About this ebook
Fans of Hannah Howell and Diana Gabaldon will love this Scottish romance that combines a "knockout love story with an action-packed plot" (Booklist) as a Highland laird risks his own life to rescue the daughter of his sworn enemy.
Famed for his fierceness, Laird Robert Grant is above all a loyal Highland clan chief. But when redcoats capture his rival's daughter, he sets aside their feud and races to her rescue. Aye, Janet Cameron is beautiful, cunning, and so very tempting, but a Cameron lass is the last woman he should ever desire.
Janet refuses to meekly surrender, not even when surrounded by foes. She takes every chance to escape, first from the English soldiers and then from the wickedly handsome Robert. Yet with each day they spend together, his unexpected gallantry chips away at her reserve little by little. As danger and treachery loom, can she trust him enough to choose love over vengeance?
"Flirtatious, sensuous romance and adventure fill the pages of this mesmerizing historical, and the undercurrent of Jacobite rebellion raises the tension." --Publishers Weekly
"Jarecki further enhances her reputation for crafting stellar Scottish romances by giving readers a knockout love story, with an action-packed plot richly imbued with colorful period details and a perfectly matched hero and heroine whose sensual exploits are hot enough to warm the coldest of Scottish nights." --Booklist
"With passion, precision, and consummate skill, Jarecki has penned an adventurous romance that is greatly enhanced by an exquisite depiction of life in the early 18th-century Scottish Highlands. Beautifully done." --Library Journal

The Highland Renegade by Amy Jarecki Lords of the Highlands #5 With the Samhain Festival at hand and two clans blaming one another for the loss of their sheep the situation is tense for the Camerons and Grants. Throw in the English to “keep the peace” and you have a situation rife for trouble and that is just what happens when Lieutenant Cummins becomes a bit to attentive to Janet Cameron and rather than lose face he opts to arrest her for slapping him. Then the chase ensues with Robert Grant coming to her rescue. The trip is not easy for her and she does sustain and injury but as she heals she realizes that what she thought true of Robert is just the opposite. Of course true love is not ever easily achieved so the two have to spend some time apart and find a way to be together which is part and parcel of this story...as is the bad guy getting his comeuppance. Entertaining and fun story that left me wanting to read whatever comes next by this author. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Grand for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4-5 Stars
