Forbidden Highlander

Written by Donna Grant

Narrated by Antony Ferguson

Fallon McLeod has gifts any
warrior would covet-fierce strength, unmatched skill, even immortality.
But those gifts have come at a price that puts everyone he loves at
risk. Only when his brother, Quinn, is taken captive does Fallon leave
the seclusion of his Highland home to seek the king's aid. And though
every woman at court would gladly be his for the asking, one alone
causes desire to roar to life within him: beautiful, mysterious Larena
Monroe.Rumors swirl around the castle about "The McLeod" but
Larena knows the truth. Like Fallon, Larena is searching for a way to
vanquish the evil Druid who wants to wreak havoc on earth. Drawn to
Fallon in spite of her fear, she surrenders to a passion that shocks
them both with its raw intensity. But Larena dares not hope for more-not
when she holds a secret that could turn her fiery Highland love against
her forever . . .

Reviews for Forbidden Highlander

[addictofromance · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I truly loved this one and many of the elements of the story had me captivated. I have recently fell in love with Grant's historical paranormal series, and this series is so unique and different and not what you expect, in fact I might lean toward a bit more fantasy. In Forbidden Highlander we have three brothers, who are immortal, and each of them have a beast inside of them, with godlike gifts. Fallon's brother has been taking hostage by their nemesis and he is desperate to find a way to free him, the key one woman...Larena Monroe. Larena is in hiding, from their mutual enemy and seeks refuge from being on the run every day of her life. What she doesn't expect to find is her future mate, a man to love and stand by her side. This story pretty much starts off after the first book left off, and I would highly recommend you read this series in order. the first book really sets the tone for the series, and even though Grant explains the background information, I feel you really need the first book to understand more fully what is happening in this story. i really liked the various qualities that made this story a true gem. Donna Grants has such a compelling storytelling ability, and draws you into the story in ways you don't expect. There is no dull moment in this book, and I was pretty much at the edge from beginning to end. What I truly loved was seeing the brothers and the complexity of the plot that works its way into the story, we see some very intense moments and boy did I just love this one almost as much as the first book. What a wild ride of adventure, dangerous villains, plenty of steamy action and sword fighting, and a powerful romance to steal your heart.

It's a good story but it's definitely one that makes you have to read all the others. There's one storyline in the book that evidently continues from the first book and goes to this book and onto the next.

I thought I loved the first book in this series, but this one is definitely my favorite. I think Fallon has to be my favorite warrior! From page one until the end there is always something happening and just keeps you glued to the book. Full of action, love, Romance, mystery and more!I love that in this book Donna gave us a woman full of power and just as strong as the male warriors. Everything just went together and was very easy to envision. Donna Grant's Dark Sword series is slowly climbing to my top three. Love it!

FORBIDDEN HIGHLANDER by Donna Grant is a spellbinding historical romance set in 1603 Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the second in A Dark Sword Novel, but can easily be read as a stand alone. Some of the characters from the first book Dangerous Highlander reappear in this one also.It has danger, romance, sensuality, secrets, passion, demons, druids, an extremely evil witch who is after more power, dark magic, find their destinies, true love and a battle to overcome an ancient curse. The hero, Fallon is the eldest of the MacLeod brothers( Fallon, Lucan, and Quinn). We meet Lucan in Dangerous Highlander. Fallon is strong, handsome, is immortal due to his demon, drank to much to try to keep his demon at bay,is battling guilt from not being able to save his family,and falls for the beautiful Larena.The heroine, Larena,is beautiful, has a dark secret,fears for her life, needs the MacLeod clan to help her. For Larena is also has a demon, a female demon one of few, if not the only one known. She holds the secret to how to vanquish the evil druid who wishes to wreak havoc on earth and mankind.Sparks fly between Fallon and Larena for she is able to open his heart and his soul. The story is about Fallon and Larena and their quest to find true love. I would highly recommend this book especially if you enjoy romance, passion, dark, sensual and enchanting reading. It is fast paced page turning and will keep you on the edge of yours seat. I am waiting for the next installment to learn about the younger brother Quinn, who has been captured by the evil witch and the MacLeods out to free and destroy the evil witch.
