Banks is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. These characters are captivating and interesting, the story moving and compelling. I particularly loved the conflict between love and duty and the fact that no one shied away from the harder, more painful roads. There is still a nagging question at the end of the novel, but since the third one probably starts where this one left off, I suspect that question will be answered early on. I like that the women in these novels are strong women, who do not meekly follow where they are told to go. Even the gentlest of the woman, Christina, has some spice and fire in her personality. Also of note, the sex scenes between the OTP were incredibly hot. Enjoy those!

I usually don't write anything but this book is worth it. We have a beautiful and angsty love story that will break your heart. I sobbed throughout almost the whole book and it has already become one of my favourites
This book!
Wow, what an emotional ride! The story was beautifully told and bought me to tears more than once. The characters were well rounded and hugely likeable. I cannot wait to read Caelen and Rionna's story!

The clocks went back last night and I used my extra hour well, curled up in bed and reading this book - perfect lazy Sunday reading. As with book one, the characters and story aren't especially astonishing, but I was easily sucked in to the story and once again found myself put through an emotional wringer as the book drew to a close. The final book in the trilogy has been really well set up and I have high hopes that it will be the first McCabe book to get a fourth star from me, when I read it on a lazy Sunday still to come.
This book started off...not good. I had previously read three books by this author and really liked one of them ([b:Never Seduce a Scot|13360101|Never Seduce a Scot (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs, #1)|Maya Banks|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1328116176s/13360101.jpg|18588471] - try to ignore the cheesy title), only half-way liked another ([b:Highlander Most Wanted|13457423|Highlander Most Wanted (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs, #2)|Maya Banks|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1339473081s/13457423.jpg|18986972]), and disliked the third ([b:In Bed with a Highlander|9962040|In Bed with a Highlander (McCabe Trilogy, #1)|Maya Banks|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1348705921s/9962040.jpg|14855973]). So obviously this author is a bit of a mixed bag for me. I almost quit this book within the first couple of chapters when I thought it was steering into insta-love territory, a personal pet peeve of mine. I'm really glad I didn't quit! This ended up being a really good "forbidden" love story. I almost cried at the end. Though this is the second book in this series, I think you can skip the painful first book and just jump to this one - the backstory is filled in well enough.
