It has been a while since I have picked up this series. I have finally caught up with my ARC assignments! I was needing a little change of pace and a steamy Highland romance always does the trick. Highlander Entangled by Vonda Sinclair is the 9th book in the Highland Adventure series. This book follows the romance between Colin and Kristina, which means readers are taken back to the events of book 8, Highlander Unbroken. Blackburn MacCromer has taken Lady Kristina hostage to convince her sister, Lady Anna to come back to him. Anna has been safely guarded by Neacal but has asked his foster brother, Colin, for help. Colin rescues Kristina and is angered by the abuses she has endured. Her injuries have left her blind and scarred. Their time together brings them close together and Colin strived to show Kristina that she is beautiful and worthy of his love. Behind the scenes, a new villain rises threatening to keep their fragile love apart.

Trigger warnings: attempt rape, abuse, pregnancy loss, blindness by injury, PTSD

This book is all about the characters. The plot could have used a little revamp. Poor Kristina was kidnapped one too many times and it got repetitive. But the characters are captivating! Kristina is blind because of the abuse she endured and left scarred. Her experiences have made her courageous but she does struggle with PTSD and self-confidence. She decides that her disability limits her and makes her unworthy of being a laird’s wife. Colin sees her worth and he acknowledges her blindness but does not think that it limits her at all. I loved seeing her realize her worth and her importance.

SPOILER ALERT:

I only wish that her sight didn’t keep coming and going. It did not feel realistic. I understand it was supposed to be a miracle so she would be a confident laird’s wife. But I wanted her to maintain that confidence and accept and love herself.

Overall, the pace is fast and readers will not want to put it down! I rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
