Product Description:
It is said that Braden MacAllister, English baron and proud Highlander warrior, can fell an enemy with a single blow -- and a woman with a single kiss. But not Maggie, it seems. For the fire-haired beauty, determined to end the long running feud that rages between their clan and it's common foe, is immune to Branden's attempts to stop her foolishness. But stop her he will, once he gets the meddling minx alone...and favors her with a passionate caress and an irresistible kiss. No matter how she trembles beneath Braden's sensuous touch, Maggie must not yield! As long as this feud continues, the lives of her brothers are at stake. And though Braden is known to have bedded many a lass, he has given his heart to none. But dare she dream that by assuring peace for her clan she may also be claiming the most magnificient Highlander for herself?

This book was a good book. It had a bit of action. But Maggie I didn't quite like for her bad decisions. What I like was the way Kinley spoke of Braden past. How they are interlink togeater with the other books.

If you are at all interested in the highlands c. 1300's then you have to read all of her MacAllisters series and the Brotherhood!

I wonder ... nobody noticed up to now that Mrs. Kenyon's story is a huge (and for me also a scandalous) rip-off? Just read "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes and if you see anything different to the main story (beside the scotish accent that is) let me know.
Sorry Mrs Kenyon but subsequent time you have no inspiration whatsoever, try not to steal ideas from ancient (and extremely famous I may add) Greek writers only because it's easy and you pay no copyright fees. But if you cannot resist the temptation, at least mention in your book that your story is inspired (yea, right!) by this or that particular play and this or that particular author. So bad bad commentors like me cannot accuse you of stealing anymore.
P.S.: Try a search in Amazon under "Lysistrata" and enjoy the real thing :-)

I was so looking forward to this novel, but after reading it was alittle disappointed. Not alot mind you just alittle. I thought the plot (the woman forsaking their men everything) alittle farfetched. Why would the woman listen to a spinster is beyond me. Maggie has been in love with Braden forever and he is the all time ladies man. Braden helps Maggie go to there enemies land to try to reason with the laird there - alittle farfetched again. Along this journey he begins to fall for Maggie - well of course she is the only female around for miles on end. On and on the journey goes. Finally we arive at the end of their journey and the ending was just flat. The part with the little boy was just farfetched again. And when Braden gets mad at Maggie - whatever - he is a warrior is he not supposed to defend those weaker than he. By reading this review I am not giving anything away - there is no mystery to this novel. This author usually writes so much better than this. I just felt disappointed again and again with the plot and not so intresting characters.

In the very first book featuring the delectable MacAllister brothers, meet their youngest, Braden. Handsome as sin and more dangerous than the devil himself, Braden has women swooning at his feet from the time he reached manhood. Therefore, on the day he returns to Scotland to hear the news that the village shrew has rallied the women and led them all into hiding, threatening to stop serving the men unless they end their feud with a neighboring clan, his brothers agreed that Braden may be the answer to their prayers. With his seduction skills, angelic looks and renowned negotiation skills, aye, Braden will definitely have the little hellion feeding from his hand in subsequent to no time... or so they thought...
Having lost her brothers' lives through the ongoing feud between the MacAllisters and MacDouglas, Maggie ingen Blar decides enough is enough. Knowing that the only way to knock some sense into the men's heads is by denying them everything, she takes the risk of earning the men's wrath and convinces the women of both clans to go into hiding. Everything was going according to plan until Braden appears at the doorstep.
Ever since she was a child, she has yearned for him to look at her the way he looked at other women. Yet it seems that her brother was right when he said that she was the type of woman to whom men turn to for advice, the kind they develop friendship with. With Braden's sudden appearance, she goes week at the knees despite knowing that his seduction attempts are made to convince her to give up her plan. So how long can she resist this magnificent highlander?
After my delight with MASTER OF DESIRE, I couldn't wait to start reading this book. CLAIMING THE HIGHLANDER is a light and fun story featuring a delectable and oh-so-charming hero and a redheaded hellion for a heroine. I liked the premise of the story and really delighted in being introduced to the MacAllister brothers. Braden's good looks come with a really fun personality, and I enjoyed the sexual innuendos and witty exchanges between him and Maggie. I liked the fact that Maggie wasn't made out to be the village beauty, but rather someone who is passably attractive and has secretly been in love with Braden since she was a child.
Although the middle part of the book dragged a bit, CLAIMING THE HIGHLANDER is an entertaining book filled with witty dialogues and characters that you will wish to read about.
Next up is BORN IN SIN, which I guarantee is even better than this.
