Highland Knight of Rapture is the
4th book in a series, and while I have not read the other books I
think this book reads well as a stand alone.
Recently I have been doing a lot
of spicy reading and felt that I needed a little cooling off. I was happy to be given the opportunity to
read this book in exchange for an honest review and I am happy to report that
this book does not disappoint.
The book starts off with our
heroine, Lady Helen, delivering a beautiful baby girl. Her husband and Laird is not happy with the
delivery after 5 years of marriage as he wanted a heir. He is despicable man, with no love, respect
and not the slight care for our poor Helen.
Enraged he starts publicly acknowledging his mistress in front of his
lady wife and Clan. Poor Helen, a
beautiful and timid lady, tries very hard to please her husband. Accepting that arrange marriages to forge
alliances are the norm, she tries very hard to please her boorish husband and
accept her fate.
Sir Eoin MacGregor, an old friend
of Lady Helen and close friend of her brother, arrives at the castle to offer
support with the feud against the McDonald.
He remembers Lady Helen very fondly and has secretly loved her all
these years. He is stunned to witness her
mistreatment and what she is going through.
He decides to help his beautiful lady so that she can have the happiness
that she and her daughter deserve.
I must say, I stayed up all night
turning the pages in my Kindle. This
story was very engaging. You couldn’t stop
but feel for Helen and the awful circumstances she was going through, and just
sigh at how resigned she was to her fate.
She knew her duty and what was expected of her by her family and
clan. The only joy in her daily life was
her new born daughter.
Our hero was such a
sweetheart! Eoin struggled in the
beginning with figuring out how to help her, knowing that she was married but
not accepting it in his heart. Someone
he was able to offer Helen courage and patiently helped her make some very
tough decisions. They are very frightening
decisions for her that would affect so many around her..
While not a very steamy read, it
did have its moments, and actually I think that if it would have gotten too hot
a read it may have taken away from the story.
I really enjoyed this book and will look to read the other in the
series.
Give Highland Knight of Rapture a
try and it will not disappoint!
Thank you for stopping by!

I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley for my honest
review.
