“Book: My Highland Enemy Author: Miriam Minger Series: Warriors of the Highlands, Book #7 Publisher: Walker Publishing Book Length: 164 Pages Overall Rating: 5/5 Stars Blog Rating: 5/5 Saltire Flags West Strathnaver, Scotland, 1313 This book is about an arranged marriage by King Robert the Bruce between Alec MacKay and Rowen Sutherland to keep peace between the MacKay’s and the Sutherland’s who had been ancient enemies. As King Robert wants the killing, slaughtering and raiding between clans to stop so they can all unite and be on the same side to fight their common enemy the English. He has now raised Alec’s status from Captain to Laird, given him a castle. Though he knew to prove this alliance had worked the King expects a bairn to be born by the end of the year. The problem is that Rowen enters his castle ground with thirty of her clan members where her arms were restrained being tied together in front of her and a thick rope was tied to her waist that was attached to her saddle, so she wouldn’t runaway on her horse. Every Sutherland wanted this arranged marriage to happen except her youngest brother Errol who was closest to his sister in age who promised to make her a widow so she can come home again. Now Rowen wants nothing to do with this gorgeous blond haired, braw man! Afterall he was a MacKay who had slaughtered her people, raided and stolen their sheep. Yes Rowen knew her people had done the same to the MacKay’s but she had been hearing these stories since she was a wee lass! Alec realizes even in lads clothing Rowen Sutherland is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen! He had noticed right away she dressed like a man, as even her name Rowen is manly. Her father explained, with his wife died when she was a wee babe he knew nothing of how to raise a lass so he raised her like his sons. Except he did not let her nurse bring any of her lad’s clothing except what she wore as he had his nurse pack all these beautiful silk gowns and matching slippers. Rowen felt that her own family all betrayed her except her brother Errol who wanted to murder her groom to be. She tries to runaway the second she is given freedom except Alec catches her and her father yells how she is shaming the entire clan and going against their King’s wishes! In the end she marries Alec, but warns him she will never consummate the marriage. Even Alec knows the marriage won’t be acceptable until they have consummated their marriage, however he would never force himself on a woman ever! Previously the old laird took two orphan’s Sheena and Kael in whose parents were murdered by the Sutherland’s. She has wanted and fantasized about Alec since she came to the castle. They are both servants and her brother warns her to stop this fantasy as she is looking to go up to high above her station. He is worried they are both going to be sacked due to her rudeness to the Laird’s new wife and trying to send inappropriate messages to the Laird. She wants to find a way to get Rowen out of the way so she can be the Laird’s next wife, plus get revenge on the Sutherland’s for killing their parents. Alec’s father gives him advice to woo Rowen and it starts to work giving her kisses and embraces until something happens that makes Alex and Rowena mistrust each other just when they both start to fall in love with each other. Will they ever trust each other again? Or will this marriage be over before it even begins? Besides Alec’s marital problems he discovers Thorgren Sigurdson, leader of the Orkney raiders are setting nearby villages on fire, murdering the men, stealing the women and livestock where the people will starve and have no homes to live in since they were burned the villages to cinders. Will Rowen succeed in running away from Alec for good this time? Is it too little too late? Do they both have too much hate and mistrust where they can never forgive and start again! Find out in the latest installment of the Warriors of the Highlands! Again Miriam Minger has blown me away again with another highland masterpiece! She has been one of my favorite authors for over 20 years, yes long before social media and book review blogs. Yet I have always loved her style of writing and it was so easy to get drawn into her wonderful stories that always sweep me away! I loved this book so much as I love enemies to lovers stories, Alec and Rowen was so much fun to read about and some parts made me giggle too! However, that is how Minger’s books always roll with me. I am sad to see this series end as there will only be one more book with My Highland Hero but I am sure I will love whatever she will be writing next. I am hoping for more highlanders of course!

Miriam Minger says: It's been a wonderful experience to have all my novels published as eBooks, but the greatest thrill for me as a writer is when readers take the time to let me know they enjoyed my stories...

"I have read hundreds if not thousands of books in my lifetime and not once have I ever been moved to comment on one until now. This is without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read. I laughed. I cried. I remained at the edge of my seat devouring every single word you wove with this incredible story. I just wanted to let you know how deeply this story moved me and to thank you for creating it."

Wow. This one left me speechless, and thankful. I had done my job, which is to make you feel like you've dropped feet first into a world that captures your imagination and emotions so vividly you might be living and breathing the story. And that's one of the purest joys of reading, isn't it? I know it is for me, and it is my hope to continue to write books that make you live and breathe the adventure, laugh and cry, and that touch your heart.
