Dun Ugadale, 1661

Helena and her older sister Jena are little girls since their mother died and their Aunt Dorathia raised them. She is a healer for the Sutherland clan and their Aunt assumed both would learn this job. As they became young women, Jena was not interested however Helena did enjoy being a healer. Her sister met and fell in love with a Mackay warrior named Blair. Now she was expecting her first child and wanted Helena to help with her delivery. So Helena went to the MacKay clan to see the sister she missed dearly.

Unfortunately Helena and the handsome laird who got hurt in battle become close. Their healer can’t even stand the sight of blood and doesn’t seem ready to be a healer. So Helena took over the duties as the MacKay healer trying to train their healer though she admitted this job was not for her. Laird Robin MacKay and Helena Ross fall for each other, she knows it is a mistake and that he must marry for an alliance for his clan. Afterall she is only an orphan of a blacksmith not suitable at all. Except her heart is breaking knowing the truth.

Robin had been advised by the elders since he became laird at such a young age it is his duty to marry and get heirs. He had told him he had not been ready previously. He soon realizes he only wants to marry Helena as that is the woman he loves. The elders are furious saying she is not appropriate and insults her which makes Robin see red! Letting them know he is the boss as the laird, not these old men who advise him!

He soon is forced to make a decision that could ruin his chances to have the woman he loves. As the Gunn woman in the forced alliance is being abused by her evil brother. She also claims her brother will make an alliance with someone who might kill her. She was already in one abusive marriage and threatened to take her own life. So what shall Laird Robin MacKay do? Shall he marry the lass he feels nothing for to save her from harm or marry the healer he loves? Read and find out!

Hutton writes a beautiful emotional story I absolutely loved. This is the first book in The Mackays of Dun Ugadale series which was absolutely brilliant! I look forward to Craig MacKay’s story next in Never Marry a Highlander.

Very Very Good Story!

Except for the editing issues I absolutely loved reading this one. There were some laughs. The characters and storyline were so good. Except for the Gunn’s!! I’m excited to read Craig and Lenora’s story. That ought to have loads of laughs. Helena and Robin were perfect for each other. Now the sisters are back together.
