Book Review: Amusing and Sensual - Great Finale to Series
Summary: 4 Stars
With HIGHLANDER IN LOVE London gives the reader another witty and passionate tale in the final conclusion to her Highlander series featuring the Lockhart family siblings. Mared Lockhart had endured having to live with the knowledge that she'd most likely never wed, or for that matter, never love because of the consequences that would ultimately take the life of any man she would love enough to become betrothed. Since most people knew of the curse, and the family finances were such that supporting Talla Dileas took all available funds, Mared had no opportunity to go to a bigger city where there might be better prospects.
Payton Douglas, Laird of Eilean Ross had known Mared Lockhart all her life, and even though she'd pummeled him quite nicely when at the age of ten he thought to take away the six year old Mared's sweetmeat - he still held her in esteem. That same esteem, had over the years, grown and though Mared had grown up hating all things Douglas, Payton still held out hope. When the Lockhart's borrowed three thousand pounds, he gave it with the understanding and agreement that should they not be able to pay, Mared would consent to be his wife. The day the loan was to be repaid Mared refused to honor the debt - in spite of Payton's monumental effort to court her. When all his efforts came to naught, Payton demanded she come to his home for a year in order to repay the debt and to serve as his housekeeper. Much to Payton's dismay, he discovered that having the proud beauty under his very nose turned out to be more of a penance for him rather than for her, even as Mared's heart finally began to see Payton, not so much as a `Douglas' but more as a very potent and highly desirable `man'!
___ With her trademark blend of sensuality and humor, Julia London never disappoints her audience in this latest novel as Mared and Payton learn to look past their differences and discover their sizzling affinity for each other. Once the Lockhart curse was exposed and explained away; and while I could understand Mared wanting to shed the shackles of the curse and walk proudly for the first time with head held high in Edinburgh; I did have trouble with her leaving Payton. I FELT Payton's devastation at Mared's refusals as he all but opened his heart and bled for Mared. I did love the epilogue and loved the way the author advanced the future to include all the previous characters lives as well. As a stand-alone book, this HIGHLANDER IN LOVE is wonderful, and I can, and do, recommend the entire series (HIGHLANDER UNBOUND and HIGHLANDER IN DISGUISE) as well for an amusing and truly sensual reading experience! -- Marilyn,(...)
Summary of Highlander in Love
Raised to despise the Douglas name, Mared outwardly agrees to the marital bargain for the sake of her family; secretly, she concocts a plan to ensure Payton will not wish to marry her. Seeing the handsome, virile laird Payton face-to-face, however, threatens a centuries-long enmity -- and awakens Mared's deepest desires. But she will not be swayed. Choosing to repay her family's debt by working as his housekeeper instead of wedding him, she finds herself inexorably drawn to the man she vowed to resist. Then a profound discovery changes everything....Now, no longer bound by a promise to her family, Mared must let her heart decide if the laird Payton is the enemy of past legend -- or if he holds the key to a future filled with a passion beyond her wildest dreams.
