Chronicle As Books Ransom (Highlands' Lairds #2)

Overflowing with all of the majesty and intrigue of medieval glory days, this magnificent New York Times bestseller is a page-turner of passion and loyalty, justice and honor. Beloved storyteller Julie Garwood steps back to the silver-shrouded Highlands of her classic tale The Secret--and hails the return of two unforgettable warriors: Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan. In the dark days after the death of Richard the Lionhearted, lives and lands would fall into upheaval at the hands of a power-hungry British ruler and his violent minions. One victim of the scourge is innocent Gillian, who is a mere child when the cruel and ambitious Baron Alford slaughters her father and tears her family apart. Alford, determined to recover a jeweled box for the despotic King John, is furious when the precious treasure slips through his fingers--only to be lost for more than a decade. Now a beautiful young woman, Gillian finds the key to resolving her past in handsome Scottish chieftains Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan. With the cunning and courage of the daring Scotsmen, and with the friendship of a new ally, Bridgid KirkConnell, Gillian at last fights the unscrupulous Baron Alford, laying claim to her home, her family, and her father's reputation. But in the presence of the mighty warriors, Gillian and Bridgid discover that desire can be a weapon of conquest...betrayal can slay trust in a heartbeat...and the greatest risk of all is surrender--to the deep emotions of unexpected love.

Weigh Up Epithetical Books Ransom (Highlands' Lairds #2)

★★★★½ I read this, the second in the Highlands Lairds series, years ago and thought Id give it another go to see if it still held up. (It does!) There was also going to be a buddy read something I find hard to resist, since I love a good discussion about a great book.My image of green eyed, brown-haired Gillian.Picture by artist, Cris Ortega.Thank you, Pamela(AllHoney), one of my buddy read group, for introducing me to this talented artist.What can I say about a classic Garwood Highland

Oh, crap. Did I really give this 5 stars the first time I read it?Has this really been sitting on my favorites shelf?!See? This is why it's dangerous to do rereads.sighSo, 5 years ago, I read this and thought it was A-MAZING.Like, the bestest book evah! And I've been singing its praises ever since.In fact, when I saw it was on sale a while back, I bought it!Those of you who know me realize what a big deal that was. For those of you who don't? Let's just say...I'm cheap. Reallyreallyreally cheap!

Wow I laughed a lot during this read which balanced out how many times I wanted to throttle Brodick. These brooding men who show their love but won't claim it till the end take my heart on a thrilling ride. I one moment want to cry with the heroine then the next I'm swooning all over again. Gillian was so enjoyable and funny. I liked that she didn't hold her feelings back. These two just worked for me. I really got angry at Brodick so many times but he kept making it right in his neanderthal

Another book I thought I had read. Boy was I glad that I didn't. Read this for the Julie Garwood group read, and it was delightful. Julie Garwood books are definitely comfort reads. She understands why we read romance, and one of the reasons is we want heroines who we can root for, that we fall in love with just as much as the heroes. Her heroines have this tangible sweetness that makes me want to hug them, root for them, and to fight with and for them. Gillian is no different. My heart hurt for

OK I am getting seriously addicted to this series, which is sad because theres only 1 more book left after this!Here are some of my thoughts: I LOVE the protagonist, Gillian. The book starts with the flashback, and I thought she was so annoying as a kid. However, she turns out to be so brave and caring of people. I love how she has saved Alec and has always put others before herself. She has shown over and over how badass she is. Shes not a physical fighter, but she is literally more courageous

Highlander romance. 5 starsWow! This book is long but it never felt dragged out. It's about Lady Gillian whose father was killed when their home was invaded when she was just a little girl. His father gives her big sister Christen a treasure but the two sisters are separated in the flight and Gillian is captured. When we meet her again she's grown up and held captive by the baron who killed her father. He's taken her uncle hostage and if she doesn't bring back her sister and the treasure he will

So I've read another one of Julie Garwood's historical romance books and again I'm both disappointed and satisfied at the same time. I don't know why she does this. She starts great, but then she kind of loses her mojo and she rushes things trough, and Ransom is no exception. I loved the beginning, I liked how she took time to introduce the heroine, how she talks about her childhood, about the thing that happened when Gillian was 4 years old. I loved how protective Gillian is about the young boy
