Synopsis:

After a harsh betrayal, Magnus “Strath” Sutherland, Laird of Dornoch, accepts a commission from the king to squelch an English lord’s siege at the Scottish border. What better way to torment his new English enemy than to defeat his army and steal his beautiful bride? At first, Strath plans to toss the Sassenach lass into a dark cell and forget about her, but there is something about the way she defies him that he finds alluring, not to mention how very much he’d like to kiss her.

Eva de Clare, youngest daughter of the Earl of Northwyck, is pledged in matrimony to a cruel lord blackmailing her family. Her salvation comes in the form of a terrifying Highlander who interrupts the ceremony. But salvation turns to horror when she’s plucked from where she stands and whisked across the Scottish border. Eva isn’t about to be made a prisoner of war, and once she sees the kindness beneath her captor’s hard exterior she decides she won’t be sent back to England to be wed either. In fact, she just might be the woman to warm the Highland warrior’s hardened heart.

Excerpt from THE HIGHLANDER’S STOLEN BRIDE:

What is the bastard up to?
Magnus “Strath” Sutherland, the Laird of Dornoch and Earl of Strathnavor, sat on his horse in the woods just beyond the perimeter of Northwyck Castle. He’d been sent south on a mission by his King, Robert the Bruce. One, to determine if the daughter of Lord Northwyck was dead as had been claimed, and also to stop a certain vile Sassenach lord from his continued raids at the border, who may or may not be holding her captive. That man was in the castle before him.
A plan to ambush Belfinch and his men on the road had been thwarted when the whoreson disappeared. Unfamiliar with the land this far past the English border, Strath and his men had found their quarry on the moors riding at a clipped pace toward this castle. This turnabout would work in their favor it seemed, since he could now take care of both of his king’s requests at once.
The keep was only about four stories high, if he had to guess, and the wall was about half that. There was a thin moat around the perimeter, and a village to the west. Smoke filtered out of a few chimneys in the village, but it was only late afternoon, so most of the peasants would likely be in the fields working. Smoke came from several chimneys in the castle keep.
From the intelligence Strath had been able to gather, this was the home of another man, the Earl of Northwyck. None of Belfinch’s men had waited outside, which meant the Earl of Northwyck was used to the men coming here, or he’d been forced. But Strath was betting on him being an ally. If that were the case, which seemed likely, it would behoove him and his men to remove all the threats.
This was war, after all. And if he let them go, they’d only continue the border raids he’d been sent to stop. Strath wasn’t about to disappoint his king. As to why the king cared about a lass, that was a question he’d have to leave unanswered, for his liege had not offered the information.
“What did ye find?” he asked when Tomaidh, his finest scout and best mate, returned.
“Two entrances that I could make out. The main gate has a wide drawbridge over the moat, still lowered from when Belfinch’s men went inside, and a postern gate that looks to be accessible only by a narrow drawbridge, but it was not lowered. The walls are guarded by a dozen men, more concentrated on the front gate with only a few at the postern. And I think one spotted me.”
“Damn.” Strath, as any warlord about to lay siege, much preferred the element of surprise.
“I was careful, but when I mounted my horse by the woods, I think my sword hilt caught the sun just when there was a break in the clouds. I heard a horn blown in the distance, which I’m guessing was the warning. I didn’t come straight here. I rode in the opposite direction and circled back through the woods in case they sent anyone out to follow me.”
“Ye did good.”
“I’m sorry, laird.”
“Dinna fash over it, Tomaidh. We’ll wait then. If they spotted ye, they’ll likely be preparing for an unwanted guest. With enough time, they will think spotting ye was nothing more than someone riding through. They will let their guard down.” Probably not all the way, but enough so he could still attack with success.
And he would succeed.

Tracy’s Review:

The Highlander’s Stolen Bride by Eliza Knight
Tracy’s rating: 4 of 5 stars

Series: The Sutherland Legacy, #2

Release Date: July 31, 2018

Lady Eva de Clare, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Northwyck is not having a good day, for reasons unknown to her, her father is being blackmailed by the vile Lord Belfinch and she has just been informed, that she has to marry the man, today!

Magnus “Strath” Sutherland, Laird of Dornoch and Earl of Strathnavor has been sent to England by King Robert for two reasons, one to capture Lord Belfinch and two to find out of Lord Northwyck’s youngest daughter Lady Eva is still alive. Strath arrives and storms the keep interrupting the wedding, after Belfinch is knocked out cold, Strath takes Eva prisoner, thinking Belfinch will follow.

Strath is attracted to Eva, but events in his recent past with women have left him wary and unwilling to trust. But Eva is a truly sweet woman and she worms her way into not only Strath’s heart, but his men as well. By the time they reach his Uncle Jamie’s keep, Strath knows his heart is well and truly lost.

Eva returns that love, but she has not been completely honest with him and when she learns of his past betrayal, is worried that her secret will destroy any tender feelings he has for her.

This is a fast read with very likeable characters, betrayal, secrets, warm love scenes, cameos from the Stolen Bride series, a bit of action, some shocking revelations and a very sweet HEA. There is a decidedly modern feel to the dialogue and a couple of dropped story lines that kept this from being a five star read for me, but it is a very entertaining book and I would be happy to recommend it.

This is the second book in the series, but it can easily be read as a standalone title.
