“I needed you to feel. To feel what I was feeling.”
The Warrior...
Major Sir Robert Campell is a hero to the Scots and English alike. He's revered for his prowess as a leader and a soldier. He takes control of any troublesome situation...except when it involves the beautiful English woman who stole his heart four years ago.
The Lady...
Lady Claire Campbell was smitten the moment she laid eyes on Rob. Who can resist a powerful Highland Warrior in a kilt? Especially one who has the rugged face of a god and can't take his eyes off you...
Time and tragedy have torn Rob and Claire apart, and now Rob is going to the Continent to fight a brutal battle against Napoleon and the French. Claire follows him, desperate to heal what has broken between them. But some wounds go deeper than blows Rob receives on the battlefield. And some wounds can never be healed.
NOTE: This book was previously released in the SCANDALOUS SUMMER NIGHTS historical romance anthology.
Overview from Goodreads
See A Highlander's Heart (Highland Knights #1) by Jennifer Haymore in:
ARC received via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review but it didn’t affect my opinion about this book.
This was the first time I read a Regency romance that featured the Battle of Waterloo.
I liked the fact that the author did not sugarcoat what happened after the war. It was gory and it really made me cringe. Also, the after effects of it. (When Stirling dreamed of fighting during the war.) And when they were offered to be part of the secret agency, it reminded me a lot of CIA and MI6 which made me want to know what would happen next since I'm excited to know what a secret intelligence agency would be like in an era where technology wasn't advanced yet.
Although some would say that the story was dragged, it was totally understandable since the story was not only about Claire and Rob, it was also about how the Highland Knights were founded.
Rob and Claire's marriage for me was realistically portrayed. Rob didn't give himself time to grieve when their baby died and both of them was so lost they ended up pushing each other away even when they didn't mean to. I was glad that Rob talked to his friends about his problems, I was somewhat feeling sorry for him that he had to be strong all the time being the major and all. And I was happy for them when Rob and Claire finally found each other in the end.
A Highlander's Heart was a good story to start a series. One could look forward to what would happen to these Scottish warriors and how they'll find love. (Or if Claire and Rob would be blessed with another son.)
