Review # 1 was written on 2010-09-15 00:00:00 Marianne Thompson OMG !!! I loved this book so much that I ranted about it for DAYS !!! After a surprise read from another series (Brenda Joyce's Masters of Time) I have been completely obsessed with all things Highlander. Whenever I get a book in the mail, my hubby will look at me as if to say "So babe, what is it? Vampire? Werewolf" and then after seeing the look of giddiness and me almost SWOON, he adds, "Oohhh Highlander". I'm a big fan of Lynsay's Argeneau Vampires series (I own them all) and have loved her previous two Highland romances (Taming the Highland Bride and Devil of the Highlands) This book was HILARIOUS. Like "Oh my goodness, soda just shot out my nose I'm laughing so hard and OUCH I just hit my head on the chair as I catapulted off it in hysterics" Don't get me wrong, this book is FILLED with plenty of deep sigh and romantic gush moments (hello?? It is Highlanders we're talking about) but the author wrote some scenes that I will FOREVER laugh over. Imagine if you will, living in a time where you don't sit around with your girlfriends talking about boys and what you'd like to do with them. You don't live in a time when watching TV can be considered sex education in and of itself or most importantly, you don't have the pleasure *cough* of watching Lady Gaga strut her stuff in scandalous and provocative "clothing". Sex was a private matter, with ALOT of misconceptions surrounding it and for poor Averill on her wedding night, she must rely on the servant women for her "education". This instructive conversation ALONE is worth reading the book for!! But where the book becomes priceless is when you read how Averill applies her new knowledge - much to the shock, horror and amazement of Kade, her new husband. Let me just say that milking is for COWS and telling a man that his "piffle" is handsome is more likely to get you laughed at than ravished.The humor used in the book was VERY much appreciated because honestly, for some of us, wasn't our first times just a little awkward because we just weren't sure what to expect? (that's not to say I'm admitting anything because.. just so you know I WAS FABULOUS lol) It made Averill endearing and her inner dialogue kept me glued to the pages. I very LOUDY share that this is a MUST read for Highlander addicts and for anyone who loves a good chuckle with their romance.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-31 00:00:00 Jennifer E Combs The Hellion and the Highlander is book three in the Devil of the Highlands series by Lynsay Sands. This novel can be read as a stand-a-lone, so you don't have to read in order. I had an enjoyable time with this historical romance. It was nice to move out of my comfort genre zone and try something different. It's a little funny in that every time Averill and Kade tried to have some sexy time, things kept interrupting them, and they couldn't fulfill what they started. Eventually they get to have their time, but all those interruptions where funny. We do get a little mystery on who is trying to kill of Kade and Averill finally lets her true self come out to the world. This novel was an ok read. It was relaxing, a bit funny, and a quick read. Rated: 3 Stars
