Genevieve McInnes is another one of Maya Banks' strong, admirable, and highly memorable heroines. When Genevieve is forever marred, both in a physical and emotional manner by a cruel laird, she must persevere even though her heart can no longer take anymore. As adversity continues to target her within her own clan, Genevieve faces obstacles that display the heart of gold she has within. In a story that holds trust, loyalty and love in high regard, Maya Banks delivers a stunningly sweet story of how love has the ability to empower all.

Bowen has never seen anyone so beautiful in his life, but when Genevieve turns her head, revealing scars that will never heal, Bowen sees the destruction that her abusive laird has wrought on her. And those are just the scars that he can physically see. As he witnesses the cruelty others pay towards her, Bowen's natural protective instincts rise to the surface. However, despite all the hatred Genevieve endures, he finds that she is much stronger than she appears to be.

Maya Banks continues her Montgomerys and Armstrongs series with HIGHLANDER MOST WANTED, another fabulous, heart-wrenching story of epic proportions. Filled with action, clan politics and lessons in kindness and love, there is plenty to keep readers engaged and reading. Banks has a unique way of creating a world that readers love to return to. That being said, readers should definitely take the time to read the first book in the series, Never Seduce A Scot, as events of that book very much set up the premise for A HIGHLANDER MOST WANTED.

The Montgomerys and the Armstrongs are quickly becoming a staple on my highlander keeper shelf. For a story that goes beyond the typical romance, definitely consider Maya Banks as your new go-to highlander romance author. Her words sparkle just like the heroines she pens.

Book Summary

Genevieve McInnis is locked behind the fortified walls of McHugh Keep, captive of a cruel laird who takes great pleasure in ruining her for any other man. Yet when Bowen Montgomery storms the gates on a mission of clan warfare, Genevieve finds that her spirit is bent but not broken. Still, her path toward freedom remains uncertain. Unable to bear the shame of returning to a family that believes her dead or to abandon others at the keep to an imposing new laird, Genevieve opts for the peaceful life of an abbess. But Bowen’s rugged sensuality stirs something deep inside her that longs to be awakened by his patient, gentle caress—something warm, wicked, and tempting.

Bowen seizes his enemy’s keep, unprepared for the brooding and reclusive woman who captures his heart. He’s enchanted by her fierce determination, her unusual beauty, and her quiet, unfailing strength. But wooing her will take more than a seasoned seducer’s skill. For loving Genevieve, he discovers, means giving her back the freedom that was stolen from her—even if it means losing her forever.
