Coffee Time Romance Review gives Desiring The Highlander a 5 cup (five out of five) rating.
“I loved Desiring the Highlander. The historical information used is amazing and made the book worth reading all by itself. ... recommend this book to anyone who would love to meet two wonderful characters and the amazing cast of support characters.”
Genre Go Round Review from Harriet Klausner:
“The story line is fast-paced from the first insult tossed by Cole at Ainsley and then the 'parcel'; however, the 'parcel' bites back.
Fans will enjoy the third of seven brothers keeling in matrimony finding seven brides (see To Wed a Highlander and The Highlander's Bride) as Michelle [stet] Sinclair provides an intelligent medieval Scottish romance.”
The Romance Readers Connection reviewer, Jan Neal gives Desiring The Highlander a 4 1/2 rating. She states, “This is an absolutely fabulous historical novel! It is an intriguing combination of humor, intense passion, excellent character development, and wonderful secondary characters. I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoyed this book! You can bet I plan to get the first two books in the series and we can look forward to four more books as the author tells us each brother's story.”

Book Junkie's Review from Brundie, another Five out of Five Star rating:
“Sinclair takes us on a very sensual romp back to the 14th Century Scottish Highlands with the 3rd installment of her McTiernay brothers, Cole. ...
Through the pages of beautiful imagery, it is evident that Sinclair has done her research of not only historical facts but of the life of the Scottish people creating characters with an abundance of depth and personality that captures the reader and transports them back into the 14th Century. A trip I was hard-pressed to end as I read the last words of this beautiful and intriguing story of two lovers who never should have been, two hearts that wouldn't give in to circumstance or hate, who found each other through fate, who's love is undying.”

For a taste of the third book in the Highlander Series, read the excerpt from Desiring The Highlander. The famed Laurel and Conor characters are back, so if you have not read The Highlander's Bride - check out the excerpt and then go and order the first book in the series along with the second book, To Wed a Highlander (read an excerpt.
And ... as for the third book, you can order Desiring The Highlander. And, by the way, it's my favorite so far of the series. Ellenor is like a spicy, sarcastic Laurel.
