Description
DARING ESCAPE Sir Ian Colquhoun has never feared danger. So when Lady Lachina MacFarlan is captured by a ruthless enemy, mounting a daring rescue seems only natural for the courageous knight. But once he has Lina safe in his arms, he sees that the prim young girl from his youth has grown into an alluring woman of extraordinary gifts. When circumstances force him to take her as his wife, the stakes-for her life and their growing love-rise even higher. DANGEROUS DESIRE Grateful for Ian's bravery, though wary of his recklessness, Lina agrees to his unexpected proposal. As the two begin to know each other as husband and wife, Lina realizes that she desires more than a passionate protector. But when evil threatens both her family and the knight she has come to love, the lady must take the greatest chance of all. . .

Reviews4 1/2 stars, Top Pick! The last of the Scottish Knights trilogy is Scott's reward to her fans. The exquisite, yet subtle portrayal of her characters, coupled with their budding romance, hastens the reader's emotional involvement with the novel. Excellent melding of historical events and people into the sensuous love story greatly enhances an excellent read. - RT Book Reviews on HIGHLAND LOVER Infusing her characters with passion, courage, and often a wry sense of humor, Scott (Highland Hero) brings all the violence, splendor, and wicked machinations of medieval Scotland (and England when necessary) to vivid life in a thrilling story that makes good use of historical events and characters. Guaranteed to please. - Library Journal on HIGHLAND LOVER Rave for Highland Master: "Great with sensual scenes, Scott excapes the cliche of a masterful male taming a 'wildcat' woman; instead, Fin and Catriona learn to communicate and compromise in this solid roomantic adventure....Scott...deftly handles period dialogue and attitudes." - Publishers Weekly For Highland Master: "Marvelous Scottish tale of a time in history when various plays for power were held....a piece of history as well as a great tale. Amanda Scott does it again with another fascinating part of Scottish history." - Romance Reviews Magazine On Highland Master: "[Scott] uses her knowledge of Scottish history to weave an engrossing and sexy story about Highland life in the 1400s." - Robert Walch - The Salinas Californian Amanda Scott has an uncanny knack of picking up her readers and plunking them down right in the middle of her storyworld. The physical settings, the tenor of the times, the characters, the language, and the political and family tensions, all present an unmatched air of authenticity to her work...Highland Master is an eminently satisfying read. - Romance Reviews Today
