User’s Reviews
Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐Loved the storyline. A woman hell bent on joining a convent feeling the need to devote her life to God after her mother dies giving birth to her. A highlander who thrives on independence and the thrill of sneaking into England to market his clans prime wool. He is also on a quest to find the outlaws who killed his parents years ago and seeks retribution. He is giving the task of escorting this outgoing lass to her sister in the highlands. Sparks fly and boy what a trip that is. A must read.
⭐We are introduced to Blane Sutherland in bk1 The Highlanders Reward. Blane has been sent to fetch Arbella’s younger sister Aliah. Arbella knows her sister is alone at home and in danger at Mowbray Manor becasue of the impending war between Scotland under the head of William Wallace and England under the head of King Edward. Blane pretends to be English, Sir Blane Sutherland to persuade Aliah to travel with him to Scotland to reunite with her sister Arbella. Aliah believes her sister has married an Englishman Sir Marmaduke Stewart who resides in Scotland. Arebella has really married Laird Magus Sutherland. Blanes older brother.Blane and Aliah both have something in common. They believe they are responsible for their parents death. Aliah believes she is responsible for her mothers death in birthing her and has vowed to make penance for it by severing the church as a Nun. Blane is determined to find the English gang that killed both his parents and severely wounded him. He believes the attack was his fault. On their way to Scotland the two fall in love and do some heavy petting, but stop before it goes to far. Blane feels he has nothing to really offer Aliah an is dedicated to finding his parents murderers. and Aliah has vowed to give her life to the Church. For me this back an forth Angst between kissing and heavy petting and pulling away from each other was to much.There Reasoning why they can’t be together went on to long. I was ready to say enough already!! Get together! The story is still pretty good and held my interest. Now I am moving on to read bk 3 The Highlanders Lady.
⭐The Highlander’s Conquest by Eliza Knight is the second in The Stolen Bride series and I enjoyed this one just as much as I did The Highlander’s Reward. Once again I listened to the audiobook narrated by Corrie James who is fast becoming a favorite of mine. She just has such a great voice and perfectly acts out all the different nuances of her characters. While these books are part of a series it’s important to note that they would stand alone quite well.In The Highlander’s Conquest Blane Sutherland has been tasked with bringing Lady Aliah de Mowbray to Scotland to be with her sister Arbella and their father. He disguises himself as an Englishman and presents Aliah with a missive from her father requesting that she go with him. Needing to know that her sister and father are safe and well she agrees. Needless to say that when Blane reveals himself to be a highlander Aliah is incensed and takes action. Now I’m not going to say what action but I will say it was very funny.Aliah is a little spitfire like her sister Arbella and can certainly take care of herself despite having been sheltered her whole life. Just give her a bow and arrow and she’ll enlighten you. However she’s vowed to give her life over to God and the church and yet she can’t deny the ever awakening desires of her body. Could it be love? For Blane who is as roguish as they come he feels a powerful attraction to Aliah but his older brother Magnus would kill him for going near her. Blane has never really cared for a woman but somehow Aliah is working her way into his heart. There is nothing to do but push her away as he is most definitely not good enough for such a sweet soul as Aliah. Will they end up together or not?Who can resist a highlander? Especially the Sutherland men. That’s what I say. Eliza’s books are such a sweet escape for a few hours! They are fun, sweet, sexy, and great to listen to! I thoroughly enjoyed the first two in the series and full intend to enjoy the rest as well! As a note there is a lot of hanky panky going on for my readers who just aren’t into that. If you are though and enjoy a good historical romance check out Eliza Knight’s books and enjoy!
⭐5 stars because it’s a good, romantic story. The beginning a very different H/h, both with secrets. The journey with intrigue, adventure, sexy, to a very satisfactory end. Blane is a good, but troubled man. Aliah, a very gentle, pious woman, but at times, a very Kickbutt, passionate one. It is a very exciting, with never a dull moment, journey. They are a very likable couple, that you are pulling for them to face their honest feelings about each other. The recurring characters are very likable also. This series is a wonderful story. This author never disappoints. I honestly recommend this and the other books.
⭐I usually enjoy this author’s books and have read several. This book didn’t seem to live up to the others. I would say at least 80% of the book was either how the hero and heroine felt about each other, how they yearned for each other, etc……over and over, page after page, or sex scenes. Too much yearning, not enough action or conflicts. I was looking forward to reading the whole series, but now I am unsure.
⭐I was new to Ms. Knight as an author but after reading the first book in her stolen bride series I have been captivated and am now an enthusiastic fan. The second book in the series is also a page turner with likeable characters who discover their love for one another as the story unfolds. This is a HEA story and that’s primarily what I read and want in a book I choose to buy. That’s why I like Ms.Knight. She also throws in a little knowledge about Scottish history (just enough). This is escapism at it’s best and not one of those stories that drags on about the angst and trauma of it’s protagonists. If you want that just turn on the TV. If you want a sexy, romantic love story that makes you feel read this book! Well, I must go as I’m going to read the next book in the series. I gave this book 5 stars as it is well written with a great plot and well thought out and developed characters.
⭐Really enjoyed this. Even better than the first Stolen Bride book. Really liked the two main characters. Good book looking forward to the next one.
⭐My Granny as the whole series for books she says the storylines are very good. So If like Highlanders like my granny this books is most get in her eyes
⭐Enjoyed book
⭐The story was good but I would categories this book/series into lighter reading where the story is concentrated mainly on the main characters and not so much on other things
⭐Fantastic as usual . Now to the next one . Can’t wait . 10/10 a great story teller well done
