The Highlander is All That is the fourth book in the Untamed Highlanders series by Sabrina York. I have read the third book in the series, but not the others. While reading the previous book(s) does give some insight into a few characters, it is not necessary to understand or enjoy this book.
Elizabeth St. Claire
has always been hard to please. Dreaming solely of Highlander men her
whole life, no prancing London Lord can stand a chance at winning her
heart, but perhaps a Scotsman can. Elizabeth watches
intrigued as the Highlander of her dreams, a Scotsman named Hamish Robb,
arrives to oversee her season at the behest of her cousin, the Duke of
Caithness. Elizabeth doesn’t hide her feelings for the striking Scot.
But Hamish, determined to obey his order to protect the St. Claire
sisters, steadfastly rejects her every seducing lure. Believing
that the debutante Elizabeth deserves a better, wealthier man, Hamish
continues to turn away from her affection, even though he doesn’t
exactly want to. Can this Highlander Scot resist the tempting
seductress’ attempts to win his heart?
The Highlander is All That is a historical romance that exceeded my expectations in some ways. I loved Elizabeth's character- she is not interested in the lords that come courting, and the one that has his sights set on her most ardently literally makes her ill. That small detail made me smile, and a little sympathetic because the smell of several perfumes and other things have the same affect on me. I like that Hamish and Ranald are determined to do the right thing by the sisters, despite their feelings, and that the ladies are equally as stubborn. I enjoyed the banter between our main couple, and other important characters. I liked that there was some humor, some danger, and lots of great characters and development. I love that the story let all four St. Claire sisters; Anne, Elizabeth, Victoria, and Mary find love in unconventional but happy ways and outcomes. There is a little something for everyone here, and I would hate to ruin any of the surprises or adventure by giving too much away.
The Highlander is All That is a book that has many things going on, but never so much that the story gets lost. Every character and story thread gets its fair share and resolution. Make sure you pick this up when you have plenty of uninterrupted time to enjoy it, because you are not going to want to put it down.
