This was a wonderful book full of romance and adventure. Isobel is a captivating heroine; beautiful, sensitive and quirky. The interaction between Isobel and Philip is touching and vivid. I really enjoy how Jen Holling develops her characters relationships. It is so nice to read a romance novel where the hero and heroine aren't fated to be together but instead build a relationship based on real feelings.

My Wicked Highlander: The MacDonell Brides Trilogy
I want to start off by saying this is the very first time I've read anything by Jen Holling, and I must say I have another new author to add to my FAVORITES! I loved every single minute of, MY WICKED HIGHLANDER. Honestly, it was such a moving story, that I didn't want it to end.
Jen holling has a passion for Scotland that shows in her beautiful descriptions. She did a fantastic job of transporting me back.
Isobel MacDonell is a strong, proud and loyal woman. Sir Philip Kilpatrick is a brave, and honorable warrior whose focus is to protect the lady he's been asked to bring home after twelve long years spent in hiding. Both of these characters have demons, and the fact that Isobel is a WITCH, can't distinguish the flames burning between them. Only problem is, Isobel is betrothed to another, a powerful Earl who is rumored to have killed his very first wife.
Sir Philip finds himself wanting more than her father's appreciation for being Isobel's protector, he wants her- especially since he fears for her safety at the hands of a possible murderer.
Isobel feels the pull also, but since Philip keeps her at arms length, she doesn't know what to do. She doesn't want to deny her father's dying wish by not marrying Nicholas Lyon, Earl of Kincreag, but can she deny her heart? Does Sir Philip manage to protect Isobel from the Witch hunts going on in Scotland? And will he turn Isobel over to Earl Kincreag once they return to Lochlaire?
You'll have to read it to find out!
This is an Excellent story that kept me turning pages late into the night. I couldn't put it down and it called to me whenever I did. I never wanted this story to end. The characters were written so well that I felt I actually new them. The sexual tension between Isobel and Philip sizzled!
I experienced so many emotions. I laughed, I cried- I had goose bumps and on more than one occasion a lump in my throat so large I thought I might stop breathing. This book is everything a Romance Reader, especially those with a passion for Scotland could ever want.
Kudos to Jen Holling for a job well done!
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars- *****
Now I can't wait to read, MY DEVILISH SCOTSMAN, the second book in the MacDonell brides series.

What a beautiful love story. This is the very first novel I've read by Jen Holling and I have already purchased the two follow up sequels. 'My Wicked Highlander' is definitely a 'keeper'. Buy it! You won't be disappointed.

This is my very first book by Jen Holling and I simply loved this book! I was so annoyed at Philip at first, but I still loved how things were developing and in the end, it turned out great!
I must admit, I was holding my breath and getting scared towards the end! The story is touching, dramatic, funny, loving, adventurous, and even suspenseful! I loved every minute of it. The characters were so great, too! I loved Stephen and Fergus as secondary / supporting characters! My goodness, what good character development in this book.
The fact that the dialogs included the accents from Scotland or England made it that much more pleasant to read, because it really paints a picture and takes you there with the characters.
This story will leave you wanting more, as it is also the very first in the MacDonell Brides trilogy and leaves several open-ended issues to be addressed in the following books! I truly recommend this book! :)

This, I think, is the very first book of a trilogy about three sisters who are gifted with psychic abilities. My Wicked Highlander is Isobel's story. She is the oldest of the three and is a seer. When Isobel was a little girl, her mother was accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. Fearful for his daughter's lives, Alan MacDonell, chieftain of Glen Aire, packs up his three daughters and hides them in separate parts of the country. At the age of twenty-four, Isobel is summoned home to tend to her dying father and to meet her betrothed, Nicholas, the Earl of Kincreag. Phillip Kilpatrick, one of Alan's most trusted friends, travels with two others to escort Isobel home.
Their travel through England and Scotland is not without its adventures for Isobel can't help but use her gifts to help others. Her good deeds, however, come back to haunt them later on. By the time they reach Glen Aire, Phillip and Isobel are thoroughly besotted with each other. However, despite Phillip's pleas for Isobel to marry him, she is determined to follow her father's wishes and marry Nicholas. Phillip leaves Glen Aire believing that he's lost Isobel forever.
This was an excellent read. It was fast-paced, action-packed, and full of juicy plots to keep you riveted to the last page. I look forward to reading the second book of this trilogy.
