Veena’s review of Highlander Ever After (Highland Heirs, Book 4) by Paula Quinn
Historical Romance published by Forever 18 Dec 18
Even though my love affair with Scottish historical romance has waned in recent times, Ms. Quinn is one of the authors who can rekindle that old enchantment. Adam MacGregor believes he’s not worthy to be his father’s heir, even if he is the oldest son. Yet when called upon, he marries a stranger to keep his clan safe. This story will really show the world Adam’s true mettle as the MacGregor heir.
Sina is hungry for affection and family. Daughter to the Hanoverian prince, who is to be Queen Anne’s successor, she has been a lady to the monarch. When she is dispatched on an errand to the Highlands, she hardly expects to end up in church and a forced marriage to the MacGregor heir. Given that she’s in love with an Englishman, this is not the turn she expected her life to take and she has no qualms expressing her unhappiness to any and all.
She certainly cries a river of tears and makes herself and everyone in her near vicinity unhappy, until she is taken in hand by Adam’s mother, aunts, and sisters and finally finds the family she always craved. Also, she discovers that Adam himself might not be so bad after all. Before she can settle down, the queen dies and she’s recalled to court by her father, who is now king.
Now the story really gets interesting and picks up pace, as Adam realizes that he truly wants Sina to wife and will do what it takes to bring her back to the Highlands. Since there is no love lost with the new king, Adam comes to court as a Scottish nobleman, ready to court his wife and win over her father. Will Adam achieve his objectives or fall foul of ambitious English courtiers?
Ms. Quinn does an excellent job of giving us a peek at the historical realities of Sina’s time period. The characters are wonderfully three dimensional, and most particularly the MacGregor clan, who readers know from earlier books, are all large as life with the author giving her readers an update on the life and happenings of these characters. All in all, this is a great chapter in the MacGregor clan history that I enjoyed very much.
Grade: A
Summary:
They tried to resist a marriage of convenience . . .
As the clan chief’s son, Adam MacGregor is duty-bound to marry a royal heir. Yet when he meets his bride—a beautiful but haughty young lass who thinks he is nothing more than a common savage—he realizes she’s more than he bargained for. But the more Adam gets to know his new wife, the more intent he is on proving her wrong about him.
But can they resist each other?
Sina de Arenberg wants nothing to do with the unsavory MacGregors, especially the fierce Highlander she now calls husband. But the more time she spends with the man she married, the more she sees his honor and courage. Just when she thinks there might be a future for her and Adam, Sina is called back to court. England isn’t the place she remembers, though, and soon she’ll be forced to choose between the life she once knew, and the Highlander who has captured her heart.
