His Bonnie Bride by Hannah Howell

When Storm Eldon is kidnapped by her family's ancestral enemies, she knows there are rules to be honored by both sides. If her stepmother agrees to the ransom demanded, Storm will not be harmed by Tavis MacLagan, the handsome Highland warrior who holds her captive. But as days of waiting turn into weeks, it begins to be clear that in this contest of wills, no one is fighting fair. Tavis's hands-off policy has changed into an all-out siege of the senses, and Storm realizes she is less interested in guarding her virtue than becoming...HIS BONNIE BRIDE.

This was a re-read for me.

Hannah Howell is probably my absolute most favorite historical romance author. Her stories are fun, fresh and filled with humor. I love the way she writes. I love her heroines. I love her heroes. She's awesome.

His Bonnie Bride is a re-release of one of her older novels, Amber Flame.

Storm Eldon is sassy, courageous and tough. She doesn't take shit from anyone and I love that. She's a lady when she needs to be, a tomboy when it's called for, and she can hold her own with the heir of a Scottish clan.

Tavis MacLagen, though a little dense about his feelings towards women, is sinfully sexy, a warrior and amazing in the sack. Need I say more?

Though I could have done without some of the more raunchy scene involving Storm's evil Step-Mother, I still highly recommend this one.

It's another must read.
