FORBIDDEN LOVE

Davina Montgomery is no ordinary English lady. For her own protection, she's been locked away from society, her true identity the Crown's most closely guarded secret. Until a shocking betrayal--and a bold rescue--land her in the arms of a fierce Highlander, a powerful warrior whose searing gaze and tantalizing touch awaken her body and soul.

UNDENIABLE DESIRE

As the firstborn son of a powerful Scottish laird, Robert MacGregor has no loyalty to the English throne, but he's not the kind of man to leave a woman in distress, even if she is English. He vows to deliver Davina to safety, unharmed and untouched. Yet one stolen kiss leaves them both smoldering with desire...and desperate for more. With Davina's secret threatening to destroy his clan, Rob must choose between everything he holds dear and the one woman he can't live without.

Book 1 in the " Children of the Mist Series " Robert MacGregor, travelling to the coronation of the King, sees the attack and massacre going on at St. Christopher Abbey. Edward, Captain of the Guard for the Abbey, asks Rob to find the Lady Davina he is to protect inside the Abbey and get her away to safety so the force attacking them can not kill her. Lady Davina Montgomery not knowing who it is who rides into the burning Abbey and grabs her, will not tell them anything when they ask. And so a beautiful love story begins. I liked the book but Rob was a little under - developed in his character and feelings. The other characters were developed well but the author got so caught up in making Rob tough that he had no life besides being a warrior, in my opinion.

(It is the year 1685. King Charles II has died. James of York is about to be crowned the new king.)

Lady Davina Montgomery has been locked away from society all her life. Her true identity is the Crown's most closely guarded secret. She resides on the southern Scottish border, within Saint Christopher's Abbey. Captain Edward Asher of the King's Royal Army and his men have guarded Davina for several years now. But somehow, someone has learned of Davina's existence and wants her dead.

Robert "Rob" MacGregor is the first born son of the powerful Scottish laird, Callum. His small group reaches the abbey to find it under attack. He vows to Captain Asher that he will rescue Davina and take her to safety. Soon Rob realizes he cannot stand the thought of being parted from the lady. With Davina's enemies on their trail, Rob must choose between all he holds dear and the brave young woman he cannot resist.

***** FIVE STARS! Author Paula Quinn keeps events as close to true history as possible. Set during one of England's more bloody eras, I found myself amazed at how smoothly these characters seemed to fit right in. The writing style is so vivid, I could almost see the scenery and hear the battles within the halls of Camlochlin Castle. This author is one to watch! *****

This is the first book ever I read from Paula Quinn and even though I was sceptical at first her way of writing and the way the storyline is set up really got to me. I totally adored the chemistry between the leads and I was anxious for them to overcome the obstacles in their way. I highly recommend the whole Children of the Mist series !

Davina Montgomery Has been living in hiding at St. Christopher's Abbey since she was born. Hiding as a Novice in training. She is being guarded by 100 English soldiers lead by Capt. Edward Asher. The Convent comes under attack with the intent on killing Davina. Robert/Rob MacGregor heir to the Chieftain and Laird of Clan MacGregor is on his way to The Coronation of King James the 7th. He runs right into the battle taking place at the convent. Rob is asked by Capt. Asher to help Davina and get her far away. Of Course Rob rescues her as the chapel is being burned to the ground and with all the Nuns inside he gets Davina out but can't help the other sister.

Davina is hiding her true identity from Rob and his Clan. Rob soon figures out who she really is. They fall in love as Rob takes Davina into hiding on the Isle of Skye were his Clan lives. I love stories like this with all the history behide it but in this case I think a lot of it was fictional. Still the story was very well written with great seconday charaters. The storyline moves fast. After sacrificing all of her life she finally gets her HEA. There are no surprises you will be able to figure out the storyline pretty quickly. If I had one complaint it would be I would have liked to see a more detail account of how King James carried out his retribution of his enemies and those trying to kill Davina.

4 Fabulous Stars!

FABULOUS! Simply fabulous!

I loved this book. It did, however, take me some time to fully enjoy listening to the audio version of the story. Until now, I haven't particularly cared to listen to audio books as I can read much faster on my own; I prefer my own internal voice; and, frankly, for some strange reason, I become beyond embarrassed listening to someone read a passionate sex scene aloud. I turn into a giggling teen that feels like I'm about to get caught doing something wrong. Lol. But, I had a long drive and listening to a book was the prefect solution. Ultimately, I found I enjoyed this narrator's voice.

This is my first taste of Paula Quinn and I was not disappointed. I finally understand why many of my Goodreads friends love her work. Her writing is polished, detailed, and captivating. Her characters are multilayered, flawed, and endearing. I easily became immersed in the characters and the engaging plot. My only complaint was that I felt a bit lost where characters were concerned, but that was my own fault considering I didn't read the first two books in her initial highlander series and, in addition, they are not offered in audio format.

Ravished by a Highlander is a feel-good historical romance that's full of heart and soul. It'll put a smile on your face and leave you feeling happy. This is romance at its best!
