Laire MacLeod is the beautiful daughter of Laird MacLeod and is about to witness her father’s eighth marriage. Unbeknownst to all, he had fallen under the spell of the evil temptress, Bibianna. The evil woman drinks bird blood and eats bird’s hearts. She even has a handsome huntsman, Iain, who is directed to hunt down the beautiful Laire as she tries to find help for her father and sisters. I must stop here to say that I am not a fan of stories about the occult or socerery. This book was called a fairy tale so I decided to try it. It actually is the Scottish version of Snow White! I thought it was an engaging story with likable characters! It had those fun moments for me deciding good from evil characters! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it for readers of historical fiction and those who like magic, spells and love!

The Lady and the Highlander by Lecia Cornwall will be available April 4, 2017 by St. Martin’s Press. An egalley of this book was made available by the publishers via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
