Lady Mary MacLachlan is called home to
her father’s holding for the 3rd time in more than
a decade, to be betrothed to someone she doesn’t even know.
When things go wrong and she is seduced and subsequently
shamed by her betrothed, Alexander Campbell, she flees. When
it is discovered she is pregnant and it looks like both her
father and Campbell are fighting over her for the wrong
reasons, she again flees, this time to Castle Lorne and
demands sanctuary from Alexander's father.
Alexander has been away fighting with
Robert the Bruce and now wants nothing more than to settle
down and have the family that he has secretly craved. He is
drawn to Mary and seduces her for her and his men’s
protection, though not telling her this is what is going on.
Because of this, his betrayal destroys Mary's trust and his
belief in himself. Determined to make things right he follows
her and protects her while she travels to his father’s
stronghold.
Alexander finds himself brought up on
charges of rape by Mary’s father. But, she stops the
proceedings and marries him instead. But, will he ever win
her trust back, and more importantly will he win her heart
back. With those still trying to tear them apart can Mary
forgive Alexander and have the family she has always craved?
Absolutely fantastic Scottish Highland
Romance. I highly recommend this story to those who like
romantic realistic Highlander stories. Highland
Moonlight takes a look at how women were used to
further family holdings as well as how love and integrity
might just have played a part in many of their lives. The
characters were all believable and likeable as well as
realistic. Teresa Reasor has made a wonder full addition to
the Historical Romance category with Highland Moonlight.
I am off to find her next book, and be first in line to get
it. |
