In Highlander Most Wanted, a reclusive woman content to live in the shadows shows a Highland warrior the true meaning of love.

Genevieve McInnes is locked behind the fortified walls of McHugh Keep, captive of a cruel laird who takes great pleasure in ruining her for any other man. Yet when Bowen Montgomery storms the gates on a mission of clan warfare, Genevieve finds that her spirit is bent but not broken. Still, her path toward freedom remains uncertain. Unable to bear the shame of returning to a family that believes her dead or to abandon others at the keep to an imposing new laird, Genevieve opts for the peaceful life of an abbess. But Bowen’s rugged sensuality stirs something deep inside her that longs to be awakened by his patient, gentle caress—something warm, wicked, and tempting.

Bowen seizes his enemy’s keep, unprepared for the brooding and reclusive woman who captures his heart. He’s enchanted by her fierce determination, her unusual beauty, and her quiet, unfailing strength. But wooing her will take more than a seasoned seducer’s skill. For loving Genevieve, he discovers, means giving her back the freedom that was stolen from her—even if it means losing her forever.

I absolutely fell in love with the first Montgomerys and Armstrongs book and was looking forward to Highlander Most Wanted. A lot of the time I will hype a book up in my mind and be devasted when it doesn't live up to my crazy expectations, but I was NOT in any way disappointed with Highlander Most Wanted a bit. From beginning to end it was a fantastic read!

Are you a fan of emotionally and physically scared heroines that still manage to hold a spark of self worth? How about a hot highlander with a heart of gold? If you're shaking your head yes right now you NEED to pick this one up.

A happily ever after is always great, but when it happens to a character that never expected even a glimmer of happiness in their future it becomes ultra fulfilling!

*I suggest reading this series in order.

Reviewer: Jasmyn

Eveline Armstrong is fiercely loved and protected by her powerful clan, but outsiders consider her "touched." Beautiful, fey, with a level, intent gaze, she doesn't speak.  No one, not even her family, knows that she cannot hear.  Content with her life of seclusion, Eveline has taught herself to read lips and allows the outside world to view her as daft.  But when an arranged marriage into a rival clan makes Graeme Montgomery her husband, Eveline accepts her duty - unprepared for the delights to come. Graeme is a rugged warrior with a voice so deep and powerful that his new bride can hear it, and hands and kisses so tender and skilled that he stirs her deepest passions.

Grame is intrigued by the mysterious Eveline, whose silent lips are ripe with temptation and whose bright, intelligent eyes can see into his soul.  As intimacy deepens, he learns her secret.  But when clan rivalries and dark deeds threaten the wife he has only begun to cherish, the Scottish warrior will move heaven and earth to save the woman who has awakened his heart to the beautiful song of a rare and magical love.

Rating 5/5
Sizzling HOT sex!

This was my second m/f/m+m read. Again another favorite for my family of female's + one firend.
Who wouldn’t fall in love with three brothers that wanted to be devoted to your happiness in everyway. This is a great suspense story with loads of totally hot sizzling sex. The story starts off kind of cheesy, but between the men and the sex it well makes up for it.

* spoilers*
Adam, Ryan and Ethan is up front with what they want form Holly, it confuses her for a small time, but her attraction for the brothers makes her cave really quick, but she has a big problem, she is in need to get rid of, it’s her husband. This is where the adventure comes in getting rid of the husband maybe a harder task then they thought, but as they make that task more to reality they get a little something special added into the mix. There is no m/m in this book.

Check this out Maya is doing sequels to this book, I cant wait
