![]() ![]() Reading this one gives me a case of the déjà vu. Rionna’s father is plotting, Caelen just can’t say the right things or do nice things outside the bedroom for so long, and thus, the story just goes on and on. It’s not that she’s hopping with joy, mind you – her marriage is a political arrangement to facilitate the alliance of two Scottish clans as a means to cement King David’s position against the naughty men who find his presence on the throne most disagreeable. So, finally, after being pushed aside by the two older McCabe brothers for their various true loves, Rionna McDonald finally gets to marry a McCabe – the youngest brother Caelen. ![]() This story is composed of so many Highland clichés, you can actually correctly fill in any blanks with your familiarity with these clichés. In this one, the plot is a closure of sorts of the loose ends from the previous books, but this one can be read just fine as a standalone story. Never Love a Highlander, published only a few months after the previous book in Maya Banks’s trilogy about the McCabe dimwits, only demonstrates one thing: this book is so distressingly similar in so many ways to the previous books in this trilogy that, perhaps, it would be wiser to have spaced these books further apart. ![]()
