Welcome to book 1 in the sensational new series, The Queen’s Highlanders by USA Today bestselling author Heather McCollum.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highlander Kerr Gordon is taking his life in his hands by representing Mary Stuart,  Queen of Scots at the court of her enemy Queen Elizabeth. It will not help him that there is someone planning her assassination. 

Maggie Darby has been named as the Queen's sacrificial lamb because of her duty to test for poison in gifts sent for the Queen. 

There are a lot of surprises in this historical romance.  Political intrigue is the norm, and danger is around every corner.  Our characters have life changing decisions to make from the moment they meet. 

This is the first book in a new series that I will definitely be reading more of.  

I loved it.

Without mercy, there is no love in this third installment of the Sons of Sinclair historical romance series by award-winning author Heather McCollum.

Gideon Sinclair, the third Sinclair brother, judges everything in stark terms of good and evil. There is nothing in between, and he is efficient at passing judgment without mercy. Now that his clan has conquered the warring MacKays, Gideon starts the process of integrating them into the Sinclair Clan. He will sort the people, punish the bad, and better the lives of the good. Judging is as easy to him as breathing, until he meets Christina MacKay, who steals his breath...along with his Sinclair ring.

A young widow, Christina MacKay has given her life over to helping the orphaned children in the clan. But love won’t put shoes on their cold feet and food in their stomachs. Christina tired years ago of seeing the rich get richer and the poor suffer more and more, so she decided to do something about it. An agile thief of the rich by night, when she is caught, the new conquering chief must decide her fate.

When Gideon realizes that the thief is the same woman who had already captured his attention, he hesitates for the first time in his life. Letting her get away with her deed leads to more trouble when she is accused of stealing from King James and is arrested. Now Gideon must commit his own crime against the Scottish crown if he is to save Christina. But can a man who was raised to honor and uphold justice break the law for the woman who’s stolen his heart?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gideon Sinclair is the third of the an brothers.  The MacKay clan has been conquered and he is in the process of trying to bring peace between them and the Sinclairs.  Known as the Horseman of Justice he will use his knowledge of law and many years training to judge the actions of others.  Our hero tends to see people as right or wrong, no inbetween.  He is the ultimate judge. 

Cait MacKay is a young widow who has taken in orphaned or abandoned children.  She will do anything to keep them fed and healthy,  even if it means breaking the law.  Our heroine has a few very surprising talents.  Keeping her children out of trouble is not one of them unfortunately. 

A marvelous, action packed historical romance.  Wonderful characters that will keep you hooked in the story from the first to last page.  You can read this book on it's own, but I personally think that it's better to read as a series in order.  Just because there is so much happening it can't fit into one book.  You will definitely want to know about the other Horseman brothers.  

I loved it.
