations very high for each new story. Ms. Sinclair doesn't disappoint. Her Highlander books are consistently fascinating, fast-paced and filled with passionate characters." Emma, Reviewer
"The entire series has been wonderful, but I think this latest may be my favorite. Such a strong, intelligent, and beautiful heroine, and an incredible hero. Torrin was the most romantic hero that I could imagine." Monica, Reader

The characters are engaging, charismatic, and fierce. The storyline is intriguing, dangerous and will have you turning pages faster than you can say Highlander. A deliciously sexy story of love,family, revenge, and forgiveness. For action, thrills, and passion pick up “My Notorious Highlander”. I loved it! Well done, indeed!"

My Daring Highlander is the fourth book in the Highland Adventure Series
Beautiful and fiercely protective of those she loves, Lady Seona Murray captured Keegan MacKay’s attention when she first set foot in Dunnakeil Castle. Though she is a chief’s daughter and forbidden, Keegan has fallen in love with her from afar and burns to possess her. But so does the clan traitor, Haldane, an obsessive outlaw bent on murder and kidnapping.
Sinfully handsome, Keegan MacKay is a fearsome guard as well as the chief’s cousin, but Seona’s father would never consider him a worthy husband for her because he is not a titled laird. Seona has secretly watched the sensual, tawny-haired warrior from across the crowded great hall for months, but when he is tasked with escorting her across Scotland, back to her home, their simmering attraction flames into sizzling passion with just one kiss.
Though she fears she is endangering Keegan’s life, Seona cannot resist his seductive charm or his spellbinding kisses. Keegan sets fire to the memories of her sad past and shows her what it means to truly live. But her father has other plans. He’s arranged for her to marry a wealthy Lowland laird. Is Keegan daring enough to steal her away? Or will the vindictive Haldane snatch her first?

Night Owl Reviews: 4 1/2 stars, Top Pick - "My Daring Highlander is historical romance at its best. Ms. Sinclair gives us another magical story in her Highland Adventure series. My Daring Highlander brings Scotland to life and sweeps you into a world where love isn't always enough but maybe hope is.
Keegan and Seona face almost insurmountable odds. They do so with dignity and honor. The attraction between them simmers until it explodes. Their love story is truly an amazing one and I was so caught up in their lives that I read this book in one sitting. I love this series and I love the characters. I wish I could think of a sexier description for them but what the couples are in these books are grown-ups. They face their lives with courage and truth. Start at the beginning with this fantastic series. The author weaves a spell-binding tale of love, honor, family and friendship.
Keegan MacKay loves Seona Murray but can never have her. She is above his station and will be given to another. Seona is entranced by the man she's come to know. When he escorts her back home their passion explodes, even as danger tracks them."

"Seona is very likable and Keegan, whoa, is incredibly sexy. Strong and honorable and very realistic. I feel like I've visited foreign castles. I could see it all very clearly. Ms. Sinclair's obvious love of Scotland comes across like a beauty-blanket over her stories, bringing the landscape and characters to life. Once I started reading, I found myself so engrossed I couldn't stop. This is a book I know I'll read again." Vanessa Holland, Author
"Breathtaking and sensual adventure, 7 stars. My DARING HIGHLANDER is my favorite of her Highlander Adventures. It's amazing! Sensual! It took my breath away! I read her three other books, but this one was so well written and exciting to read that I could not put it down. If you love an amazing and breathtaking Scottish adventure, then I highly recommend MY DARING HIGHLANDER. Vonda Sinclair is an excellent writer..." Nicole Laverdure, Reader
"Vonda Sinclair is one of my new go-to authors for Highlander romance! I am loving this series. And I love that I get to see past characters again. In My Daring Highlander, we follow Keegan MacKay, a fierce and passionate warrior (and cousin to hottie Dirk from My Brave Highlander). From afar he's loved Lady Seona since the moment he saw her--and she's been watching and wishing too. When he gives her a lesson in self-defense, the simmering attraction sparks into exciting flames. I couldn't put it down. The adventure, emotion, sensuality, loyalty and friendship in the the story (and series) are all very satisfying. I know when I sit down to read, I'm going to come away with a smile." Eliza Knight, Author
"There were many things I loved about this book, but I especially liked the attraction between the two main characters and the way the author brought characters from the previous books into this one. When I started reading, I couldn't put it down! This is one book I'll read over and over!" Gwyn Brodie, Author
"All of Vonda Sinclair books are incredible. This is her 4th book of this series! I highly recomened every one of them! Each hero in every story is the "dream warrior" woman just can't help but fall in love with!" Amazon Reader

Battle-hardened warrior Dirk MacLerie isn't who everyone thinks he is. He's Dirk MacKay, heir apparent to the MacKay chiefdom and Dunnakeil Castle on the far north coast of Scotland. When he returns home after a long absence, will his clan know him and will the duplicitous enemy who tried to murder him twelve years ago kill him in truth this time?
Lady Isobel MacKenzie is a beautiful young widow betrothed to yet another Highland chief by her brother's order. But when her future brother-in-law accosts her and threatens to kill her, she is forced to flee into a Highland snowstorm. When she runs into a rugged and imposing man she thought dead, she wonders if he will turn her over to her enemy or take her to safety.
Dirk remembers the enchanting, dark-eyed Isobel from when he was a lad, but now she is bound to another man by legal contract—an important detail she would prefer to forget. She wishes to choose her own husband and has her sights set on Dirk. But he would never steal another man's bride… would he? The tantalizing lady fires up his passions, testing his willpower and honor at every turn, even as some of his own treacherous clansmen plot his downfall.

5 stars, Top Pick "I loved My Brave Highlander. It was an excellent read. The characters were written extremely well, all of them. I fell in love with them from the beginning. Isobel and Dirk are great together; I was rooting for them from the very beginning. Isobel is a strong woman that is handling what has happened to her really well. I love the fact that she doesn't back down. The flow of the story is really smooth. The story moves at a good pace. I was drawn in from the beginning and didn't put it down until I finished it. There is plenty of action in this story to hold your attention. There is intrigue that keeps you guessing until the end. You are given some clues and know some of what is going on but you do not get all of it until the end. I can't wait for the next book in the series. This is the third book in the Highland Adventure series. It can be standalone without any issues, but I recommend reading the first two to get to know Dirk and his best friend, and for pure enjoyment." Night Owl Reviews
"I REALLY enjoyed My Brave Highlander. Lots of action and sensuality--Dirk is so intense and yet when he's near Isobel the heat crackles and his defenses fall. The scenery is vivid and magical. I felt like I was in the midst of the Highlands, the snow falling and melting on my cheeks. Beyond the sizzling sensual tension (which Ms. Sinclair is an expert at weaving!) the adventurous plot had me on the edge of my seat. And Dirk's enemy--HATED with a passion. Ms. Sinclair has the unique ability to pull an emotional response from her reader on every single page.
"Filled with romance, I had a constant smile to my face, I got chills, the whole nine yards! This might be my favorite of all three books in the Highland Adventure series. Well done, Ms. Sinclair--I highly recommend this book! And I can't wait to read the next one!" Eliza Knight, History Undressed

"Vonda Sinclair is a masterful storyteller. My Brave Highlander is solid gold. Dirk & Isobel are perfect for each other." Anonymous B&N Reviewer
"Ms. Sinclair is a phenomenal writer with an impressive knowledge of Scotland and Scottish history. This makes her writing not only incredibly interesting but highly atmospheric. I also love the way she's worked the old Scottish marriage customs into the plot... Ms. Sinclair has a true talent for making her heroes powerful and fearsome while also human and vulnerable, and charmingly romantic. That is what sexy is all about IMO. Dirk is no exception. I loved how tough yet vulnerable he was and how determined he was to forge his own path despite numerous obstacles and dangers." Vanessa Holland, author

4.5 out of 5 stars. When I first picked this book up, I was surprised at how quickly it captured my attention and then I remembered that it’s a Vonda Sinclair book, and wanted to smack myself, because DUH! Of course it sucked me in, she’s a fantastic writer.
I think the intensity of this book is increased because it’s not just a simple love story, it’s not just a simple rescue, and well, to be honest, NOTHING is simple in this book.
Isobel has been dodging advances from her soon-to-be brother in law while her fiancé is away for a few weeks. It comes to the point where Isobel has to fight for her life, and after knocking the jerk out, she thinks she’s killed him. Not knowing her fiancé too well, she assumes she’ll be hanged for killing the brother of the laird, and she runs.
Dirk McKay is actually the heir to his clan, but he’s been in hiding and using the name MacLerie. Soon he’s pushed into going home, though, and he’s not sure that is a good thing. His stepmother tried to kill him so her sons could inherit. And while his father has recently died, the stepmother still holds sway over her sons.
The trek north is time enough for Isobel to know that she wants Dirk, whether it’s for one night or more, she wants him. But she doesn’t want to bring him trouble, either, so she asks to be sent home to her brother. Dirk finds he can’t let her go, but he doesn’t want to marry her, because as newly appointed laird of the McKay clan, he doesn’t want to start a feud over stealing another man’s bride. Yet he can’t keep from thinking about her, and the wee devil can’t keep her hands off him.
With one laird on the hunt for his wayward bride-to-be, and another laird looking for his sister, what can Dirk and Isobel do to stay together? And can they survive the many attacks on their lives?
I love this series, and Vonda Sinclair has a way of writing that catches you right from the beginning and doesn’t let go until well after it’s ended. Got Fiction

"If you love a highland romance like I do, you won’t want to miss My Wild Highlander! As I live and breathe, Ms. Sinclair has the know-how and a definite knack for writing highland romances. I always fall in love with her heroes immediately and then, of course, I just can’t put her books down. Nor can I wait for the next one and I’m like a cat on a hot tin roof, impatiently waiting for yet one more hunky hero.
The hero and heroine in My Wild Highlander are highly argumentative, but wildly romantic (which I love!). Lachlan is very protective of Angelique, but really doesn’t want a wife, which make for fun times between the two of them. For a while, the kisses are few, but when they happen, they’re explosive. Lachlan always wants more, but Angelique doesn’t. She’s perfectly fine with just his kisses, but it’s very comical to see Lachlan “warm” Angelique to his desires. He’s a real charmer and you’ll adore him from the start.
The sex doesn’t happen right away, but the journey to that final marital consummation is well worth reading. Lachlan finally seduces her and Angelique finds out just how wild her highland husband can be (ooh la la)! The by-play between the characters is comical and the sex is smokin’ hot. There were many times I got that hot-and-bothered feeling and who wants to read a romance without some of that? Ms. Sinclair is one of my new favorite authors and this one will nab you for sure. Yep, it’s a keeper!"

*****
"Who doesn't secretly long for a sensual, wild Scottish highland warrior like Lachlan? He is easily one of my favourite characters created by the very talented Vonda Sinclair...The multiple layers of his personality shine through, easily highlighting this author's superb talent and imagination. We see his passionate side, his gentle and caring side especially when it comes to his two small sons, we witness his fiercely protective side and his unerring loyalty and bravery. We watch as this complex character undergoes a complete transformation, going from an irresponsible and wildly womanizing man to the fierce chief and dedicated husband...Angelique is the perfect heroine in this, her fiery and independent nature is exactly right. Yet again Vonda Sinclair gives her gift to us all wrapped up in suspense, passion and intrigue. This author truly is a master of the written word and I look forward to reading her work for many years to come." Emma, Reader
*****
"If you love highlanders, steamy love scenes, great characters, and action then you will love My Wild Highlander by Vonda Sinclair... It’s such the perfect story for two people with different pasts coming together. Those who love historical romances with lots of passion, heart, amazing characters, action, and lots of love will love Sinclair’s My Wild Highlander." The Pen and Muse Book Review
*****
"Once again Ms. Sinclair hit it out of the park with this story. From the classy way she told the love story of Lachlan MacGrath and Lady Angelique Drummagan. And they obstacles that are put in their way, to make this a real page turner that is hard to put down... From the start the kisses that Lachlan bestows upon on Angelique leave her wanting more. And more is exactly where they head. The steaminess of passion comes off the pages and makes you want to keep reading to find out just what happens.
Throughout the whole story we find a very classy and crisp romance that takes us to not only the bedroom but outside where we find that sometimes to make things work you must do things together and work hand in hand. TRUST!...Ms. Sinclair’s My Wild Highlander is a must read and one that I recommend and will read again. I look forward to the next Highland Adventure." Romancing the Book
*****
"Ms. Sinclair hits another homerun with My Wild Highlander. A follow up to My Fierce Highlander, she picks up younger brother Lachlan's story. Forced into a marriage neither wants, the heroine and hero try to make the best of their situation. She has been damaged, and he has lacked true direction. She gives him a purpose, and he teaches her how to love and embrace life again. Very good plot lines between the two.
With a cast of bad guys (and a bad woman), there is never a dull moment. The pace keeps the reader's interest, and there are enough twists to keep you guessing. As usual, Ms. Sinclair flexes her ability to write hot, steamy love scenes. With plenty of sexual tension beforehand, I worried my Kindle might melt when these two finally got together. If you like Scottish Historicals with lots of action and a satisifying ending, I highly recommend picking up My Wild Highlander." Derek Dodson

"Wow! I LOVE Highlanders and when I read My Fierce Highlander by Vonda Sinclair, I fell in love with Laird Alasdair MacGrath at once, and wanted to be the one rescuing him instead. Adventure, fighting, romance, the Highlands--what more can anyone ask for! Loved it!" Terry Spear, USA Today Bestselling Author
"I loved the description of the Highlands. This compelling story of two wounded people who each heal the other is spellbinding and simply lovely. I WANT MORE!" Cate Parke, author
"I love this story . . . it’s wonderful!! You handle the complex mix of characters, dialogue, and action in a very readable, highly exciting manner. Great conflict . . . heroic characters, true emotion, fast-paced action plot."
"My Fierce Highlander was an amazing read. I absolutely loved it and the characters." 5 stars, Top Pick from Night Owl Romance Reviews
"Overall, I felt like I was reading a nice combination of Julie Garwood and Johanna Lindsey and although I have never heard of this author until now, I am already a fan. Vonda Sinclair did an amazing job writing an entertaining highland romance. It was fluid and wonderfully paced which allowed me as a reader to savour the character's emotions and events written within the pages. I look forward to the next installment in this highly anticipated series." Escape Between the Pages
"Wonderfully packed with stunning love and wild adventures, Vonda Sinclair's first book in the Highland Adventure series is just what an exciting Scottish historic romance should be... Possibly sporting my all time favourite first line of any book I have EVER read, "A stiff breeze carried the scent of bruised grass and blood on its icy breath." This line, for me, is instantly evocative of the battle that had took place and the harshness of the Highland weather....Gwyneth' s character is instantly likeable, within the first few pages you learn of her strength and bravery as she helps an unknown member of an enemy clan. You instantly know of her deep love for her small son and her aims for a better life for him....My favourite part of this book is probably the image of Alasdair standing before his fireplace and telling Gwyneth that he didn't want her to leave. A swoon worthy moment if there ever was one!!! I truly believe that the very talented Vonda Sinclair gives you a little bit of magic in her creations and I would urge anyone who hasn't experienced the delights of this author to do so now."

"This book starts off strong. I started around 10pm and ended up reading it straight through til 2am! I kept saying to myself “As soon as I find a stopping point, I’ll put it down,” but I just kept on reading... This was my first Vonda Sinclair read, and it won't be my last. The Highland Hussy decrees that Ms. Sinclair is a fantastic writer, who brought so much of the reality of fighting and feuding Highlanders to the pages, that it was easy to visualize and sympathize with Gwyneth."

"Vonda Sinclair captures the excitement and magic in romance with My Fierce Highlander! Her vivid story telling brought the Scottish Highlands to life with detail and accuracy. The language used was not complicated if you are unaccustomed to Scottish Romances, just enough of that sexy brogue and Gaelic to make you tingle.
Sinclair delivers a plot that is enticing and moved fluidly with captivating characters full of dimension that were brought to life on the pages. The romance was balanced nicely with action and suspense. I was caught breathless during the most romantic scenes ever, being drawn in by Alasdair and Gwyneth’s sizzling chemistry and fiery passion. Then brought to desperation, my heart wrenching along with the characters, when Alasdair and Gwyneth reached their lowest; and my heart soared when they finally found their HEA. I was glued to this riveting story start to finish and did not want it to end.
The secondary characters of Gwyneth’s son Rory (BTW, I just love that name), who was absolutely adorable and a key element to the novel, and Alasdair’s brother Lachlan along with the rest of his clan were all interesting in their own right and the ending left a nice little set-up for the next book in the series about Lachlan called My Wild Highlander, which seriously intrigued me. I would recommend this book to all Scottish romance lovers or romance/historical romance readers in general. A superb read that all you highlander hussies out there won’t want to miss! ;)" Crystal, Reading Between the Wines
