7 years ago, Rhona waited for Arthur at a chapel after his promise of love and marriage. But as sometimes happen, family expectations get the best of one. Now they meet again after the Lord of Lorne has been defeated and his Dunstaffnage Castle has passed on to the Scottish Crown held by Robert Bruce. The newly appointed authority in the castle is no other than Sir Arthur Campbell, whom Rhona (grandniece of Lord of Lorne) has hated since he left her alone and waiting for him.
After that episode, Rhona went on to marry a man chosen by her greatuncle and became a widow after just one year. She decided to take the healing arts and become a healer to the town. Now with Arthur in town, she can't forget her love for him but also can't forget her loyalty to her Lord and English King. She will defy Arthur at every turn and make his welcome and stay a little hard, that is until she takes matters into her own hands and betrays him.
It's a slow burn, second chance, and enemies to lovers trope that is filled with angst, action, and promises.

Highland Beast, by Amy Jarecki. I had a great time reading this book. The writer did a great job with writing this romantic story. There was enough information that provided a look into the daily living Ives of the Scottish people back then. Knowing and understanding how they lived added so much to my imagination/ or my visualization as I read the story.
The book reads so easily like a movie. The conversations and or dialogue was understandable and not confusing. The entertainment was very interesting, the writer added enough interesting situations that captivated my attention which helped keep the book moving. Not once while I was reading did I feel that the book was dull or slowed in maintaining my attention. All the characters personalities where written with clarity as how the participate in the book.
I really loved Gran’s character. She was a funny one. I enjoyed the realism of the book. Rhona and Author’s courtship was very romantic and charming.This book is definitely a page turner.

The author brings the sights, sounds, and passions of medieval Scotland to vivid life. The lush description of the backdrop is usurped only by the unforgettable characters that are carefully brought to life. This was a decadent tale of loss, treachery, and the redemptive power of love.
Authur, a knight under Robert the Bruce, is rewarded the keep and lands of Rhona’s ancestral home. He is handsome, brave, and intelligent. His heart has always belonged to Rhona. Rhona cannot surrender her belief that the allegiance of her clan comes first, even above love. She deceives and nearly destroys the only man she has ever loved. Allegiances and deceit endanger the couple’s fragile connection. Authur and Rhona must learn to trust each other and adjust their priorities to ensure that their love survives. The couple was written with love and care. The backdrop of the warring factions gave an edge and believability to the story. Both Authur and Rhona are solid and earnest, having complete faith in their loyalties. The battle for allegiance is captivating and, at times, heart-breaking. The couple’s love is fragile, and they have to strive to make it work. I enjoyed the complexity and natural feel of the characters. Their emotions and actions were believable and genuine.
The plot was fast and well-paced. The push and pull between the couple were perfect. The lush background of the story supported the beautiful dialogue. The story was an immersive trip through medieval Scotland. Forged in mistrust, the couple’s fragile love was believable and emotional. This was a beautiful gem of a book.
Highland Beast is the third book in The King’s Outlaws series. These gritty, sensual stories breathe life into the time of Robert the Bruce. These medieval romances are rich in history and full of emotion. I love this time and have, fortunately of late, had the opportunity to read more about this fascinating time in history. Although a love story at heart, the tale entices you with intrigue, action, and adventure. Each scene was lovingly written with careful precision and passion for the period. I could tell the author had done her homework, blending history and fiction splendidly. This is an electric, exciting book!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book through Netgalley and the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
