Oh lordie, this book was one delightful read!
Prisoner of the Highlander by Kate Robbins is a truly remarkable romance novel centered in Scotland! Annabella Beaufort and Alexander MacDonald find themselves in a very interesting situation. Alexander has kidnapped Annabelle and is keeping her captive so he can try to get his Father back. His Father, a great King and leader, has been taken by Annabella’s cousin’s husband (who is also royalty). The Highlanders keep Annabella captive, but maybe… just maybe… there’s a spark between Alexander and Annabella.
Call me crazy, but these Stockholm syndrome stories seem to be this strange trope I actually enjoy! I don’t know why I find these stories seductive, because it can be downright weird. Luckily, Kate has made this story not feel creepy (like it could of) but seductive instead! I found myself hooked to every word and I could barely put it down. I ended up binging the final 3/4 of the book because I really needed to know what happened to the lovebirds Annabella and Alexander!
I didn’t need to read any previous novels in this series to understand the story. Honestly, I felt like this was a standalone – but I’m sure there’s a good backstory hidden somewhere. Either way, it’s an easy story to jump into and as a reader, you won’t be confused in the slightest! That being said, I absolutely want to continue reading this series! Kate’s a marvelous romance writer, and I love a good Scottish tale!
This novel has some erotic scenes in it, so it’s not for the faint of heart. The sex scenes alone make this an adult novel. So, reader beware! If you’re looking for a soft, conservative novel then you’re looking in the wrong place. The sex was hot, intense and breaks a few of the traditional rules back in the day.
I’d absolutely recommend this book if you love romance, a splash of erotica, or Highlander and similar stories. It’s a great addition to your library!
Five out of five stars!
