Publisher Description
Enchanted by the Highlander is the fourth book in a charming and enchanting Scottish series that reimagines fairytales by Lecia Cornwall.
Gillian MacLeod is shy and quiet, the least likely of all her sisters to seek out excitement and adventure. But on a moonlit night at a masquerade ball, Gillian steals a kiss from a mysterious stranger, knowing she’ll never see him again.
John Erly, disowned by his noble English father, started a new life in Scotland. Most people are suspicious of the foreign mercenary and he does everything is his power to avoid romantic entanglements. But he can’t forget the bewitching beauty who kissed him in the dark, and stole his heart, even though he has no idea who she might be.
A year later, John is given the duty of escorting Gillian to her wedding and immediately recognizes her as the temptress he’s dreamed of for months. There’s not much he can do when she's promised to another man, but fate intervenes and this time, passion—and adventure—can’t be denied. Honor demands he stay away from the MacLeod’s enchanting daughter, but love has a very different ending in mind...
Customer Reviews
Loved this!
I received an advanced reading copy of this book from the publisher.
This forbidden love story kept me reading to find out what was going to happen next. I loved the hero and heroine in this book. John Erly struggles with his feelings for Gillian Macleod. Gillian MacLeod comes into her own, learns to voice her opinions and fight for what she wants. There was plenty of action and interesting secondary characters.
This book is part of a series but is standalone.

This is the fourth book in the series and I enjoyed it with that being said it did not start out well. It took quite some time for the story to get going but when it did I could not put it down.
John “English John” Erly has many secrets that he keeps to himself, an English man in Scotland does not have it easy. Saving Alasdair Og from imprisonment and becoming his friend has in away given John a purpose and a job, Dair’s captain. Everyone thinks John is a rogue and he does nothing to to stop the rumors.
Gillian MacLeod is one of the many daughters of Laird Donal MacLeod. Being the quite daughter, her sisters and everyone else talk for her and for the most part she allows it. The only problem is it’s getting out of hand and everyone thinks they know what she should do and what she wants out of life. She wants adventure and freedom to do what she wants and to find a great love like her other sisters.
When Gillian meets John she sees the man he truly is, a caring and honorable man. John knows he’s not good enough for Gillian and does everything he can to push her way. When he sees the life he never knew he wanted slip away he needs a make a decision.
This book had great dialogue, sweet romance and great sexual tension and nail biting suspense. I can’t wait for the next book.
