Hannah Dounreay is my kind of heroine -- intelligent, pragmatic, and kind. However, as much as I like Hannah, the hero kind of steals the show. At the opening of the story, Hannah locks eyes with a muscular and fierce looking Highland warrior. Although she immediately falls in lust with that man, she assumes -- much like I would -- that a man like that probably wouldn't be the kind of caring and thoughtful man she yearned for. She was wrong. Alexander Lochlannach, Laird of Dunnet, is everything she wanted and more. After being tempered by a brutal childhood, Alexander is both a strong and extremely sweet man. This combination of physical strength and depth of caring is a heady mix.

I normally hate too many misunderstandings in a story. The communication problems Hannah and Alexander have at the beginning of HANNAH AND THE HIGHLANDER are because of Alexander's stuttering, and the fact that he tries to keep Hannah from knowing about it. Without knowing about his problem, Hannah misinterprets some of Alexander's actions. I like that Sabrina York gives a legitimate reason for these romance miscues and keeps them to a minimum. Having the story told from both perspectives helps the reader understand both characters a little more. I love how they both have more in common than they first realize. For different reasons, they both have some feelings of inadequacy when it comes to their siblings, even though they have good relationships with them.

HANNAH AND THE HIGHLANDER is a lively and charming romance set amid the beauty of the highlands. HANNAH AND THE HIGHLANDER is super sexy with great characters and imaginative storytelling. This is one of those books that you won't be able to put down. The supporting characters in HANNAH AND THE HIGHLANDER are just as interesting as the main characters. Two of the characters that especially captured my imagination are Hannah's sister Lana, with her special abilities, and the enigmatic Duke of Caithness. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book in this Untamed Highlanders series by Sabrina York!
