Highlander Burning Desire A Scottish Medieval Historical Romance edition by Alisa Adams Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

• I have to be honest here. I wasn't all that keen on this book. It's a Scottish Historical Romance yet none of the characters spoke with a Scottish dialect except for the servants and some locals. I know it's tough to write that and maybe the author wrote it like this to make it easier for readers to understand what's being said. I don't know. But I like the challenge of figuring out what's being said and since I've read enough of them, it's not a challenge at all. Rather, it takes me back to the time and allows me to get lost in the story. With the modern language being used, I didn't get that pleasure.
  
  The story was actually quite good. It jumped from character to character and it made me wonder who the real main characters were, but it was okay. Allana is supposed to be getting betrothed to Niven after his father dies, but her sister, Bettina, is in love with him and wants him for herself.
  
  Meanwhile, Niven's mother has decided that she and Niven need to mourn for his father for six months, which meant no immediate betrothal for him. That gave Allana a chance to spread her wings a bit and she falls for Kendrick Muir. He was a scoundrel, to say the least.
  
  Who she ended up with was a bit of a surprise. It's like he came out of nowhere, but he packed a punch and made in impact. I didn't feel any chemistry between them at all. It was a letdown for me.
  
  As I said, the story was pretty good overall. It had a few minor errors that didn't distract me from the reading experience. My biggest problem with it is the modern language used in a historical context. It didn't work for me, but may work for others.
• I started reading this book with an expectation of lots of action and adventure as with the other novels by Ms. Adams. After reading for awhile, I was sure that this was going to disappoint me. Sure, Ms. Adams was doing her normal, fine writing, but I just did not feel good about where the story was going. I did commit to reading the whole book and, SURPRISE, my initial feeling about the story was wrong. I really enjoyed the story and the ending, along with the always appreciated extended epilogue, provided a well spent time enjoying the book. After completing my read, where I started out with a potential 3.0 review, I ended up with a 4.5 rounded up to a 5. Although there was not as much action and adventure as I would have liked, I truly did enjoy the tale of three women finding their HEA. I received a review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review. A turnaround! Thank you.
• Dear Allana wants to be married but the man she
  is supposed to be marrying might just not be the
  man for her.
  
  Her younger sister however is very much in Love 💘
  with Nevin the man who thinks he wants to marry
  Allana! Oh what tangled webs we weave.
  
  Another man enters the 📷picture and Allana thinks
  He might be the one and plans to marry him.
  Oh my, another woman? She will not let Allana
  have this man! Why not? Who is she?
  
  This story is full of secrets, surprises, intrigue
  and love but will Allana be one of the brides?
  I must deeply recommend you get this book.
  👀see for yourself just what happens to read
  Allana!
  
  Don't forget to get the Extended Epilogue! It
  too is very very interesting. I'm sure you will
  enjoy both too. I admit I'm tired of these
  Extended Epilogues being separate! I'd rather
  they be included in the original book!
• The novel was well written with some twists and turns. There was adventure, love, sorrow, and the characters were well explained in their differences. Two sisters just the opposite and find love in their own time and way. I loved the part of the knitting needle project and how it helped the tenants who worked for the Lairds and the love that was shown by Allana. I am an ARC reader but I did buy the novel before it was offered to me so my opinion didn't reflect that of an ARC reader. I do love her novels and read them for pleasure.
• This is my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. It’s also my first Highlander romance.
  What I really liked about this book is that it’s much more than a love story or should I say love stories taking place in the pages of this book. It has a true ring of feminism to it. Allana is a free spirit with an independent mind and wants to do so much more with her life than just meet the minimum expectations of what women were during those times. She’s feisty and won’t be satisfied to just know her place. Her place is whatever or wherever she deems it to be and she won’t be contained. I would imagine this was true of a lot of women throughout history but standing up and doing something about it was quite a challenge. I’m sure they were looked upon as inferior and different. The ultimate goal for a woman was to be betrothed, marry and have children. To deviate was paramount to becoming a spinster.
  Yes, there is a lot of story to be told and you can read the blurb to get the gist, better yet read the book to get the full story. I don’t do spoilers. That’s what the book is for and the blurb.
  What I will say is that Allana learns that sometimes life doesn’t always turn out like you planned.
  Yes, there are wonderful characters in this story and beautiful landscapes, intrigue, deviousness, romance and heat. It also gives you a good look into how hard things were during those times. What I found amazing is that to the characters it didn't seem hard. As a reader I couldn't imagine living like that. I guess we all adapt to our times. I did love reading the Scottish accent. I would’ve liked more of that.
  So yes, I was captivated by this beautiful story. I could picture the landscape in my mind. As I said it was my first book by the author and of this genre, but it won;t be last of either.
