About this audiobook
Scottish Highlands, 1329.
Sir James McKenna, the second son of the powerful McKenna Chief, knows he has found his destiny when he falls in love with sweet Lady Davina Armstrong, niece of the Armstrong Chief. Orphaned in childhood, Davina has always felt like an outsider, and with James, she finally feels that she belongs. But their plans for a happy future are shattered after a brutal attack by a band of rogues.
Horrified, Davina’s overprotective family quickly shelters her from everyone - including James. Five years later, James is a changed man. His fighting skills sharpened to perfection, he is hardened by the war and destruction he’s endured as a Scottish knight - and by the loss of Davina. Weary, he returns home - and is shocked to find Davina there. Is it too late for them to start anew, or will the past dare to lay claim to their future once more?

Reviews for The Highlander Who Loved Me
15 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Highlander Who Loved Me by Adrienne Basso is a 2015 Kensington publication. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This story grabbed my attention right away, when James and Davina met and the chemistry between them exploded to life. Then something truly horrible happens and their wedding plans are called off and the two go their separate ways. I felt the set up was ripe for some really great developments and the possibility of addressing some serious topics with love working it's healing magic. But, the story suddenly shifted gears and became something else entirely. Davina and James are reunited after five years, but Davina still insist she can not marry him. However, she does strike up a flirtation with James' brother Malcolm. While, Davina may have initially been flattered, and thought the flirtation harmless, it became apparent that it was serious and the encouragement of it was not all that cool, in my opinion. For me, the best part of the story was the intrigue that puts Davina in danger, which takes the mystery to center stage, and that was a good thing, because otherwise I may have lost interest or my patience. Although the tug of war between brothers was uncomfortable for me, and the weird way James and Malcolm's parents behaved by setting up the competition between them was a little unusual, I did enjoy the retelling of the legend of the mistletoe plant and how it became associated with kissing. James and Davina do finally get their long overdue happily ever after and it's possible that in the future we could find out what happens to some of the other characters in this story and see them find true love too. The story has merits and faults in equal measure, I think, so I'm going to settle on a three star rating with this one.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice book. So much time wasted because of a terrible and greedy woman. Loved James and Malcolm. Really enjoyed it
