Good. Lord. This. Cover. Though.
I am not a Historical Romance reader. Ever. But this cover seriously tempted me and I'm glad my horniness paid off! NEVER CROSS A HIGHLANDER is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, super steamy, love story and I was here. for. it.
Ailsa was a total badass. She is smart, fiery, and also kind-hearted. I loved her fire, but I sometimes found her refusal to listen to reason/advice frustrating. Know your mind, but also know when to take directions from someone who can help you.
And Kallum...gahhhhh. The man is just all growly, sexy f*ckboy-finds-love hotness. He is so damn honorable and protective and hot. May I please be banged under a waterfall by this fictional man already?
NEVER CROSS A HIGHLANDER had a bit of a slow start. It's unnecessarily wordy in stretches, especially at the beginning. But it really gets going after a while and the pace picks up.
I absolutely loved the dynamics of the clans and how the main characters' race was portrayed in this story. Ailsa is mixed and Kallum is black. This author found the perfect balance of making their minority status in their world an important part of the story without it becoming the ONLY part of the story.
I'm not sure I'm about to dive into non-stop historical romances, but NEVER CROSS A HIGHLANDER was definitely a great read and very worthy of my cross over from contemporary romances. Strong thighs peaking out from under a kilt definitely didn't hurt.
𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟: Rated R
𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦: enslavement, attempted sexual assault, physical assault, racism, lots of sword-fighting violence
𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗦: 3/5 - You will definitely feel some feels.
