Enchanted by the Highlander (Guardians of the Isles… af Gerri Russell

Enchanted by the Highlander by Gerri Russell
Story starts out with Rosalyn and she's being physically abused by James. When her brother finds out he insists she marries the English Captain James so he can get on with his life. She's lived with him for years. She is part English and part Scottish. She takes off with an escort and is rescued by Keiran who is part MacLeod and he takes her back to his family’s castle but not after having saved her life. She has wounds to prove it.
Keiran states he will protect her now. The women of the castle are also friendly as actually show her how to protect herself with various weapons at her disposal.
She also teaches Keiran how to read, it's the least she can do.
There are other aspects of this story because Keiran is from the fairy land, having been abducted when he was young. The God there sped up his years and he missed so much of his younger years.
There are so many threats to the clan, from the English and from the fairy God.
Things just get worse for them as other tragic things occur leaving some in the open to be taken.
Such a great read, love these stories. Love the travel, romance, customs, action, strategies, politics, mystery, action and adventure and so much more. Something for everyone.
A KEEPER!

A Little Highland Magic (Guardians of the Isles… af Gerri Russell

A Little Highland Magic by Gerri Russell
This story starts out when Pearl and Aria show up in the real world and ask for help.
Like that I can follow along as I've read the other books in the series. Author fills in the missing pieces if you have not read the previous books.
Love that others stand up for them and they find a way to make it possible for Aria to remain in the human world.
She has insights from her fairy life but they aren't as accurate in the human world... Such a great look into the fairy world where they go up against the leader...
Great detailed descriptions, I can see myself with them on the journey.
Never saw the outcome as such, who made it out of fairy world.
Can't wait to read more, they are being written now!

To Win a Highlander's Heart (Guardians of the Isles) af Gerri Russell

Isolde is banished from her clan's lands when she injures her sister-in-law and brother. She lives in the wilderness until she is injured saving Orrick and his men. He takes her back to his clan's lands where she is not welcomed by all. She heals. She is a warrior so when the men leave the castle and the English attack, she fights the English off. When the truth comes out, Orrick and his clan accept her. When she returns to her brother's lands, she is kidnapped by the English. Will Orrick be able to rescue her? Will her clan accept her? Will her brother?

I enjoyed this story. I liked how the clans are depicted and how they must fight the English as well as other clans. It was interesting to see how the clans negotiated with each other. I liked how Isolde learned so much on her own so she was able to help her niece. While I was no fan of her brother, he does learn to accept and appreciate Isolde. I loved how Isolde and Orrick are able to strengthen each other. Because of Isolde's faith in Orrick, he is able to become the warrior he was meant to be.

I look forward to reading more of this series and this author.… (mere)
