Product Description

Product Description

They call him the Devil, the most notorious laird in all of Scotland. But Cullen, the new Larid of Donnachaidh, pays them no heed. He cares only about the survival of his clan, and for that, he needs a wife. He wants someone stout to bear him sons. He wants a pliable woman who wouldn't question his dictates. He wants a passionate woman to warm his bed...one out of three isn't bad. Evelinde has lived under the cruel thumb of her stepmother for too long. That is the only explanation for her eagerness to wed the "Devil of the Highlands". She's determined to be a good wife, but this Devil needs to learn that there is more to a marriage than what goes on in the bedchamber...

3.0 out of 5 stars Average Scottish historical romance, 13 Jul 2009
By Helen Hancox "Auntie Helen" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The problem with 'Devil of the Highlands' as a book was that the characters didn't come alive. A mixture of Scottish historical romance with a murder investigation plot thrown in, the book wandered around through various events without any of the characters ever feeling truly real.

Our heroine, Evelinde, finds herself escaping a wicked Stepmother when she is married to the man known as the 'Devil of the Highlands'. But Callum Duncan isn't as devilish as people think... or is he? His Uncle, father and first wife all died and there are suspicions that Callum might be to blame.

Evelinde decides to get to the bottom of the murders but soon discovers that her life appears to be also at risk. As she tries to settle in to living as Callum's life whilst delving into his history and trying to get to know him, she finds herself the recipient of several nasty accidents. Who is trying to kill her?

Callum was a strange hero - largely absent from the book; if not in person then in engagement. He's there but he doesn't do a lot, says even less, and felt very nebulous. There were other male characters who seemed more real than the hero. Evelinde, too, doesn't really change throughout the book, she just bumbles on doing her own thing. I found her fairly boring and many of the other characters were interchangeable.

The murder plot aspect worked a little better and I didn't guess the murderer until they were revealed - but this was perhaps because we didn't know enough about any of the characters to really get a handle on what they were like.

Lynsay Sands' writing isn't too bad and the story moved along, it's just that I found this story lacking any real fire or passion. It was an easy read but an unsatsifying one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lynsay Sands...Devil of the Highlands, 18 April 2009
I have read all of Lynsay's books and found that her historical novels are some the best in this genre. Devil of the Highlands is no exception, I managed to read of this book in a couple of sittings. As always, it was a light, enjoyable relaxing read. It is a book to be savoured.

I recommend this book for romantic escapism and a Sunday rainy afternoon read. If you have read Julie Garwood or very early Amanda Quick books, Lynsay's historical books have a similar light amusing quality about them.

Lynsay Sands has outdone herself again. This book is a really good read, lots of humor which I enjoy in her books. She always has me laughing; I have read all her books and can't wait for another one. If you love books with a good sense of humor you will definitely love this one.
