(I understand I make errors all the time but you would think the publishing company would catch these mistakes.)

Lastly, there were grammatical errors and wrong names put in lieu of another person. The story line was just blah to me and didn't captivate me like many other highlander books I had read recently. (I don't believe it needs to be repeated EVERY chapter.) My next issue was the romance built really fast, the attraction was fast which I understand but their was no courtship just fast sex with then pulling their clothes on immediately. Yes, we know Maldie feels guilty for not telling Balfour she was sired by Beaton and that Balfour feels guilty for being suspicious of his lover. The first problem I had with this book is that it was VERY repetitive. A passionate love affair begins between Maldie and Balfour which is based on Maldie's deception and Balfour suspicions. But when he meets Maldie he is captivated by her beauty and her nurturing ways that he questions his plans for battle because he becomes suspicious as to why she mysteriously appears and is instantly ready to help his brother and his clan. So when Balfours younger brother, Eric is kidnapped by Beaton he sets out for battle. So when Maldie's mother died she sets off to kill her father, however, when she finds out it is not easy to kill the Laird, Maldie turns to her fathers enemy, Balfour.īalfour has been feuding with the Beatons for the last 13 years. She raised Maldie to see the same hatred she had for Maldie's father, told Maldie the secrets to sex as a young child and was basically an acquaintance to Maldie than a mother. Her mother, the local whore had some serious mental issues when raising Maldie.

Maldie is on a mission to fulfill her mothers dying wish, she must find her father and kill him. Once in awhile you run into a book which drags and drags and DRAGS! I was really disappointed in this book especially with the high rating Highland Destiny received.
