REVIEW: The Warrior of Clan Kincaid by Lily Blackwood

The Warrior of Clan Kincaid (Highland Warrior #3) by Lily Blackwood: Captured by the enemy! But so far he doesn’t know that Derryth MacClaren is the sister of the wife of Niall Braewick, Highland Laird of Kincaid, whose castle this army plans to capture.

Whew! She was sent out of the castle with an escort to avoid capture by the Wolf, Buchan, evil son of the King of Scotland, an enemy sworn to vengeance against the Kincaids. An enemy warrior claims her and confines her to his tent for her own safety. That does not sit well with Derryth. The mischievious woman plays some tricks on her captor, Cull the Nameless, former slave but now part of the King’s Guard. Soaking his bed will be great payback she thinks. Wrong. She ends up having to share her narrrow pallet with the strong, handsome warrior she is attracted to. Cull tells her she and her party will be let go after the troops are in place for the seige of the castle. He doesn’t want her or anyone in her party to alert the Kincaids even though they profess to not be Kincaid allies.

Will they be let go? What about the attraction between Derryth and Cull? This can’t have a good ending. Or can it?

The Warrior of Clan Kincaid is the third book in author Lily Blackwood’s awesome Highland Warrior series. Each book in this series has been filled with thrilling action, intrigue and sweet loving. This final chapter in the Kincaid’s saga is no exception and I found it to be the best of the three. All of Lily Blackwood’s characters are well-developed and realistic. They practically step off the page and make you feel that you are a part of the story. I loved the strength of character of Derryth MacClaren and the honor of Cull.

See for yourself how exciting it is to step into the Highlands with the Kincaids, discover the joy of finding the youngest Kincaid brother alive and well and enjoy this adventure. I highly recommend it!

LOVE TAKES NO PRISONERS

Derryth MacClaren is on the run. Traveling under heavy guard, she has been sent from her castle home to avoid capture by the vicious nobleman known as the Wolf, who has vowed revenge against the Clan Kincaid, and any who support them. When a surprise attack leaves her vulnerable, Derryth ends up in the hands of an enemy warrior who claims her, with the Wolf’s blessing, as his prize. But her captor’s gentle words and touch seduce her heart—and body—completely…and when she discovers the tattoo on his arm that proves him to be the legendary, long-believed dead son of the murdered Laird of Kincaid, Derryth knows she must find a way to alter his fate—and her own.

Cull has no memory of his family or past—all he knows is the life of a warrior, trained to fight on behalf of the Scottish king. If he can help the king’s law officer of the North, the Wolf of Badenoch, defeat a rebellious faction of Highlanders, Cull will be met with untold riches beyond possessing beautiful, innocent Derryth. But now that she has informed him of who he really is—Cullen Braewick, the youngest son of the slain laird—he is torn. If Cull exacts revenge against the Wolf, who executed his father, he stands to lose the precious lass who he has come to love. What is he willing to sacrifice for Derryth to keep her safe…and in his arms?
