Description
Advance Praise
“I cannot put into words how voraciously I devoured The Highland Pearl. It has been so long since a story has so ensnared my attention. You so magically captured the essence of Scotland in a way I haven't seen since Diana Gabaldon. No word was wasted, and it kept the pace flowing swiftly ahead. The realness of Maidie's concern for her son and of Andrew in accepting the Lord were startling in their freshness. I loved the scene with Andrew in the dungeon. I was captivated by the sincerity of the moment and found it was a perfect resolution to his conflict. I have absolutely nothing to add. I can't wait for the next one!” ~ Jessie Clever, author of A Countess Most Daring

Great book!! Quite the page turner and a little bit of mystery thrown in!! I never would have guessed who it was until the end!!

Though several years have passed since she married into the Munro clan, Maidie is aware few trusts her. Now a widow, she considers returning to the clan of her father, the rival of her husband's clan. However, she is summoned to tend to Chief Andrew Dubh Munro, and her heart shows her a different path.
This was a sweet read. Maidie was an interesting character to follow. Her concern for her son and her desire for him not to be trained for battle made her sympathetic. Her insecurities about being her dead husband's clan made sense for the situation.
That being said, I did find it hard to believe Chief Andrew would be up and riding after having a stomach wound. Maybe things were different back then, but it seemed highly unlikely that he would recover so quickly.
Overall, I would recommend this to readers looking for a sweet, Scottish historical read.

A good read. Has a good story line with suspense and mystery added to it. Maidie, considered to be a witch by Clan Munro is a healer. After a battle she heals the clans leader Andrew. The story takes the reader through how they are able to unite to have a good life ahead

Overall the plot is intriguing, but I did have issues with some of the story. The male MC is incredibly controlling without it really being addressed properly and the female MC makes a comment about another female character being on her period because of her mood.
I did like the use of Scottish Gaelic and the particular focus on clothing.
