Highland Groom

By Hannah Howell

A bold woman sets out to reclaim the laird she loves in this novel of fifteenth-century Scotland from a New YorkTimes–bestselling author.

Sir Diarmot MacEnroy, deciding his illegitimate children need a mother and his keep needs a proper lady, now stands before the altar with a gentle bride he hopes is too shy to disrupt his life or break his heart. The nuptials, however, are interrupted by the appearance of a flame‑haired beauty carrying two babies, boldly claiming that she is his wife and mother of his twin infant sons. Armed with her seven large brothers, she has come to demand her dues. Having waited one year for the return of the handsome laird who wed her, bedded her, then disappeared, Ilsa Campbell MacEnroy takes matters into her own hands and sets out to reclaim the man she briefly and passionately loved. Stunned by his denial, her heart softens when she learns of the injury that has ravaged his memory. Now she faces the nearly impossible task of conquering his past—and his fierce reluctance to share his heart. Though desire flares hot and wild between them, it will take more to win his trust. It will take the magic touch of a woman in love.

Reviews for Highland Groom

[n.w.moors-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Ilsa Cameron shows up just in time to stop her handfasted husband from marrying another woman. Diarmot MacEnroy was beaten up after leaving her a year ago and has no memory of his wife or the twin sons that she bore him. He's forced to marry her anyway in the church but is suspicious of her and her many red-haired brothers and cousins.While I understood that Diarmot was hurt after the way his first wife acted, I thought it took way too long for him to get over his misgivings about Ilsa. I was really annoyed at the way he treated her and his children. The resolution where he gets his memory back and suddenly remembers that he loves her was a little too convenient. Still, Ilsa is a fun character and her family provides some cute moments.
