highlander romance

Forbidden Highlander: A Dark Sword Novelthis is the second book in the series by Donna Grant i happened to get this one first so the story of Fallon was a bit confusing as to why he was reluctant to release his god (back story to fight the Romans out of Scotland the Druids and Celtic made a spell to place demon gods inside their best warriors but this backfired when the result was too good so the gods were bound inside the warriors and passed down thru the generations with any problems) the main story evolves around a power hungry drough named Diedre who starts unleasing all the gods again--Fallon and his two brothers Lucan and Quincy escape from her and live in their old family castle together where they have been gathering all the other warriors who escaped and are planning to go back to her fortress mountain to rescue Quincy who has been captured while in London Fallon meets a female Warrior who has the Scroll that lists all the warriors. a copy is maded of this to bargain with Diedre to get her to release Quincy who she thinks is her mate--good read but get the first book too to fill in the gaps this is a three book series

Another great read!

You know usually the second book in the series is not as good as the first. But I am so glad to say I enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed the first book "Dangerous Highlander". I was not sure that I was going to like Larena. With Lorena being the first and only female warrior I thought she was going to have this over the top woman's "I can do it all and don't need a man" personality! However, Donna Grant developed her character to be extremely well balanced. Larena is both warrior woman with the soul of a woman who wants to stand with her man. Larena even with her being a warrior knew her limits and respected the opinions of Fallon. I loved the fact that she did not make stupid choices. She is the perfect woman for Fallon who finally grabs the role of Laird of the Mcleod Clan and has the fealty of all the warriors flocking to his castle. Fallon and Larena certianly heated up the pages with their passion and love. I loved seeing Fallon finally becoming the man his father raised him to be! Another thing I loved about this book is Ms. Grant did not leave out Lucan, Cara or the any of the other warriors, they ALL have become family to one another! I cannot wait for each of their stories and I hope that each book released is better than the last. This book like "Dangeorus Highlander" holds so much magic, love, mystery and slowly the puzzle is coming together. Another great book from Donna Grant! She is slowly edging toward becoming my #1 Author!

Must read

Fallon MacLeod and his brothers are the last of the MacLeod clan. The MacLeod clan was destroyed by Deirdre. She wants the brothers for herself. She once had them long ago. The MacLeod men are cursed with strong Gods entrapped inside each of them. Fallon feeling horrible that he didn't do more for his clan decides to travel to see King James to ask for his help. Larena Monroe has been searching for the MacLeods for a long time. When she learns that Fallon is near, she seeks him out. She needs his protection but can she get him to listen to her? Forbidden Highlander is book two in the Dark Sword series. I enjoyed Dangerous Highlander but Forbidden Highlander blew me away. I couldn't get enough of Fallon and Larena. Fallon and Larena sizzled and smoked together. I like that Larena was an equal to Fallon. This book is darker and edgier then the first one. If you like historical novels with hot, sexy warriors and strong heroines then you have to check out this series. The only thing forbidden about Forbidden Highlander is if you don't pick up a copy of this book today!

super historical fantasy

The McLeod brothers (Fallon, Lucan and Quinn) were descendents from a cadre of warriors created by Druids to repel the Romans from Scotland and England. For three centuries the siblings hid from Deirdre who wants their magic. However in 1603, Lucan meets his soulmate (see Dangerous Highlander), but Quinn was captured by their enemy. In Edinburgh Fallon meets and falls in love with Lady Larena Monroe. He is shocked to realize she is a warrior; the only female he ever met. She accompanies Fallon to the McLeod estate, a haven for warriors and Druids. As Deirdre assaults the stronghold, Fallon plans to rescue his brother, but first proposes to his beloved. She wants to say yes, but knows she conceals from her beloved a dark secret that will turn his love to loathing. The second McLeod brother historical fantasy is a terrific tale with a nice twist that readers will know is coming yet Donna Grant makes the spin fun to follow. The story line is fast-paced and is more than just a middle book as Fallon's fate is decided. With Quinn still held captive by the obsessed Deirdre, sub-genre fans will be impatient for his Dark Sword legend as the audience anticipates his confrontation with his much stronger jailer.

Forbidden Highlander

The second book in the Dark Sword Series, Grant does not disappoint. I would really read the first one and then read the second one as there are important characters and plot to take in. I love how Grant creates such great characters and entrances the reader with the dialogue, and scenes. A must read! This book has made me want to go re-read Grant's other novels and series. This is an author to watch out for!
