  Highland Hero by Cynthia Breeding My rating: 4 of 5 stars Warning this one is a SLOWBURN and it's really good. This book moves at a pretty quick pace.

Because as we see Rory and Juliana start to develop feelings for each other, we also get lots of adventure as they try to make their way back to Strae Castle.

He’d get his money and perhaps some peace among the clans. He has a fortnight to win the heart of the lady with the voice of an angel despite her sharp tongue. Twelfth Night is merry and bright as Aileana and James realize a true co...
