About this ebook

A Scot on fire

Wrongfully imprisoned and tortured by an unseen enemy, Broderick MacPherson lives for one purpose—punishing the villain who targeted him. But when a wayward English lass interrupts his revenge, he loses his enemy in the dark. Now, her compelled testimony could send Broderick back to the prison that nearly killed him. Unless they find a loophole—an inconvenient, shockingly tempting loophole.

A beauty under pressure

For Kate Huxley, visiting her brother in the Scottish Highlands is a blissful escape from the stifling expectations of the marriage mart. Blissful, that is, until a scarred, beastly Highlander with a heartbreaking past frightens her out of her wits, making her a witness in a criminal inquiry.

A match to light the darkness

Kate has no wish to testify against a man who’s already suffered too much. But the only remedy is to become his wife. And she can’t possibly marry such a surly, damaged man … can she? Well, perhaps. If it means she can stay in her beloved Scotland. And if he promises they’ll never fall in love.

Ratings and reviews

The Taming of a Highlander is the second in Elisa Braden’s Midnight in Scotland series and includes some appearances by characters we know and love from her Rescued From Ruin Series. I am a huge fan and am very grateful to have received an ARC. It was a very enjoyable read with likable characters. A bit grittier than her previous books, it is nonetheless sweet and charming. Highly recommend!

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Talk about hilarious and quirky characters! And the hero... I challenge you not to fall in love with his battered and bruised self. I found the first few chapters (particularly around the hero's imprisonment) really hard to read. The injustice just got to me and I could barely breathe at one point. Phew! But hang tight. It's completely worth it. Dual POV (my fave!). Brilliant cast of secondary characters (my bad, I hadn't read the first in series before reading this one, but it held up well as a stand-alone I thought!). Open door and shiver inducing sexy times (double phew!). Highly recommend everything this author writes, and this book in particular. Can't wait to read the rest!
