I didn’t think Ms. Banks could pull off another romance as enchanting as In Bed with a Highlander but I was so wrong!  Seduction of a Highland Lass blew me away with its exquisite love story!!  I honestly cannot recall when a novel has gotten to me so much that I was literally in turmoil thinking about the couple being torn apart.  I started reading this at eleven at night and thought I’d just read a bit before I went to sleep but I couldn’t put it down!  Four hours later I finished Seduction of a Highland Lass amidst tears and fell asleep with a huge smile on my face.  As a child, I remember my mom telling me stories of grand romances.  The kind that could sweep you away to another time and make you feel as though you were there.  Well Seduction of a Highland Lass is one of those.  I absolutely felt ensconced within this phenomenal romance novel.

I’m in love with the McCabe men and all the people of their clan.  Reading the second book in the series felt like visiting family.  The warriors are delectable and the women are indomitable.  Alaric and Keeley’s love may be forbidden but it’s impossible to resist!  From the moment he opens his eyes and calls her his angel I was swept away.  Phew…the heat that stirs between Alaric and Keeley is so hot you have to be careful not to get burned.  Their story is not one I will soon forget!  The McCabe series is rapidly becoming my favorite of all time!  It’s not necessary to read the first novel to follow this fabulous series but I highly recommend that you read them in order; it only enhances the glorious experience.  I’m so in love with the McCabes I cannot wait to read Caelen’s story.  Run out and find your own copy of Maya Banks Seduction of a Highland Lass I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this enticing sublime story!
