Highlander Untamed by Monica McCarty is the first novel in the Highlander Trilogy. It is a fabulous historical romance that will take you on a journey through the Scottish Highland. This novel lured me right into a world full of betrayal, loyalty and romance.
Monica McCarty has written an amazingly story. I found it enjoyable to read with a strong heroine with her very gorgeous highlander. I hope she continues to write like this in her next two novels and lures me right back into their world again.
I know Alex MacLeod will be next and I cannot wait to read what’s in store for him. I’m looking forward to his story.
