About this ebook

 She was nothing more than retaliation against his enemies…until she became the woman he could not live without.

Set on revenge, Highland warrior Graham MacLeod abducts Isobel Campbell never anticipating his enemy’s daughter would awaken an irresistible hunger in him. But when his beautiful, headstrong captive challenges his will and proves her courage and honor by willingly risking her life for his, he cannot deny the dangerous passion she stirs in him. Suddenly, his agreement to deliver Isobel to the king who wishes to use her holds little appeal. Yet, with a battle for the Scottish throne brewing, he knows the king will not relinquish the pilfered prize. To everyone else, Isobel is a pawn to be manipulated, but the more time Graham spends with her, the less he sees her as an adversary and the more she becomes the forbidden temptation he must resist.

Isobel Campbell is a wanted woman, but not for who she is, only as the heiress of a castle that holds the key to power over the Scottish isles. And when she is kidnapped by her family’s bitter enemy, all she wants is to return to the father she idolizes. But she soon discovers that those she considers her protectors may in fact be her biggest threats, and the brave, fierce warrior she fears may actually be the one person she can rely on.

A chasm of distrust and an undeniable yearning flare between Isobel and Graham, along with the promise of unexpected love. However, in order to triumph, they must find a way to vanquish their doubts and build an alliance that can withstand the devastation of war and a king determined to sacrifice anything—and anyone—to keep his throne.

Ratings and reviews

When a Highlander Loses His Heart (Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts Book 4) by Julie Johnstone is a wonderful addition to this series. It can be read as a stand alone. However, I'd suggest reading, "When a Laird Loves a Lady", as well, this series is simply to amazing to miss. This is the story of Graham MacLeod, a Highland warrior with many doubts and his jealousy causes him to react before thinking things through, which comes from his past insecurities and causes him much distress. Isobel Campbell, has been raised in a covent since infancy, until her eighteenth birthday, when her father sends for her. She has always known her father and brothers loved her until she learns the devastrating truth of their betrayal. Her grandmother left her a castle which it seems everyone wants, especially her father, it is a prime piece of real estate in the Highlands, for which her father would kill for and throw her to the wolves to have. She must be married after her eighteenth birthday to claim her inheritance. Which is why her father would force a wedding on her to a horrible man. Enter, Graham, who abducts her, with the help of an ally, on what was supposed to be the day of her forced wedding, which is when she learns some of the betrayal of her brothers. She later learns the truth of her father, as well. Oh and the man she's to be forced to marry, is none other than the despicable uncle of the MacLeod clan, which wishes to destroy them. Such a high octane story, the reader will be turning pages as fast as one can say, OMG. I was captivated from the first page until the last. And this story will linger in your mind for a while. Well developed characters along with an intriguing plot makes for some captivating reading. Definitely fast paced with secrets, betrayal, learning to love, trust one's feelings, letting go of the past, and accept that you are worthy of love. Oh, yes, let's don't forget the danger, mystery, suspense, finding another sister, and the possibility Of true love and a HEA. What a thrill to read this fantastic Scottish Romance! Readers will find exactly what they enjoy in a Scottish Romance and so much more. Ms Johnstone never fails to hold my attention and capture my heart in one of her exciting stories and "When a Highlander Losses his Heart", was no different. She is a talented author to be sure. I always look forward to one of her stories with their family ties, their heart pounding yet, heart warming and intriguing plots. An absolute must read!! Highly recommended! I encourage fans of great reads, Scottish romance, brawn highlanders, feisty, strong-willed and determined lasses, to pick up this fantastic story of love, passion and redemption. Bravo, Ms. Johnstone! I wish to also thank both, Julie Johnstone and her family, first for her devotion to her readers, and the sacrifices she makes, secondly to her family for all their sacrifices, as well. Thank you!!
