Seven years later, he is still fighting for the crown, and his victories are legendary-both in the battlefield and in the bedroom. Yet he's never forgotten his bonnie lass.

Now her heart belongs only to Scotland. As part of a secret alliance, she journeys to London in search of information . . . only to find herself face to face with the one man she swore she'd never trust again. Though Mairi's body still craves Connor's touch, she can't forgive his betrayal. But a traitor lurks in their midst and to protect her beloved Highlands, Mairi must make a leap of faith and join forces with Connor-even if it means losing her heart to him again.

MY BOOK REVIEW 

Summary:
Davina Montgomery is hidden away for her own safety, in a abbey. Only a few people know if Davina’s true identity, but one has betrayed her. So seeing all those that she has come to love be killed, she is saved by Scottish Laird, Robert MacGregor. Robert has no loyalty to England, but seeing a woman in distress he saves her without fully knowing what he has gotten himself into. Determined to protect Davina at all costs, he takes her to his home and clan, and after sharing a sensual embrace with Davina, he wants to keep her for good, even though he suspects her secret, and knows that he will risk everything if he wants her in his life.

The Hero 
Robert MacGregor, will be a powerful Scottish Laird, as he is the first son, and feels no loyalty to England or the throne. Roberts is a powerful warrior, and as the oldest of his fathers children, he has learned to take control and responsibility for his actions. Robert saves a young woman, but didnt realize how much she would change his life, enough for him to risk his life to keep her in his life.

The Heroine 
Davina Montgomery bears a secret, a secret that if known to any of her or her family’s enemies, could end up with her killed. She has spent much of her life in a abbey, and has devoted much of her life to God. However when someone close to her betrays her, and she finds the sisters dead and without a place to go, she is saved by Robert MacGregor, whose tender kisses tempts her to risk everything for love, but she wonders if she could choose between the path set for her or the path that has chosen her, the path of true love….

My Thoughts 
Ravished By A Highlander is the first installment in the Children of the Mist series written by Paula Quinn. Paula Quinn has such a talent for writing Scottish Highland Historical Romances and she definitely came out on top with Ravished by a Highlander. I truly loved this story and everything about it. Paula Quinn is such a story teller, and throughout this book, it was like falling in love all over again. The characters were telling and deeply driven. The plot was intense and full of adventure and dilemma, this story will captivate every heart. Definitely a Five blossom in my book!!!

My Favorite Quote:
  When he deepened the kiss, she had the feeling of falling deep into a chasm where only he existed, ready and waiting to catch her.
