Protecting Her Was His Passion

High-born though she is, Kate Campbell isn't afraid to draw her sword. When raiders strike, she rushes into the fray...and is lucky when a mysterious Highlander shields her from a deadly blow. Swept onto his stallion, she soon discovers that her rescuer is her clan's most hated enemy: Callum MacGregor, the man they call The Devil. Yet she cannot ignore his achingly tender touch or the way his fiery gaze leaves her breathless.

POSSESSING HER WOULD BE HIS PLEASURE

Callum MacGregor has taken many Campbell lives, but he's never saved one--until now. Mesmerized by this spirited lass, he wants her by his side, even if it means holding her for ransom. As his fingers graze her sumptuous curves and tangle in her unruly tresses, Callum realizes Kate Campbell is his most dangerous foe of all. For he can't make love to her without betraying his kinsmen and his honor...and surrendering his heart forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5+ Stars: An intense captivating Scottish romance read!
Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2008
Set in 17th century Scotland, LAIRD OF THE MIST is a historical romance full of passion in which the historical clan background lays a solid foundation for Paula Quinn's riveting characterization and romance. In her fourth book, Paula Quinn moves away from the medieval period into a later period of history that gives readers a window into a more obscure slice of Scottish history as it might have been experienced by the men and women in their hearts, passionate and torn by past loyalties and even written law.

Kate Campbell is a strong, feisty woman not afraid to stand up for herself but when raiders arrive, a Highlander whisks her away on his stallion. Imagine her horror when she discovers that her rescuer is none other than the man they call the Devil....a man known for his brutality, a man whose name cannot even be spoken under penalty of law. Those who sympathize with the bloodthirsty MacGregor clan receive no sympathy but risk branding or hanging. When attraction and passion would unite them, can romance stand against centuries of clan history and law?

Callum MacGregor, a handsome but fierce warrior has given up everything, even his very name in the bloody feud between the Campbells and the MacGregors and the resulting proscription. As an outlaw and murderer, Callum is the ultimate wounded soul hero bent on revenge. With Kate in his hands, the granddaughter of the Earl of Argyll, the very man who imprisoned him in a dark dungeon in his youth, Callum knows he has the means to the ultimate vengeance in his hands. With even his very name wiped out of existence and hatred laying ruin to his soul, Kate's beauty and inner fire brings a glimmer into his heart. Will Callum deny the one hope he has to enter the world of living men again in his bid for retribution? With Kate and Callum now forced together in such close quarters, will the untold secrets and lies once come to light?

In LAIRD OF THE MIST, the passionate romance that characterizes Paula Quinn's romance is coupled with a new and more mature precision in her writing style. Whereas her debut novel LORD OF DESIRE uses descriptive prose and emotion to set the scene and passion, LAIRD OF THE MIST has both the intensity of her earlier works plus more subtle variations in style that show her true skill as a narrative artist. The addition of more secondary characters and the addition of more historical details creates a romance that expands outward, allowing the reader to feel the time period in a way that heightens both passion of the romance and the reader's desire to know more about the history between these two clans. Paula Quinn use of focused description and a carefully unfolding plot in the theme of the name and the unspeakable name creates an elegantly built narrative structure that intensifies the emotional depth of her characters. In LAIRD OF THE MIST, everything works together ---- characterization, plot, historical research that becomes a lived reality of her characters, writing style and thematic structure ---- to create an unforgettable romance. LAIRD OF THE MIST is a beautiful, intense romance, marking Paula Quinn as a wonderful new voice in historical romance, a new voice that has truly found her niche. LAIRD OF THE MIST is quite simply an awesome captivating romance!

Super! captivating! full of actions. Before writing this review I already read several of the MacGregor saga ( from the children of the Mist, to the Laird of the Black Isle).... and I have to say this book as well as a "highlander never surrenders" have something special. I absolutely loved all the protagonists, and the plots are beautiful and gripping! LOVED THEM!!

I just really enjoyed this book. A nice flow to it and a hero who is not perfect but evolves during the book into a hero worth loving. Kate is very strong, brave and inspirational. I have read the full series from Paula Quinn and enjoyed them all. All the characters a bit different to seem new and you also get a chance to catch up with the lives of the favourite characters through out all the books.

I enjoyed this highlander romance the most of all I have read and am actually reading it again now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laird of the Mist-A Joyfully Recommended Title
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2008

All the Campbells know is that the MacGregors are ruthless,
unscrupulous madmen, and since they have been proscribed, they
shouldn't even exist any longer.

All the MacGregors know is that the Campbells are lower than low,
thieving men who won't even hesitate to imprison children for years.

What will happen when Callum MacGregor saves Kate Campbell in a sword
fight? He finds her intriguing and though she is able to hold her own
against a number of the foes, in the end she is tiring and he rides in
to save her. The first thing this headstrong woman does is take a
swing at him, thinking he is also attacking her. But when it is
discovered she is the only survivor of the attack, he kidnaps her to
use as ransom, to draw her snake of an uncle out.

Kate is drawn to this man. She can't believe it is her hated enemy
but she also can't help her feelings. If he is really so bad why does
he stick up for those who need help, and why are his men so loyal?

Callum can't believe the first woman who has held his attention in
years is a Campbell. Even though he is drawn to her, he knows it
would never work. He would be betraying his clan and most
importantly, his sister. But he and his men are all intrigued by her
actions. how she never complains and doesn't seem to act like most of
the Campbells they know. Can he take a chance and possibly give in to
his feelings?

Laird of the Mist is one of the best Scottish Highland romances I have
read, and I read a lot. The author did a fantastic job in showing how
prejudices are taught and if they are taught young enough, it is hard
to overcome them, but possible. Her heroine is strong, smart,
understanding and not afraid to take a stand. Additionally Ms. Quinn
was able to take an actual historical event and build a number of
believable characters around the situation. The only thing that
disappoints me is that I have to wait for another 6+ months for her
next book to be available. Laird of the Mist was easy for me to
Joyfully Recommend as a must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful love story for lovers ot typical Scottish romance stories
Reviewed in Germany on May 6, 2015

I think this is a typical Scottish romance story with a very tough hero laird and a damsel in distress from a enemy clan."I love you", "I cannot love you", "I am doing this for your own good", this sort of things.

The hero comes from an outlawed clan, being despised and hunted by all highlanders. The heroin is raised to hate his clan because she was told that his clan is responsible for her losing her family. They met, hero saved heroin, knowing she is from the enemy clan. They of course hate each other in the beginning and this went on for a while. I am however relieved that Paula Quinn did not spent too many pages on how they despise each other because of family feuds. Constant bickering gets so old so fast.

Cliche it may be, but i think it is up to the writer to make the story come to life. Paula Quinn gave these characters lives. And for that, the book gets 4 stars from me overall. Writers have used similar plots and characterization but not every book that employed similar mechanism is a success. Laird of the Mist is one of the success stories.

I really appreciate that Paula Quinn made the heroin to overcome her prejudice sooner than later. The heroin learned soon that what she heard about the hero was falsehood and did not fight overmuch internally over it. I really do not like when romance novel writers describe the characters' internal struggle over things like family feuds, old history and blah blah blah. I mean, use it as a plot, by all means, but don't make it the main plot, please. Thankfully, Paula Quinn did not do that. She focused on the romance development and how the characters overcame the struggles (difficult but did not invest too many pages on describing them).

There are a few things that bother me:

1. At some points I did feel that the descriptions are jumping around a bit. I had to re-read some paragraphs because the story feels inconsistent. Is he standing in front of her or behind her? Did she drop the sword before or after she walked away? The book isn't very "tidy" in the sense that there are some small things hanging around. The main plot is good and works well. The details, need some work.

2. I was very surprised to read that Callum (oh sorry, the hero) has a castle and does not seem to lack funds. From the description and the story flow I was imagining an impoverished clan with little resource. But he does not seem like that at all. Not that I mind, it is just I had to correct my mental picture of Callum and his men. I imagined them to be a poor lot (monetarily) but they seem to do well enough.

3. I skipped all parts about Kate (the heroin's) evil uncle and good brother, where they are planning to rescue her, albeit for different reasons. I understand it is necessary to build the plot. But I feel that the story could have done without that particular piece of information. Thankfully, Paula did not spend too much time on this.

Overall I think it is a decent highland romance, with all the necessary elements, gripping conversations and vivid descriptions. There isn't much new, in the sense that you won't be surprised by what happens in the story. But the way the lead characters are portrayed keeps you interested. Your heart goes out to them and wants them to find the courage to come to each other with open arms. You feel for them and smile when they manage a few moments of tenderness. If you compare it to really original works, it will probably be 3.5 stars. But for a wonderful reading experience, this book gets 4 stars from me.
