review 1: I thought this story was really good. I enjoyed the spunk of the heroine and the charm and mischievousness of the hero. Although Jemma is a lady she is not afraid to stand up for herself and throw a punch. The hero uses his charm and humor to woo Jemma and get her to marry him. Although Jemma is first portrayed as a shallow careless nitwit, her strength of character soon becomes apparent and she is more than a match for Gordon and his clan.
review 2: In “My Fair Highlander” by Mary Wine, we meet the beautiful English beauty, Jemma Ramsden, and the challenging Scottish laird, Gordon Dwyre.Jemma Ramsden has had free run of her father’s estate…until he passes from a drawn out illness and her brother Curan, the new Lord Ryppon, takes control of the grou... morends. Now Jemma’s only reprieve from her aching grief for her father comes from her daily rides across the English hills. But when one of her rides accidentally brings her across the border into Scotland, she finds herself accosted by a group of English ruffians disguised as knights.Gordon Dwyre, Laird Barras, has been watching Jemma’s mad dashes across the countryside and is fascinated by the wild passion he senses within her. Finding himself drawn to the borders of his land and that of her brother’s on a regular basis, it is just his luck that he stumbles upon the ruffians just in time to save Jemma. And where else to take her to ensure her safety but his own castle?However, little does he know that his castle may not be as safe for this English noblewoman as he once thought. While Gordon and Jemma lock heads in a battle of wills, Gordon fighting for the affections of this stubborn Englishwoman, and Jemma fighting her attraction to this charming Scot, there is danger swirling ever closer to Jemma—and will Gordon be able to convince her she belongs with him before the danger separates them…forever?Mary Wine is a very accomplished writer. She created a dynamic character in Jemma, starting out with a girl grieving for her father and resenting the new constrictions placed on her by her brother, and going to show us a woman who has matured and come to understand her brother, and who finds herself drawn to this mysterious, attractive laird.With Gordon, Wine shoes us a man confident in himself and what he wants—and he knows what must be done to accomplish it. And while confiding Jemma as a captive in his castle isn’t the most romantic gesture, he more than makes up for it by well and truly courting Jemma within his castle.The sexual tension between these characters was thick yet sweet, building along with their passions. However, the only part I felt difficult to follow was Jemma’s sudden capitulation to Gordon after fighting him for so long. He says they’re to be married and before I knew it, they were. The fire and spirit so instilled in Jemma seemed to have disappeared for a scene or two before she was restored to her passionate self.All in all, an enjoyable read. Well developed characters, an interesting plot with a creative twist, and of course, a happily ever after. less
