By time Conor reaches his lands, their verbal sparing has become more heated with kisses and embraces. Laurel tries to deny her feelings for Conor because she thinks he will become disgusted with her because she is English and has some secrets of her own she can not trust him with.

Michele Sinclair has written a little gem of love and innocence with THE HIGHLANDER'S BRIDE. Laurel is the too good to be true heroine, but her thoughts and actions are quite enjoyable as she throws Conor constantly off center. Conor is one hero most woman would love, from his protective nature to not being able to control his emotions when it comes to LaurelΓ’β¬β’s antics along with her fears of being torn from his arms.
Some may have issues with LaurelΓ’β¬β’s way of thinking and the dangers she finds herself in. There are also the usual stereotypes found in this type of story. But, overall the storyΓ’β¬β’s innocent way has a nice feel to it and Conor and Laurel are two characters that are very charming, especially when each tries to get their own ways about loving and life in general.
This novel, which journeys from the border country of
Scotland to its majestic highlands, is a story of two
people learning to believe and trust in the miracle of
love.
All Laurel Rose Cordell wanted was to leave England, her
brother, and her memories of isolation and go live with her
grandfather, a Scottish laird she had not seen since she
was a child. She sought peace, quiet and no excitement.
But after one look at the stunning lass, an evil lairdβs
son was determined to possess her and was willing to do
anything to acquire what he desired. She was in desperate
need of a hero, and it came in the form of a large, rugged
highlander.
Conor McTiernay was responsible for overseeing six younger
brothers and a very large clan. Women, especially pretty
ones, were either trouble or a hassle, and he vowed never
to commit to one. That is until one beautiful lass
stumbles into his camp on his way home. As he fights for
her safety, then her freedom and finally her honor, she
learns how to trust, and he how to love, and together they
discover the power of capturing a Scottish heart.
