BOOK REVIEW- THE HIGHLANDER TAKES A BRIDE by Lynsay Sands

Sword fighting, swearing, and riding astride come naturally to Saidh Buchanan. Simpering and holding her tongue— definitely not. Raised alongside seven boisterous brothers, Saidh has little interest in saddling herself with a husband . . . until she glimpses the new Laird MacDonnell bathing naked in the loch. Though she's far from a proper lady, the brawny Highlander makes Saidh feel every inch a woman.

She has an angel's looks, a warrior's temper, and seeks out his kisses with wanton eagerness. Little wonder that Greer is intrigued by his comely guest. When reckless desire overtakes them, he's more than willing to make an honest woman of her. But Saidh is the target of a hidden enemy, and Greer faces the battle of his life to safeguard the woman he wants above all others.  Amazon 4 STARS

I liked it but it just felt like it went  on a bit too long.  On the plus side is the fact that both Saidh and Greer were great main characters.  Add to that her brothers and other secondary people and that added well to the story.  Alpin, the young squire to Greer, added some spunk and humor to the story as well.  

Mysteries and mysterious deaths? Yes, the story had that.  Adventure, danger and action, it had that too.  The romance was pretty good as well.  There is a surprise twist at the end, which was good.  No cliffhangers and a H.E.A. to complete the story.
