"Highland Knight of Rapture" b Amy Jarecki

My Thoughts....

What a amazing captivating series..'Highland Knight of Rapture #4' that featured Lady Helen and Sir Eoin MacGregar in this historical 'Scottish' romantic read. In this read the reader will find a little bit of it all...from 'treachery, deceit, secrets, conflict, action, love and passion' that will also give the reader gets quite a moving plot, adventure and romance. We find from the read that Lady Helen had gotten into this marriage by her brother{Duncan] who was unbeknown to him who turned out to be 'Helen's worst nightmare.' As the stories continues we learn that Eoin had secretly loved [Lady Helen since childhood but will Eoin be able to rescue her from that horrible husband [Aleck] after he sees what situation that she lived under? What will happen as Lady Helen tries to get an annulment from the Pope? Will these two get their HEA? This is where you will have to pick up this good read to see for yourself how well this author gives the reader such a well written read. I found the hero quite a take charge person definitely a 'knight' and with the heroine being a strong person who had truly tried to keep her marriage intacted to that awful brutish husband Aleck MacIain. I liked how this author will keep your attention and have you turning the pages till the very end. Even though this was a series read this is a standalone read.

I received this book from NOR for an honest review. ( )

...rebellion and romance

I love the way Amy Jaecki takes actual historical happenings and then reworks them with a storyteller's licence where they 'suffer a sea change into something rich and strange.'
I love reading Amy's afterwards, and am always gratified by the weight of her research around the families and characters she writes about.
Set in 1493, Lady Helen Maclain, at her family's urging, has made a political marriage of convenience. She finds herself married to a boorish brute who having gotten a female child on her and not the heir he wanted treats her with base disregard, parading his leman Mary in front of all, seating her at the High table. His baseness and lack of courtesy due is wife knows few bounds.
Sir Eoin MacGregor, Helen's childhood friend is sent by the King to work with the Maclains against the rebellious MacDonalds. As Eoin becomes aware of Helen's situation and danger, he must face that he has always loved her. How to save her becomes paramount, especially as her situation is becoming more and more precarious.
A romantic tale with just the right amount of knavery and deceit to add spice and interest.
