Her Reluctant Highlander Husband

Clan MacKinlay, Book 2

By: Allison B. Hanson

Narrated by: Mhairi Morrison

After nine lonely years as her father's prisoner, Dorie McCurdy is forced to marry the new war chief of clan MacKinlay. Terrified and unwilling to speak, she imagines the worst of her handsome, imposing new husband.

Bryce MacKinlay Campbell's wife and child were taken by illness years ago, and all he's wanted since is to be alone. Unfortunately, he is ordered to marry the McCurdy laird's daughter for an alliance between their clans. He's appalled by the way his bride is treated by her family when she shows up looking like a ragged, homeless waif. Bryce can provide for her needs, and offer his name, but not his heart - that will never happen again.

In her husband's strong arms, Dorie slowly emerges from her silence...and gradually the ice around Bryce's heart begins to melt. But when she is unexpectedly offered an annulment, she must choose - stay with Bryce, who she's fallen in love with but who never wanted her, or choose the unknown possibilities of a different future.

Contains mature themes.

Overcoming trauma for love

Beautiful love story for this couple. a woman kept imprisoned just to be given away for marriage to a rival clan war chief that is scared by the lost of his wife and child. patience to the end for both. really lovely story.

Passion & Love

Brought me to tears…a must read that is not predictable! The author combined pain and love for a climactic ending!

Great read

This was a recommendation on Audible. I am so glad I purchased it. Loved the story, loved the narration. This book made me laugh and put a lump in my throat. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Allison Hanson wonderful story!

I can't wait to continue this series! The story is full of excitement and romance.

Back & forth with happy ending

Not a straight predictable story but happy ending nonetheless. Slow burn but good story. The whole series was great

Loving this series

The characters from both novels in the series thus far are fantastic. Love the dynamic and the continuation of each story from one to the next without cliffhangers. Looking forward to reading the 3rd installment and wish it was available on audible now.

Great character depth

Excellent, emotionally charged story of passion, pain, and love. One of the few books that have brought me to tears. Well worth the credit

oh the plot twists 🪢🪢🪢

Bryce & Dory: triggers: domestic violence, arson, infidelity. Well this book was awesome. I wasn't expecting half of the things that happened in this book so I can say that the plot twists are twisting with this one. Bryce is a widow and the war chief to Lachlan and because Cam was accidentally handfasted in the previous book, that leaves Bryce to marry the McCurdy girl for the rights to the sea. Bryce is not having this at all but because his Laird said so, he does his duty. Dory is the daughter of the McCurdy Laird and has been offered on an arrangement that if she is married to a McKinley then the McKinley clan will have access to the the waters. But when they arrive the McKinley's notice how mistreated she is and that she is mute. The story goes through so much drama with the agreement and now someone trying to kill Dory and to top it all off, Bryce is going back and forth with both his guilt and his feelings for his new wife. It's a really good story. I enjoyed it.

series continues to be great!

I truly enjoyed the 2nd installment of the series. I really felt for Bryce and Dori even when Bryce was being a jerk. I can't wait for the 3rd book to be available. I need to know about Liam!
