This review is also published on by blog @ http://booksavvybabe.com My Fair Highlander takes place in the Tudor time period, on the border between Scotland and England. Laird Barras is the neighbor (on the Scotland side) to Jemma Ramsden, an English lady. I really was not Jemma's biggest fan, at first. She was consumed by grief after the passing of her father, and she was very selfish. She was argumentative towards her brother, and she made bad decisions, such as taking an evening ride along the England/Scotland border. During this fateful ride, Jemma was accosted by English soldiers and subsequently saved by Laird Barras, who had been attracted to Jemma for awhile. Gordon (Laird Barras) decides to keep Jemma at his keep to get to know her and "court" her. Although, after her bad decision for evening riding, Gordan is not sure she is the woman he needs. Jemma needs to overcome her grief and embrace her life and hopefully her future. I really liked Gordon, Laird Barras. He is a Highlander in a difficult time, a time period where religious tensions are high and the Scottish monarch was only a babe. He is a good leader for his people and he is willing to negotiate and work with the english, to do whatever would be necessary to take care of his people and his land. Gordon manages to keep to the highlander ways of capturing brides. After rescuing Jemma, he keeps her in his keep, and I fully enjoyed his manner of courtship. He shows his sweet side with Jemma as well as his tough, warrior side creating good chemistry between himself and Jemma. As for Jemma, while she has selfish tendencies, she does begin to come out of her shell and grow as a character. She has to deal with prejudice from some of the Scottish women, and she has to stand up to Gordon himself quite a bit as well. I can appreciate the prejudice that Jemma faced as an Englishwoman in Scottish territory, she was not accepted just because the Laird liked her. She had to earn her place, and with that she earned my respect. My Fair Highlander is a very good historical romance read, the issues the people face are consistent with the historical time period. While this book is book 2 in a series, it is still able to be read as a stand alone. I have not yet read book 1 in the series, and I had no problem understanding the story or the characters. However, after reading book 2, I think that I am going to have to get book 1 as well because previous story lines that were mentioned sound pretty good too. Readers, if you enjoy historicals, highlanders, or romances I recommend reading My Fair Highlander. I received this book as a gift from RomCon, a romance novel convention in Denver, CO.
