RAVISHED BY A HIGHLANDER by PAULA QUINN REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~
A couple days ago, I did a review of this great book. Please take a quick minute to read it here-
"In 1685 Scotland, Lady Davina Montgomery is hiding at St. Christopher's Abbey, hoping no one will discover her true identity. When soldiers attack, highlander Rob MacGregor, heir to a clan chief, risks his life to save Davina from the burning building. She remains both stoic and secretive, but the shared dangers of their journey across Scotland and their burgeoning attraction slowly encourage her to open up."
I cant say enough how much I love romance novels. I do enjoy the ones set in another time alittle more.
I greatly enjoy reading about times when women wore fancy dresses, and kings and queens ruled.
That's probably why my favorite movie of all time is Gone With The Wind!!!
This is one of those period books when times are much different then now!
Lady Davina has been living in a convent all her life. She has a terrible secret that she cant share with anyone for fear of loosing them.
She is heavily guarded by the Kings Royal Army, but not many people know why.
One night, there is a savage attack on the convent, and almost all of its inhabitants are murdered.
Robert MacGregor just happens to be traveling by when he notices the flames coming from the convent.
Being is nature to help people (and fight alot!!!) he goes to see what he can do.
While there he is charged with saving Davina and helping her to safety.
Along the way, Robert and Davina start to have feelings for each other.
Soon Robert learns the secret Davina hides, and it puts both of their lives in Jeopardy.
But of course true love prevails!!
I really enjoyed the action scenes as well as the love scenes in this book.
The love scenes were tender and welcoming.
I highly recommend reading this book if you are a sappy romantic like me!!
