Product Description:
PROTECTING HER WAS HIS PASSION
High-born though she is, Kate Campbell isn't afraid to draw her sword. When raiders strike, she rushes into the fray...and is lucky when a mysterious Highlander shields her from a deadly blow. Swept onto his stallion, she soon discovers that her rescuer is her clan's most hated enemy: Callum MacGregor, the man they call The Devil. Yet she cannot ignore his achingly tender touch or the way his fiery gaze leaves her breathless.
POSSESSING HER WOULD BE HIS PLEASURE
Callum MacGregour has taken many Campbell lives, but he's never saved one--until now. Mesmerized by this spirited lass, he wants her by his side, even if it means holding her for ransom. As his fingers graze her sumptuous curves and tangle in her unruly tresses, Callum realizes Kate Campbell is his most dangerous foe of all. For he can't make love to her without betraying his kinsmen and his honor...and surrendering his heart forever.

What a fantastic story. I was captivated from the very first page to the last. Great chemistry between the main characters. A very sensual love/romatic story. Kudos to Ms. Quinn. I can't wait to read your next!

My recommendation if you are interested in purchasing this book is to read the very first few chapters in a book store and then decide whether you still want to buy it. If you like well written believable romance novels that feature fully developed characters and situations then this is definitely not the book for you. This is one of the most absurd stories I've read in quite a while. Let's start with the very first couple of chapters. Our heroine actually fights in a vicous battle weilding either a sword or an axe against seasoned warriors and is able to hold them off for a quarter of an hour without even a scratch or breaking a sweat. Either she's one tough amazonian woman or the men she fought were total wimps, but by the time our hero charges in to rescue her he is struck by her beautiful visage and glorious hair and is instantly smitten. When the carnage is over, there are fifty bodies strewn about but just a few hours later our feisty spitfire of a heroine forgets all about this while verbally sparring with the hero. But let's go back to the bit when she is shot in the shoulder with an arrow and instead of being violently thrown from her horse she just simply swoons gracefully into the hero's arms. And absurdity after absurdity continue with this novel. The hero was imprisoned as a child in a dungeon and yet manages to escape years later and also kills all the guards. How is that possible? People imprisoned in dungeons for years would have been suffering from serious ill health and feats of strength would have been impossible. I know this is fiction but seriously you have to suspend a lot of disberlief to take this silly book at face value. Also it's supposed to takes place during seventeenth century Scotland but honestly you'd never know it as there is never a sense of history or place. The charcaters are nothing more than caricatures and never feel like real people. Oh and the romance itself which is why we are all here after all is tepid and boring. If you still want to read this book then check it out from the library and don't waste your money like I did.
I would give this book a grade of D, but honestly it's almost an F. It's that bad:(

A Romeo and Juliet tale with plenty of Hatfield's and McCoy's thrown into the mix, Quinn does a fine job of making the Scottish medieval setting in Laird of the Mist feel accurate and I got the feeling she threw in a bit of real history too.
The Campbells and the MacGregor's have been fighting for hundreds of years. Kate Campbell is not even sure how it all began, but she does know this- The Devil Macgregour was responsible for her Father and Grandfather's death. That's enough for her to hate ANY Macgregour on sight.
When Callum Macgergour happens upon her while she and her clan are fighting a deadly battle with a rival clan, he does something totally uncharacteristic for him- he saves her then promptly rides off with her into the sunset.
But that's only the beginning. Soon enough, Kate discovers exactly who her rescuer is and is forced to make a choice between the growing attraction she feels for him- or finally take out the man who has caused so much pain in her life.
Of course the more time they spend together the more they realize that both have been living under misconceptions- especially Kate- and when the truth finally comes out, Kate makes a decision to follow her heart, even if it means losing her family.
I must admit that Laird of the Mist came off as too over the top for me, in many ways. Too much accent (aboot), too much purple prose at times and too much cliché. (Several eye rolling moments in it for me.)
Yet, it had a good enough plot and heated chemistry between the two protags to keep me engaged.
Kate is not only fierce, she's smart. And I really liked that once she knew she felt something for Callum, she wasn't afraid to admit it too him right away. Callum of course had to be shown the light- but even that tired plot device worked because he was attempting to keep his distance for all the right reasons. (Anyone sympathetic to the MacGregors would fall to major harm not only because of his enemies but because the Clan had been annexed.)
More importantly, Callum tugged at my heart. For so long he had to be a warrior Laird and wouldn't allow himself the time to dream of better things. Once Kate brought him the hope of a brighter future- he was lost.
I love sappy junk like that.
(btw, this book is surprisingly sensual, so don't shy away from it because you like a steamy read. It's in there!)

I've thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was great character development, I loved the written accents, and the author did well with the action scenes too. I'm not typically a romance reader, but this had more "romance" than actual bodice-ripping, so it appealed to me greatly.
I found Callum's inner turmoils believable and Kate was truly a riot. The author did a fantastic job of transporting this read back to 17th century Scotland. I think maybe now I see why the Highlander-themed novels are so popular.
Rated by buyers -
I cannot say enough good things about this book. It has everything, wonderful characters an interesting plot and a great villian. I have read it and reread it, I just can't get enough and no other novel I have read lately even comes close in comparison. Purchase with confidence, you will not be disappointed! I hope this author keeps the books coming!
