Highlander's Christmas

The one that you love has cast you aside. As if that isn’t enough losing your title of your noble family because of a mistake? Was it a mistake? Heat break for the man you love and the family your lost. What’s a woman to do? This is of course about a secret. Deidre needs to keep to keep the lovechild who does not know their father knows they exist. But fate, villains, deceitful behavior will lead to .... Love again? Hmmm. Seems like a cliffhanger but you never know

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Such a excellent story, I love Deidre she is so strong, even after all she had been through, she doesn’t let it get her down. Hamish thinks he knows what he wants out of life, but he couldn’t be more wrong as to what it actually is. Loved the suspense and surprises in this book. Excellent ending.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

I really enjoyed everything about this awesome Christmas story! Hamish and Deidre fell in love 9 years earlier and both had made horrible decisions that brought on terrible hardships to Deirdre and their daughter Maeve. Hamish returns with the intent to kill and instead concocts a plan to save not only Deirdre but change the lives of everyone involved. I’ll not divulge any of the juicy details that would spoil the story for you. If your looking for a sweet read that includes just the right amount of heat, faerie’s, an intriguing storyline with deliciously hot Scottish dialogue and sexy stubborn characters, then you’ll love this awesome story! I received a copy of this book from the author and I’m very happy to leave this review! I definitely recommend this book as a good read!

Highlander's Christmas by Mariah Stone
A secret child. A pet gosling. And an unlikely couple who could get a second chance at love this Christmas—if he doesn’t kill her father. This is my second time reading this lovely story but this time we see this wonderful epilogue come to life and get to see how the cople fare six months later in this hard won happily ever after.

Mariah Stone brings a wonderfully warm Christmas love story filled with magic. This is Hamish's story, we met him briefly in Book One of Called by a Highlander Series, Highlander's Captive and it’s so good to read his story. She always manages to weave the most delightful stories filled with charming and intriguing characters.

Hamish is a mercenary, a loner, a man hired out to the highest bidder seeking to fund his dream of owning his own land. He lives a single life feeling it impossible to love anyone with his life as it is. Deidre Maxwell is the daughter of The Laird of Maxwell.

I loved Deidre! She was such a fascinating young woman who could wield a sword, read and write, strong and capable. She fell in love with Hamish all those years ago, but before she could tell him of her secret (of which she was sure he’d marry her and they’d live happily ever after) Hamish told her it was over between them and left, certain that her father would marry her to a better man than he.

She’d fallen in love with Hamish nine years ago and as a result gave birth to a child, a daughter, a precious nine year old named Maeve. Now he’s back, on a mission to kill her father! But when he sees her he knows she’s the only one woman he had ever loved.

Fascinating, complex characters and evil villains come to life within the pages of this wonderful story, a second chance tale. I love the way Mariah skillfully weaves a tale with a great plot and unique resolutions to bring about a happily ever after. Hamish and Deidre had much to overcome and Maeve was such a lovely child. There's always magic in Mariah's words and the gosling was a sweet bit of lagniappe. Mariah's writing as always is beautiful.

Thank you Mariah for this beautiful tale of forgiveness, love and happily ever after.
