I picked up this book because I am a Paula Quinn fan. She just puts so much into her work that I can't help but enjoy them. 
 Now, I can't say this book was one of her best but I did enjoy it. It really had that heart wrenching aspect I love as both the hero and his sister endured horrible treatment at the heroine's grandfather's hands. Makes things a bit interesting, no? 
 I don't know a thing about the MacGregors beyond the tidbits I've read in stories. But apparently they were outlawed and killed when found. Paula Quinn makes it sound like it was a great injustice against them and knowing a bit about the history between England and Scotland, I don't doubt it but that is all I know. In the story, it is the Campbells that lie, cheat and steal to punish the MacGregors for nothing more than existing and Callum defends his people with everything he has. 
 When he goes to kill the Earl of Argyll (Kate's uncle), he finds Kate's home under attack by a neighboring clan. The Earl's men get involved and all hell breaks loose. 
 Now our heroine IS NOT docile. She grabs a sword and goes out to fight back. Of course, she doesn't have the strength of a warrior and soon tires quickly, which is when Callum steps in and saves her. She is stunned and wounds him. 
 It really is great because from then on out Callum decides he can ransom her back and she realizes quickly that her family is as horrible as she things her Uncle is. Besides, who can resist the Highlander that snatched her up? 
 It is a pretty good story though, as I said, not Quinn's best. I do love the horseback scene, which you have to read to know anything about. 
 Maggie (Callum's sister) is really enjoyable as is her would be suitor Jamie. 
 I'm not keeping this book. I plan on swapping it but it was pretty good.
