It's stories like this one that makes me love Highland romances more and more! I absolutely loved this story and I even read way into the early morning hours to finish it since I couldn't fall asleep without knowing what would happen next!!! Miriam Minger writes from the heart and it shows.

Conall is forced to kidnap and marry a certain lass on the orders of King Robert and it all goes as planned except for one small thing....he's married the wrong lass!! Lisette has her reasons for not telling Conall the truth and as they get to know one another, their future looks to be brighter except for some who would want to tear them apart. This is a very exciting story to read, it's full of danger, deceptions, adventure and best of all...love:) Add in a few unexpected twists and turns and you have the perfect mix.

I was given an ARC of this book via NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The third book in Miriam Minger’s Warriors of the Highlands series, My Highland Captor follows Conall Campbell, a warrior who is rewarded for helping to save Robert the Bruce’s life. Unfortunately, Conall’s gift is a wife, which he doesn’t want. Plus, he has to steal her from her fiancée, who is one of Robert the Bruce’s enemies. Not one to disobey orders from his leader, Conall kidnaps Isabeau and begins his journey to the new property also gifted to him by Robert the Bruce. Except, unbeknownst to Conall, he kidnapped the wrong woman.

Lisette knows she’ll do whatever she can to get out from under the vile clutches of her malicious half-sister Isabeau. So, when she is mistaken for Isabeau and taken by the handsome Conall, she continues the charade. How will Conall react when he finds out he took the wrong woman, and can this pair resist their growing feelings?

I enjoyed My Highland Captor and think it is a strong addition to the series. The characters are dynamically developed and interesting, the plot is well-paced, intriguing, and suspenseful, and the romance is swoon-worthy. Lisette and Conall have amazing chemistry, even though their relationship started under unusual circumstances. Conall shows Lisette very early on that he is honorable and brave. He protects, defends, and cares for her even though he’s kidnapped her, and he slowly shows her that she is more than an unwanted bride.

Both Conall and Lisette struggle with their feelings, which makes sense since both are unwillingly pushed into the marriage. Conall resists his feelings because he has been burned by love before, so he finds it difficult to let anyone into his heart. Lisette keeps secrets from Conall and fears revealing them will ruin her potential future with him. However, as they physically journey to their new home, Conall and Lisette go on an emotional journey too. Their feelings and fears and reluctance change the more they get to know each other, and they both face some truths about themselves. I enjoyed seeing this pair grow, both as a couple and individually, and their romance is wonderful.

The story has suspense, danger, and intrigue, and the chapters told from Lisette’s half-sister add to the intensity. With kidnapping, threats as they travel, nefarious and secret plots underway, and someone from their past who threatens their future, there is never a dull moment for Lisette and Conall.

I would definitely recommend this book to readers of historical romance, and if you read the first books of the series, you’ll be pleased to know that several of the characters make appearances in this book. However, if you didn’t read the first two, you can easily read this one as a standalone. Thanks so much to NetGalley, Oliver Heber Books, and the author for giving me a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

This is one Fantastic story I was not expecting. Filled with Suspense and Gripping! I love when a book grabs you right from the start and takes you on a heart stopping journey as in My Highland Captor. It's a action-packed rollercoaster ride as Conall finds himself with a unwanted bride. With the appearances from characters who you found a special place in your heart for from the first novel. Miriam Minger weaves a story from beginning to end with threads of intrigue, kidnapping, and danger. It's a well-written romance that brims with tension-building twists and turns, remarkable emotions, characters that come off the pages and pull you into their emotional ride that keeps you involved until the very end, sizzling passion, and with one fantastic plot that leaves you eagerly anticipating the next in the series.

My Highland Captor had great pacing. I did not care for romance novels where the hero has a surprise baby with the other woman, so this was not my cup of tea, at all.

This had a ton of heart and warmth. A forced marriage and the craziness that ensues. Loved the intricacies in the characters and their path to love and happiness.
