Book Description
The second book in a brand new sexy and unforgettable Scottish medieval romance series from Paula Quinn.
Product Description
Skilled with a sword and quick with her wit, Claire Stuart has learned to fend for herself. So when she's battling Highlanders and holding her own, she's offended when Graham Grant rides up on his white steed and assumes she is naught but a powerless, defenseless woman. En route to Edinburgh to rescue her beloved sister from the governor, Claire doesn't need an overbearing man to save her. But Graham won't allow her to journey to Edinburgh on her own. Though he's drawn to this spirited and seductive lass, he has no need for love himself--a quick tumble with a wench here and there is enough for this braw warrior. But the last thing he is willing to do is leave her alone for marauders to attack. As their journey progresses and the desire between them mounts, can this rough Highlander win the heart of a bonnie lass who doesn't need saving?

Paula Quinn's previous novel 'Laird of the Mist' introduced some of the characters that we meet in 'A Highlander Never Surrenders' although it's not necessary to have read this book to follow the action in this one. Graham Grant, a Highlander, is travelling with Roundhead Robert Campbell, Duke of Argyll, when he rescues a young woman who is being attacked by several men. Once the dust settles Grant discovers that the young woman, Claire Stuart, thought she was perfectly able to deal with the man. Not only that, but she's cousin to the King and is in the process of trying to avenge the death of her brother, Connor. As Graham and Robert travel with Claire she shows her headstrong nature - as well as her skills at fighting. But do they know who is to blame for Connor's death? Can they find safety for Claire's sister Ann? Will their brother's plans for their marriages work out?
There was nothing wrong with this book as such but somehow it failed to engage me - perhaps I've read too many stories about feisty women and monosyllabic claymore-wielding Scotsmen. The historical setting with the hints about the forthcoming Restoration were interesting, and some other historical characters thrown in for good measure. But overall I was rather disappointed with the story, it felt rather like Romance-by-numbers, and I wasn't particularly charmed by Graham Grant. Although this particular story finished at a reasonable place it is clear there will be a further story in this series - but I won't be going out of my way to find it.

I really did enjoy this book and believe it deserves more credit than 3 stars. I loved Laird of the Mist, the first book in this series and so was anticipating the next book. A Highterland never Surrenders did not let me down and delivered a riveting plot with excellent characters. There are two romance stories in the plot. One between Greham and Claire, whilst the other is between Robert and Claire's sister Anne. I enjoyed the whole read, with Scotish histroy also captured in the book. The plot contains romance, adventure and excitment. I absolutly recommened it!
p.s We also see Kate and Callum again from the last book!

following on from laird of the mist, a highlander never surrenders is the story of graham and claire. it did take me a while to get into the story and to realise that this one follows on from laird of the mist. ok story, not much believable chemistry between graham and claire. definitely leaves the door open for more books in the series, connor and a lady????
