Our hero Bowen Montgomery doesn’t ride into town on his big steed and immediately bring Genevieve back to life. This isn’t sexual slavery in a Shades of Grey kind of way, and Genevieve’s situation isn’t minimized or too easily wiped away. What I liked about this book was Banks’ handling of this situation. The laird’s son, Ian McHugh, keeps Genevieve as his slave, forcing her into a life of destitution and humiliation.
This novel tells the story of Genevieve McInnis, a woman who was kidnapped from her clan and imprisoned for a year by the McHugh clan. In fact its storyline is decidedly less trashy than most romances. Highlander Most Wanted is the second novel in the Montgomery and Armstrong series. Maya Banks’ novels look deliciously trashy and she’s very popular on Amazon, so I was happy to receive a copy of her newest book through NetGalley, even though it means coming in mid-series. But really, who doesn’t want to read about broad-chested, kilted Highlanders as they battle feuding clans and sweep Scottish lasses off their delicate feet? If I’m going to read a romance novel, what better than a good Scottish Highlander romance? That seems to be the big thing right now – blame Diana Gabaldon, maybe, or Felicia Day. Every once in a while, I get a craving for a romance novel (this is me trying not to be defensive about what I read).
