About this eBook

USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight takes you into the heart of the Highlands, where these warriors are prepared to give up everything in the fight for their country.

Annie MacPherson's world was torn apart when her family's castle was ravaged during the war. Determined to aid her countrymen, she braves the battlefield and finds gravely wounded Lieutenant Craig MacLean. Soon her heart belongs to the fierce warrior.

As the English dragoons draw closer to Annie's makeshift hospital, Craig knows they have to escape together if they'll have any chance to survive. But when they come face-to-face with the enemy and Craig is imprisoned, Annie will have to risk everything she has to save the man she can't live without.

History and adventure come to life in Eliza Knight's thrilling Scottish Highland romance. Annie is based loosely on Anne MacKay, Anne Leith, and Lady Maxwell, who risked their lives to protect Jacobite soldiers by hiding them, healing their wounds, and helping them escape from enemy forces.

Ratings and reviews

Truly Madly Plaid by Eliza Knight Prince Charlie’s Angels #2 In the second book of what I believe will be a trilogy we have the story of a healer and a soldier. The two have a bit of a rocky start to their relationship and their time together is not easy with war, wounds, capture, and more to contend with. They eventually do find their way to a HEA future but it is not easy. What I liked: * Craig MacLean: a warrior toughened through life to fight for his beliefs. He is strong, kind, lethal, and loving when it comes to friends, family and the woman he falls in love with. Sacrifice, pain and endurance are part and parcel of his life. He is perfect for Annie. * Annie MacPherson: a healer, sister, friend, warmhearted, caring person who gives her time and effort to Bonny Prince Charles cause. She cares deeply about family, her patients and the man she grows to love. She is perfect for Craig. * The unflinching look at the war and the Battle of Culloden in particular * The research done by the author that makes this story authentic * Annie’s strength and what she was willing to do to keep people safe * Seeing Jenny and Fiona for a bit * The supporting characters * That there were two other couples besides Craig and Annie that found love, too, even though war, maiming and loss were also going on. * The resilience shown by the Highlanders * That there was a sense of hope felt in the story when hope was not all that easy to find for the Highlanders. * The writing, plot, and location What I didn’t like: * The reminder that occupying forces often are not kind to the people of the land they occupy – in other words – the English behavior toward the Scots was atrocious. * Being reminded of the impact of war on soldiers and their family – hated the death of one of the characters but…it happens. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in the series? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC – this is my honest review. 5 Stars

A powerful, passionate story full of emotion and historical background that will tear at your heart and leave you breathless. As usual Eliza brings the past alive, to the point of horrifying reality of how fierce and brutal the war between England and Scotland played out. Culloden being the focal point in this story with our warrior hero, Craig MacLean, and his best friend's sister, Annie MacPherson, healer for Prince Charlie and the wounded men who fought for him. Prepare to become immersed and not able to stop once you turn the first page. A must read!
