Book Review: The Highland Duke by Amy Jarecki

She'll put her life on the line for him . . . 
When Akira Ayres finds the brawny Scot with a musket ball in his thigh, the healer has no qualms about doing whatever it takes to save his life. Even if it means fleeing with him across the Highlands to tend to his wounds while English redcoats are closing in. Though Akira is as fierce and brave as any of her clansmen, even she's intimidated by the fearsome, brutally handsome Highlander who refuses to reveal his name.

Yet she can never learn his true identity.
Geordie knows if Akira ever discovers he's the Duke of Gordon, both her life and his will be forfeit in a heartbeat. The only way to keep the lass safe is to ensure she's by his side day and night. But the longer he's with her, the harder it becomes to think of letting her go. Despite all their differences, despite the danger-he will face death itself to make her his . . . 


"Readers get all the benefits of a modern road trip (forced proximity, lots and lots of dialogue, and uninterrupted time for the hero and heroine's love to grow) without technology or secondary characters interrupting the main story arc. About halfway through there is a pretty darn huge plot twist, too. This book kept me on my toes and anxious for more." --Book Riot


                                                                     MY REVIEW:


The Highland Duke by Amy Jarecki
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Akira finds Geordie with a musket ball in his leg so she nurses him back to health as she is a healer. Where she comes from there is no money and her 2 sister and herself share a bed and their mother sleeps on a pallet on the floor. Bur Geordie pays her enough for them to eat for a year. Then she finds out who he really is and she is upset because he hid his name and being a duke. The banter between these 2 were funny at times and the relationship growing between them was fun to watch as well. No matter how many times they were seperated Geordie always made sure he was able to rescue her. The love story between these 2 was so heartfelt because of their backgrounds. He is a Duke , divorced with 2 children and not allowed to marry again, let alone a "Gypsy". The ex wife in this book is just a wench. She is mean spirited and I don't think her kids even like her. I will continue on 
with this series.
