Blog Tour: Highlander Most Wanted by Maya Banks

Author: Maya Banks
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Date of Publication:  March 2013

Genevieve McInnes is locked behind the fortified walls of McHugh Keep, captive of a cruel laird who takes great pleasure in ruining her for any other man. Yet when Bowen Montgomery storms the gates on a mission of clan warfare, Genevieve finds that her spirit is bent but not broken. 
 
Bowen seizes his enemy’s keep, unprepared for the brooding and reclusive woman who captures his heart. He’s enchanted by her fierce determination, her unusual beauty, and her quiet, unfailing strength. But wooing her will take more than a seasoned seducer’s skill. For loving Genevieve, he discovers, means giving her back the freedom that was stolen from her—even if it means losing her forever.

Highlander Most Wanted is the second in the Montgomery/Armstrong series.  While I enjoyed the first book, Never Seduce a Scot, I liked this one a bit more. This one is Bowen and Genevieve's story.  Genevieve was the woman who helped Graeme find his wife in the first book.  

Ms. Banks has given us a very emotional book.  My heart broke for Genevieve and the things she had to endure.  Any woman would have broken from the abuse, but she had the strength to become a survivor.  I loved Bowen and his tenderness toward Genevieve.  He sees beyond her scars to the woman she is underneath. I loved how he set out to woo her.    His patience with her as he shows her how it can be between a man and a woman was very sigh worthy! I have to say Ms. Banks can right a great love scene!  The sacrifice that he makes for her in the end was just heart wrenching.  But, it was worth it for their wonderful HEA.  

I can't wait for the next book in the series, Highland Ever After.  It looks like it is Brodie and Taliesan's story.  I was so hoping they would end with their own story!  I look forward to more of these two wonderful families!
