I liked it, I definitely want to see where Lisa Rayne does next with this series, this was a great start. I liked the light humor in this, I loved finally seeing a historical romance with some damn diversity! It's there, it existed, let's write about it! I think the series is set up well, I like that we're going to likely see Ailsa and Kallum again. I do like their relationship and how it developed, and it probably works for that couple (imagining it as a real life couple), but not for me. If we're being honest I didn't think any of their sexy time was explicit, it was fairly PG from what I normally read, and I didn't particularly get the feels from this book. Of course you know this means their chemistry is literal fire so a large part of this book is their brooding and brewing romance until.

(I mean, haven't we all accidentally kidnapped someone?) Both of them are independent, strong willed, but also highly intelligent and absolutely against the idea of marriage. Enter Kallum, a warrior who helps slaves escape, who accidentally kidnaps Ailsa and that's where their story converges. (Trigger, the book does feature abuse, physical and sexual.) I love how everyone is always trying to get back to their clans, such is the case with Ailsa. Setting itself apart from others, Never Cross a Highlander uses actual historical facts of Black history in the United Kingdom way back in the 1700s day. Lisa Rayne has made me decide that my new favorite thing is highlander based romances, so I'll just be picking those up left and right, thanks. But we're coming into The Shadow Lairds series and woo-boy.

I am perpetually finding a series in the middle of it and feel like I don't know what's going on, with who, and where. You know I love a good series, but I love getting into the series for the FIRST one.
