Commentary 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.

Rate Based On Books Ransom (Highlands' Lairds #2)

Reread.5 star rating, hands down. Another wonderful romance by JG. Gillian and Brodick, what a perfect match. And Brodick needed a Gillian; strong, brave and tenderhearted all in one, perfect compliment to who he was. Brodick was all alpha but couldn't hide his feeling or tenderness for Gillian though. Action packed, lots of laughter and tender moments all wrapped up on one beautiful story.I loved the second romance between Ramsey and Bridgid. Wish they had their own book/story.Wonderful to see

Was this 5 star literature? No, but it sure is 5 star enjoyable. It's campy at times and I doubt the historical accuracy "and you know what?" I didn't care. I was so happy to get Brodick's story and Gillian was lovable despite being so perfect. I won't say much about this as it's been reviewed a zillion times. It's pure fantasy, but it kept me absorbed and put a smile on my face.Susan Duerden was a fabulous narrator, as usual.

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

Excellent! A+! A suberb medieval epic!!! The book is one huge mother of a read but you barely feel it as the pages go whipping on by. You get two top notch alphas Highlanders: Ramsey and Brodick both lairds of their clan. They get what they want when they want except maybe the women they really love so they have to resort to trickery --especially Brodick-- to seal the deal with their lady loves. The word play in one marriage scene is so well-done that the reader feels like the heroine and

DNFGot to 50% and the insta-love, awkward conversations, and kinda boring plot is making me stop. The adorably obnoxious Alec (he's a five year old boy) is the only reason I got this far, and his character is why I'm giving this two stars instead of one.

Brodick is the synonym for Alpha males and very savage but he is one of those Heroes you want for yourself , Aye Gillian and Brodick's story is heartwarming , Ramsey-Brigid's is like icing on the cake. I am glad I read it, Gonna dig for more Highland stories now.

Summary Gillian was just a child when her home was attacked, and her sister disappeared, and her father murdered in front of her, and the Baron Alfred took over and sent her away to her uncle up to northern England. Now its been ten years and she has been called back to the Baron, who wants to know the location of a box that belonged to King John, and thinks that the family still has possession over it. When she plans a escape with a child, Alec, who falls down a gorge, and she rescues him, they
