The main characters of The Highland Chieftain were introduced at the end of The Highland Guardian and I am thrilled to finally get their story.
What I loved about The Highland Chieftain:
- Dunn loves Mairi and isn't afraid of that!
- Mairi and Dunn have a miscommunication/misunderstanding, which I normally hate, but they are able to get past it fairly early on (before the 1/2 way mark) and I loved that
- Its really Dunn and Mairi against the world-her father, the Redcoats, and anyone else who stands in their way! They won't let anyone hold them back!
- I loved the relationship between Dunn and Mairi. They are very different-she was raised as the daughter of an Earl who was expected to marry well. He is a rugged highlander who has been the right hand man of the Earl of Seaforth. However different these two might be, they absolutely love each other.
- Dunn says some seriously swoonworthy things throughout the story. Its so romantic!
The Highland Chieftain is perfect for a weekend binge that will take you away to Scotland and the beauty of the landscape while giving you a gorgeous love story for the ages! Jarecki also does a wonderful job of explaining her historical influences at the end of the book so you know what aspects of the book are historically accurate and which were embelished. As a history buff I think this is bliss!
Yall know I like maps and need to see what is described and Jarecki does a beautiful job of describing where in Scotland Dunn and Mairi are located.
