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.

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.

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!

Kate Campbell's clan is a sworn enemy to the outlawed MacGregor's. When she ends up under their protection, she learns that her suspicions about her uncle and her mistrust of the MacGregour clan laird are intertwined. To be caught with a MacGregour will be her death, but to leave them, will be her sanity.
Paula Quinn does a wonderful job of bringing the MacGregour saga to life. The characters are real and personable. I got a feel for who they were and rooted for their success. The MacGregour story is one I would love to know more about.
Her writing style and plotting keeps the pages turning with minor characters that make you smile. I loved the scene where poor Jamie is taught a lesson by the more worldly Brodie and Angus. Perhaps the castle should have thicker walls.
The one thing that stood out to me was a slight heaviness throughout the book. This hindered the emotion that Ms Quinn was trying to establish. I never warmed up to Kate's brother Robert or despised Duncan as much as I should have.
Overall, Ms Quinn is a very good storyteller and from what I can tell, she is an author that will get better with each book.
