I received an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Maeve Greyson is a new to me author. The blurb caught my eye, and seemed interesting. I don't usually read this time period, but wanted to give it a chance.

Magnus de Gray fathered a child after helping his close friend try to break off her unwanted betrothal, but he was unaware of the son that had resulted from their brief encounter for five years. He recieves a letter from Brenna Maxwell telling him that her sister Bree has died giving birth to their son, and after receiving the letter he journeys to find both Brenna and his son.

I thought that this story was super romantic, especially with the added Gaelic, and that you really felt the love between the hero and the heroine. Keigan, their son for all intents and purposes since Brenna has raised him since birth, was adorable and sweet. I loved his relationship with his Aunt Brenna, and even with his father. Magnus really tried to be patient with both Keigan and Brenna because he knows how much pain he has caused them in the last five years. He was very understanding, loving, and extremely kind.

It was a well written book, but sometimes it felt like the story moved a little too slow. The ending did pick up, but then it felt like with all this going on in the last 25 percent that the ending felt a little rushed.

3.5 stars rounded to 4.

If you're a fan of very romantic medieval romances then this would check all your boxes.

This book was a great ending to the Highland Heroes series. I have loved all six books. They can be read alone, but a fabulous series. The characters in this book and the others were well-written. I have long waited for Magnus's story. I knew it would be an adventure. Finding his son was just the beginning of his adventure. He also found Brenna. Brenna was not just a healer of illness, but healed the heart of Magnus.It was nice to see him have someone and nit be alone. It was great to have appearances by previous MacCoinnich characters. I will miss this series.

Maeve, do you think we could get a book or series with Raithwaite and Lord Chestshire?

Magnus de Gray has been with Clan MacCoinnich his entire life, even though he is not a biological child they are his family. He recently found out he sired a son five years ago. and sadly the mother died in childbirth yet left him this amazing gift. It was complicated the reason he got her pregnant. This had been Bree’s desire, plus the fact she secretly got Magnus very drunk which made her harder to refuse. He had not known she was pregnant when he left. If he had known he wouldn’t have taken another commission and most likely would have married Bree. No he did not love Bree, but they were friends and it would have been the right thing for the child. He now is determined to find and claim his son and bring him back to Clan MacCoinnich. He will not abandon him repeating his family history! That is exactly what his good for nothing father to did him! What he doesn’t expect is to fall in love during this journey to a woman who despises him!

Brenna’s cruel and diabolical father finally allowed her to leave the clan to study the art of healing. He was wicked and diabolical not even giving his own daughters his surname since they were not boys. He made it abundantly very clear he desired sons not daughters, as they were his biggest disappointment! When Brenna returns home she discovers her best friend and sister is pregnant. Their father humiliates them both by having both his daughters exiled. This is the main who I chieftain of Clan Maxwell. So as they are on the run Bree goes into labor the baby boy survives but Bree dies and her sisters dying wish is that her her son knows his father.

Brenna Maxwell hates Magnus de Gray with every fiber in her being! After all that womanizer killed the one person that mattered most to her which was her sister Bree. Brennan has had five years to build her hate. She wrote to him years ago to come and he never did. She doesn’t realize it was a third party whom she trusted to send the letter never did. Yet this person is also worried for Brenna and her nephew and now reached out to Magnus to hopefully save them as they living dangerously alone on the woods,

Magnus is actually quiet, introverted and reserved, but also a very kind, smart,protective, brave and compassionate man. He can see all the goodness in Brenna besides her beauty and intelligence he realizes he is in love with her. He see’s how wonderful she has been to his son, more of a mother than an Aunt, plus so much more than that. He does not think she will ever care for him and it kills him to think that she see’s Magnus in the same image he has of his own heartless father! Will she ever be able to trust and care for Magnus or think he is not good enough to be a father to his son? Will his own son ever see him in a positive light? Read and finds out.

I am always sad when a series I have loves comes to an end. These books were so much fun read and the type historical romance readers absolutely love. I am sure she is plotting out her next amazing series, I have been reading Maeve Greyson books for years as I am never disappointed and always enchanted. So I absolutely recommend every book in this captivating series.

A wonderful romantic adventure set in the Scottish Highlands.
This is one to really get your blood pumping and your keep your attention throughout.

Our hero Magnus sets out looking for the son he never realised he had until recently.
The child now five years old, Magnus follows a trail of supposed sitings until he finds a healer with a child.

Brenna has taken care of her sisters son since birth and she hates Magnus, blaming him for her sisters death and all that has befallen her and the boy since.

Magnus is a wonderful hero for this story .
Strong , quiet, passionate and honest, he gives all he has to his son and Brenna, who eventually returns his love.

Excellent book, really loved this series, it’s been a pleasure to read and follow the Clans adventures.

Wow, this one keeps you on the edge of your seat. I am so sorry to see this series end. I have enjoyed each and every one of them and this one ends on a high note. Gray has always been alone but finds that he wants more, a connection with another person. Brianna has guarded her sisters son since her sister died. This is the story of a family coming together. Loved it
