5.0 out of 5 stars A standard romance novel but very enjoyable

Rescued by a Highlander by Keira Montclair is the first book in the Clan Grant series. A romance story set in the Highlands of Scotland in the 1200s. Madeline “Maddie” MacDonald is at the mercy of her cruel stepbrother, Kenneth. He is forcing her to marry his friend and ally, Niles Comming. Comming is an equally cruel man and Maddie knows she would not survive married to him. One day, Laird Alexander “Alex” Grant visits the castle and it is the time to set her free. Maddie’s faithful servants, Mac and Alice, pleads with Alex to rescue her from the clutches of these evil men. Alex isn’t sure why, but he is drawn to Maddie and feels the need to rescue her especially after witnessing the treatment she receives at the hands of her stepbrother. When he brings her back to his keep, he’s still drawn to her but doesn’t understand why she pushes him away. Will Maddie be able to tell Alex the truth? Will she open herself to someone who truly loves her? Can he keep from safe from her evil stepbrother?
Rescued by a Highlander is a typical romance novel with the hero recusing the damsel in distress who discovers she is stronger than he thought. However, it was extremely enjoyable. I held my breath at the cruelty Maddie experienced. I cheered when Alex rescues her. I laughed at the banter between Alex and his siblings. And my heart melted as the two fell in love. I enjoyed every word of this book and even though it was a fast read, I look forward to future books in this series. If you are a fan of romance novels, I highly recommend Rescued by a Highlander.

4.0 out of 5 stars review of rescued by a highlander
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2014

I have a few books from Ms. Keira Montclair and am slowly getting around to reading them. I really do like the way Ms. Montclair writes and since I also enjoy reading highland romances I just couldn’t resist since I just like the idea of highlanders and beautiful maidens. The story is full of action, wonderful side characters, secret beatings, yelling and love.
The story starts off with the beautiful tenacious strong willed heroine Madeline getting savagely beaten within an inch of her life by her stepbrother Kenneth who is upset that Madeline won’t marry a neighboring laird and the guy of his choosing. Unexpectedly the handsome, strong, bellowing larger than life hero Alexander or Alex makes a visit to Kenneth attempting to find thieves stealing off his land and calls on him to figure out this problem, Kenneth is also a neighboring laird of Alex’s too. Alexander sees the filthy state of Kenneth’s keep but decides to stay one night and finds a distressing situation of Madeline getting beaten so decides to rescue her from Kenneth’s cruelty.
I adored the fact that Alexander rescues Madeline from her repeated beatings but throughout reading the past history of Madeline’s physical abuse I kept wondering why Kenneth is beating her repeatedly. Sometimes it seemed unnecessary and how could someone a woman no less handle such abuse without even a grimace, crying out or whimper of protest? Plus when Madeline gets branded without even a batting of the eye I just kept thinking the woman has super powers to get abused like this and can stand pretty much anything physically. Even animals when they are branded if you don’t tie them up will still howl with the branding. Madeline is very strong in that regard but emotionally why did she deal with Alex’s constant blustering? The guy always seemed to be yelling one way or another at everyone his family, his staff and Madeline that I seriously think why even keep reading all he seems to do is bellow at everyone? Maybe he needs to get some sexual release by jumping into an icy loch or playing with himself. Even after they get married the paranormal aspect of Madeline’s dead mother showing up on their wedding night kind of freaked me out like for some reason it’s okay to witness dead people watching them having sex is pretty normal and for some reason Madeline was okay with it so maybe it was my problem then.
I was really surprised to find out the plot twist of Kenneth being in love with Niles too okay I can deal with that so he loves the guy is beating Madeline for compensation what I figured. Okay if you love the guy so much why not just take him then? So Madeline ruined your life its okay to have some big homosexual love affair with the guy? There is nothing wrong with that and I myself would not be opposed to reading about it either. I assumed maybe Kenneth was embarrassed with the idea of being intimate with another guy plus the guy he had feelings for was obviously bisexual and Kenneth couldn’t deal with that to some degree. Yes he wanted Madeline and his lover Niles to be together but maybe because he was really into that. I think that should have been explained somewhere in the book to both Niles “hey look I love you man I would like you to stop having sex with so many women because I want us to be together just you and me man not you boning all the women around well except for Madeline you could just have sex with her and we could get finally get it on let’s make love because I think I could make this relationship work.” Also telling Madeline “hey look I was having a deep sexual relationship with Niles that is why I was beating you but also since I wanted you and Niles to be together it could just be us three sharing a bed okay? Since you killed him I can’t live without him who am I supposed to have sex with now while Niles is having sex with you?” than at least I would have felt better about him beating the ever living daylights out of the heroine. I felt this aspect of the homosexual relationship between Kenneth and Niles then add the weird aspect of Madeline being thrown into the mix was never discussed when it should have been so this kind of left me hanging I felt. Why did I keep reading because of Ms. Montclair’s other characters Brodie, Robbie and Brenna who I just instantly loved and their relationship to each other. I liked the silly little squabbling they had and how close they were to each other. How they would pick on Alexander a few times making me laugh at their antics but still showing him their support throughout the book. At times I wanted Brodie and Madeline to end up together because he did not yell, had affection for Madeline and seemed like such a sweet guy. Also Ms. Montclair is able to not only develop her hero and heroine but her side characters are amazingly fully developed. So that is why I rated the book four stars and will read more from Ms. Montclair.

Laird Alex Grant is requested in a missive to save Lady Madeline (Maddie) from her stepbrother, Kenneth. Kenneth has been physically and mentally abusing Maddie for some time. When Alex and his brother Brodie rescue Maddie, she is being whipped by Kenneth. Alex and Brodie take her away to Grant lands to heal.

During her time with the Grant clan, Maddie and Alex form an affection for each other. The abuse she experienced keeps them apart. Alex is patient and gentle with Maddie, helping her heal and trust him. Will they have a relationship in the true sense? Will Kenneth disappear or seek revenge?

This book did well the first two-thirds of the story. It moved along at a good pace and kept my attention. The last third felt like the author was trying to tie up too many loose ends. I appreciate her doing that. I just wish the ending wasn't so crowded. The main characters were well developed. The secondary characters were well drawn also. It felt like one happy family. The villains in the story helped advance the plot. The plot held tension because we didn't know if the last villain was dead or alive. There are steamy love scenes.

Wonderful first book in the clan Grant series. Alex was a brilliant hero - strong, kind, loving, loyal and a great leader of his clan. Maddie was treated so badly by her step brother, it was almost unbelievable. Glad that eventually Maddie was able to get passed her abuse enough to fall in love and allow Alex to show his love and care for her. Have read all the books in the series but this is my favourite.

Five Amazing Stairs

I was absolutely thrilled to read book one, Clan Grant. Written by Keira Montclair. I completely enjoyed this marvellous romantic story when the Laird Alexander Grant resumes Madison from such a horrific life she has already lived.

During Scotland, in the thirteenth century Madeline McDonald who had been atrociously bashed and terrorised . She was attacked by her stepbrother, Kenneth. He took pleasure doing this to her. Telling her that she will be married to Nile Comming. Poor Madeline was being into wedlock. Madeline knew she could never marry this man. But that could never stop Kenneth from hurting her too.

When finally the Laird Alexander Grant had arrived at Madeline’s home. He was absolutely disgusted by the filth laying around. Kenneth was just such a complete pig to Madeline. Alexander knew he had to make the great resolution.

When Laird Alexander Grant stepped inside seeing Madeline sound asleep, looking over her beautiful most face he felt quickly aroused. Madeline had collapsed. She had been severely and was bruised all over. Waking up she was confused. The Laird knew he had to do something about this!!

I simply adored this marvellous romantic tale. Written so beautifully too. I completely loved all of these most wonderful characters. Simply such an endearing tale. I loved it!!

* I recommend this book to everyone!!
