Goodreads Synopsis:A warrior is caught between family loyalty and forbidden love in book two of bestselling author Maya Banks’s sensual new trilogy featuring three indomitable Highlanders.
Fiercely loyal to his elder brother, Alaric McCabe leads his clan in the fight for their birthright. Now he is prepared to wed for duty, as well. But on his way to claim the hand of Rionna McDonald, daughter of a neighboring chieftain, he is ambushed and left for dead. Miraculously, his life is saved by the soft touch of a Highland angel, a courageous beauty who will put to the test his fealty to his clan, his honor, and his deepest desires.
An outcast from her own clan, Keeley McDonald was betrayed by those she loved and trusted. When the wounded warrior falls from his horse, she is drawn to his strong, lean body. The wicked glint in his green eyes ignites a passion that will follow them back to Alaric’s keep, where their forbidden love draws them deeper into the pleasures of the flesh. But as conspiracy and danger circle closer, Alaric must make an impossible choice: Will he betray his blood ties for the woman he loves?
My Review:
The second installment in the McCabe trilogy does not disappoint. Alaric is a caring and gentle hero that just stole my heart away. Keeley was so fun to read about. She could definitely take care of herself and I loved the way she stood up to others. Keeley and Alaric's relationship was pretty much forbidden since Alaric was supposed to marry Rionna McDonald. Alaric and Keeley both knew what they had to do and it was heart-wrenching to see two people who are so perfect for each other and so in love give up their happily ever after for the sake of their clan. The ending, though, couldn't have been better. I loved every second of this story. It was sweet, romantic and emotional. This book, for me, surpassed the first book in the trilogy. I can not wait for Caelen and Rionna's story.
