Thank you to Netgalley and Dragonblade Publishing, Inc for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I didn't know when I requested this book that is the four book in the 'Highland Rogues' series. I don't think this matter too much as each book seems to centre about different characters, although I might have missed some background on a few of the main characters.

Terin Campbell is living a dreary life, being married off young and widowed she has managed to survive after her Husbands Mother and family has tried to poison her. Hoping to get to the safety of her Aunts keep and live a quite life Terin sets out on the road dressed as a boy. Whilst taking shelter and food in an Inn one night, Terin comes face to face with Jasper, he has stopped at the Inn also to get shelter for his sister who he is travelling with, having just saved her from marriage to an old man. He noticed Terin for all the wrong reasons and quickly realises she is a lass in need of help. He basically takes hold of her and before she knows it she is part of his riding party. Thinking she is getting away with her disguise she is flummoxed to realise both he and his Mother know who she is and will help her at whatever cost.

This is a fun, historical romance. All the characters are very easy to like and all good humoured. I will probably go back and read the other books in the series as I actually finished this one in a couple of hours. It was delightful and has the ingredients I look for in a book of this genre. The chemistry between the characters was off the charts, and done in such a way it was very entertaning.

This book is a part of the Highland Rogue series by Mary Wine. I read it as a stand-alone and was able to read it without any gaps in knowledge. Terin Campbell is running away from an abusive and struggling home life. In order to escape Terin disguises herself as a boy and finds herself in the path of Jasper. Jasper is determined to find out why Terin is disguised and begins to fall for her.


I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

just a great story. mary doesn't amazing story-telling. i loved these characters. the story moved smoothly.

Terin and Jasper were both strong willed individuals, but who was going to win this battle of wills between men and women? Terin Campbell was looking towards being her own person. However, Jasper the Chief is bound and determined to make this formidable woman be his and his alone.

The author did a divine job in keeping the flow of the storyline moving that keeps your interest in flipping the pages! I loved the characters! I would love to see a follow up book with Terin & Jasper! They are definitely my favorite characters!

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

ARC received for review

We meet Terrin in the previous book The Highlander's Captive. She has escaped and is trying to make her way to family disguised as a boy. Jasper comes across her and see through her disguise. He helps her back to his family home. There his mother gets into the matchmaking business and helps them out.

There are lots more peeps to find true love.

I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a continuation of some things from the last installment- Terin is running for freedom from the clan in her new widowhood, and Jasper is taking his sister home after the narrowly missed marriage. Though I really enjoyed this book, it felt faster than the previous with a little more straightforward struggle, and clear cut desires in their parts for the romance. This was a fun read and a great installment in the series, and I hope there will be more down the road.

Jasper Chatten spies a young lad who he realizes is in actuality a young woman. He sets out to convince her to travel with his group of Highlanders taking his younger sister back home to Chatten. Widowed Terin Campbell had been obedient and she knows her father will be finding another marriage for her unless she escapes and disappears. She comes upon Jasper and his sister and decides to travel to Chatten. Jasper slowly tries to get her to reveal herself, he tries to get her to trust him. Jasper has never had these feeling before for a young woman and feels he’s found his mate, but now to convince her to marry him and keep her safe. A captivating story of love in the Highlands between clans and love always finds a way as a young woman decides what to do with the rest of her life, chose her own life or wait for someone to chose for her. I voluntarily read and reviewed this extraordinary story.

Terin certainly deserves some happiness, and she's determined to get it. Jasper takes a good look at this young lad and realizes she isn't a lad! No spoiler here, but this story is short and very sweet.

In an era where women were used as pawns to cement alliances and parcelled off in marriage, Terin considers herself lucky to have not only survived her abusive marriage but her evil mother-in-law as well. I found this book full of intrigue and suspense as Terin makes her escape into the snowy wilds, and by keeping her wits about her, she perchance lands up in the path of the one man who can lead her to her destination safely. When Jasper first espies Terin, he cannot but help notice that there is something odd about her. The longer he looks at her, the more he realizes that she is a woman on the run and he knows just where to take her. Having read previous books in this series, I was so glad that I was able to read this book too as it brings healing and redemption to those who have been scorned. I received a copy of this romance as a gift from Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

This fourth book of Mary Wine's Highland Rogues Series takes place right after the last book. It is Terin Campbell's escape from the Duncan family. This is a tale of a woman who is determined to survive and make her own choices in life instead of blindly being controlled by men. Along the way she discovers a man, Jasper Chattan, a third son, who is also determined to make his way in the world. Together they forge a future I found an interesting tale of finding home and happiness. I knew I liked Jasper from the previous book. Terin was a surprise to discover with her heart looking to be loved.

Terin's bully of a husband Goron, the Duncan Laird was dead, leaving her a virgin after four years of marriage. Her dominating mother-in-law, Benedicta was also dead, by her own plans for Terin so it was her time to escape. Benedicta tried to poison her. Terin turned the tables on her and had the poisoned meal delivered to Benedicta instead. Disguising herself as a lad, she strikes out on foot to find her widowed Aunt Davonna. Terin has heard her home on Chattan land is sanctuary taking in widows and orphans. This is when we find Jasper Chattan returning home from book 3, The Highlander's Captive. His sister Kianna, was the too young prospective bride for Rolfe Munro. When forced to find sanctuary during a snow storm, Jasper is drawn to the bedraggled lad he finds at poor excuse for an inn. The lad is hungry, half frozen and being left to fend on the floor of the over crowded inn. This starts the story of two strong individuals determined to find a place and happiness for their futures. Jasper quickly sees through Terin's disguise to see she's a woman escaping from somewhere and he determines to help her escape. He finds himself fascinated with her but uncertain to her motives...is she a spy or just desperate? I loved watching them fall in love.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I just loved the story of Terin and Jasper. He is the 3rd son of a laird, who has made his place in the world. He doesn't buy into shipping his sister off for an unhappy political alliance. He runs into Terin on his way back from deciding not to go through with said exchange. He runs into Terin, who is dressed as a boy--running from her own disaster of a arranged-horrible-marriage-that-ends-with-her-as-a-widow-in-danger. Whew! We love her determination to force a better life for herself. An act of kindness towards Jasper's sister draws his attention. It's a great story as they overcome the obstacles to seize what they want--each other. Well written!!!

Another great addition to the Highland Rogues series. This one with Terin and Jasper (who was in the last story) and their winding road to love!

Terin is escaping from her the terrible family of her deceased husband, who threatened her life... and making a new beginning by traveling to her aunt's. Dressed as a lad she hopes she can get by without anyone recognizing her.

Stopping at an Inn, Jasper and his sister end up getting stalled in a snow storm. He notices a lad, who seems to need help, and then realizes it is a lass, Terin!

Great adventure with two characters who just need to find their way to each other!

Terin Campbell knows that she must escape and soon. Following the death of her husband and his mother, she knew that it was only a matter of time before she would meet her fate by and with the new laird.
Jasper Chattan was frustrated with the snow and still with his father. Sent on a mission to deliver his young sister to her destiny, he was now returning home with his sister in tow. Fortunately, the man their father had bargained his daughter to was a man of honor. He would not marry one so young. Finding a scrawny lad in the pub, Jasper was the first to realize that this was not a lad and that “he” needed a bit of protection.
Jasper and Terin skirt around her disguise until he makes sure she knows he wasn’t fooled and he wants her as his bride. There are a few issues to resolve before the two can commit, but the biggest is the person who wants Jasper dead and will kill anyone to meet that goal.

The Highlander's Promise by Mary Wine is an exciting Highlander romance. Jasper Chattan is returning from delivering his sister to her future husband, who, thankfully, thought she was too young, so she is returning as well. His mother would have killed him if he had left her there. As it was, his father had sent her when her mother was not there, to avoid the battle that would have ensued. At the inn in which they stopped for the night he picked up a "lad" who appeared to be in need of a friend. Even then, Jaspar knew "he" was a woman and eventually discovered she was called Terin. What he didn't know was why "he" was passing herself off as a lad. Needless to say, it made for a good story.

It was an interesting back-story. Jasper's mother had been betrothed to Jasper's uncle, and Jasper's father, to Davonna. When Jasper's uncle died, things got muddled. In order to keep both dowries, both brides had to stay. Obviously they could not stay in the same keep so Davonna was sent off to Larks Point Tower, where over the years she had made a rumbling pile of rocks into an enterprise paying its own way; it was a welcoming place for women and orphans, and it had it won set of rules. Jasper had been the chief there for years, earning the position though hard work and being an excellent master. Davonna was Terin's aunt and so she was made welcome and absorbed in to the community. As do all good men, Jasper had an enemy, one who planned him ill will, which never came to pass since Jasper treated everyone well, including the bad guy's lackeys. This was a terrific plot, just enough going on to keep the reader interested. It was different and compelling. The story of Davonna's Larks Point Tower was refreshing and noble. A good read. I recommend it.

I was invited to read The Highlander's Promise by Dragonblade, through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #netgalley #thehighlanderspromise

Terin Campbell barely survived her marriage. Now she's a widow and not going to wait for someone else to decide how she will live the rest of her life. She has a destination in mind, but traveling alone in winter is scary.

Jasper Chattan is thankfully returning his sister home. It will save him trouble from his mother. At a stop on the way home a youngster attracts his attention. This could make the trip much more fun.

Our independent heroine calls on all of her courage to get the new life she wants. Our mischievous hero is a third son, so has had to make his own place in the world. Now he is a respected Chief at an unusual outpost.

This is part of a series but easily read on it's own.

Great characters and lots of fun.

I loved it.

This follows Book followers the last book in “The Highlander’s Captive,” where it shows how The Duncan Clan was nothing but pure evil. They wanted a woman with royal blood and would do anything to obtain it even murder the current wife with no blue blood! Now Terin Campbell who had been married to the abusive Laird, Goron Duncan and his muderous mother Benedicta are both dead. Benedicta was the mastermind in committing murder who planned out to the evil details of Terin’s murder. Yet be careful what you wish for, as Benedicta ended up being poisoned by mistake instead of Terin which her muderous mother-in-law had planned in detail all along! In their four years of marriage her husband had never even touched Terin who is still an innocent and untouched. Of course he lied saying she was barren. This book is shows how Terin escapes trying to reach her Aunt Davonna was taking sanctuary and taking in orphans and widows at Clan Chattan. This also introduced Jasper Chattan in the last book that is the hero of this story.


Jasper is a third son and had been bringing his sixteen year old Klanna sister for her future husband, who she was obviously way too young for. Luckily the groom had realized that too. His mother would have been so distraught and had his head on a platter, if he had abandoned his young sister so he is bringing his sister home too. This had been his father’s idea for a clan alliance to avoid a war, of course he did this when his wife was away as she would have never allowed her young daughter to be sacrificed like this! Now Jasper is introduced to Terin who is in a disguise as a lad and befriends the lad. Except after studying all the details of her he realized she was a Lass. He wondered why she was hiding her true identity? Plus if the church found out this Lass would be in an enormous amount of trouble!

This story shows how Terin and Jasper are both trying to make their way in the world on their own terms. It also shows how they are drawn to each. Will they have some issues in their road to love? Read and find out in another magnificent Mary Wine story!

You can read as a stand alone book or series order. I recommend reading each story but if you are new to this author you will be fine reading as a stand alone book too.

Mary Wine is an author I have been reading for many years and always love her storytelling abilities. As I am always swept away in her romantic suspense stories which is always a pure delight to read! It has all the details that Scottish historical romance readers love.

An excellent take of high adventure as Mary Wine has written a choice story filled with compassion with a special understanding of human motivation and love. Again another book readers don’t want to miss!

I vacillated between 4 and 5 stars. Parts well worth 5 and obviously parts 4 stars. I rounded up because for the most part it was very engaging. I read Mary Wine's stories whenever I get the opportunity. I know I'm guaranteed an adventurous and passionate highland journey. This one is outstanding with the hero and heroine strong restless individuals. It's set during an sudden and intense storm just before winter and pushes these two people to the ends of their ropes.
