“Highland Crown is steeped in the history of Scotland in the 1820s and lays a solid foundation for the intense romance built on top of it....Where history stops, imagination takes off, and McGoldrick seamlessly blends real history with her invention of connections, people and events. Against the fierce action of capture and escape, Cinaed and Isabella’s story of hope unfolds....Highland Crown is one of the best Regency-era books I have read in recent months, and it is a worthwhile addition to your home library.”
