Review: A Highland Rogue To Ruin by E. Elizabeth Watson

 

For fans of Diana Gabaldon and Scarlett Scott comes a story of warring clans, illicit longing…and the brutish Highlander who risks it all.

Known as the “Demon of the Seas,” Tormund MacLeod only wants vengeance for his brother’s murder. At this year’s Lughnasadh festival, the vicious and unyielding Laird of the powerful MacDonald clan will know the bite of his sword. But the festival offers many distractions—including a fair and bonny masked vixen whose touch disarms Tormund, body and soul. And och, like the cursed MacLeod he is, he wants what he shouldn’t have…

Lady Brighde MacDonald might understand her brother’s overprotectiveness—but she doesn’t have to like it. What she needs is the reckless freedom in the arms of an imposing, rough, and sweet-talking Highlander. Only too late, they both recognize that they’re enemies. She’s the sister of the man Tormund wants dead. And he is the brutish blackguard of the clans…

Now their tryst could mean war. Brighde would see a truce, but it means she must convince her brother and the man she loves to lay down their swords. But Tormund hides a long-buried secret that could destroy both clans.

My Review

A Highland Rogue to Ruin by E. Elizabeth Watson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I didn't realize until the very end that this was related to Twelfth Knight's Bride, which I really enjoyed. This book is about James's younger sister Brighde and Tormund.

Tormund MacLeod is seeking revenge for the death of his brother. At this year's Lughnasadh festival, he'll take the opportunity to make Laird MacDonald pay. But there are many distractions at the festival, a fair and bonny vixen who charms him like no other woman.

Lady Brighde MacDonald understands the reason for her brother's protectiveness but it's becoming quite suffocating. She needs a little reckless freedom. Which she finds in the arms of the rough sweet-talking Highlander.

Only after their night of passion do they discover that they are enemies.

Their tryst could mean war. Brighde would like there to be peace between their families. But how will she convince her brother and the man she loves to put their differences aside?

Thank you so much to the author, Entangled and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
