Summary: VERY well done indeed...
Comment: The beastie was admittedly hideous, but nonetheless, priceless. The gold and ruby statue was valuable enough to save Liam's family home, if he could recover it. The mission was important enough to impel the Scotsman out of the Highlands to noisy, ugly London. He finds a room in a disagreeable Englishman's home, never expecting what will happen next.
Liam runs across a little girl with a vivid imagination who introduces him to her mother, Ellen Farnsworth. She steals his heart instantly, but he is sure she is unavailable. Finding that she is not married is almost as great a treasure as the beastie, until Liam learns that Ellen is an even more skillful thief than he thought. She took his heart, the beastie, and as a last indignity, his kilt. He sets off for home, determined to find her and reclaim a bit of his own. Will even her good reasons be sufficient to calm his temper and excuse her betrayal?
*** Julia London reveals her grasp of the complexity of love as she intertwines characters lives and multifaceted motivations. Family ties are contrasted, both good and bad. One moment the story is light hearted, and with the turn of a page, cutting truth is sharply revealed. Readers will be left on the edge of their seat at the cliff hanger ending. ***

Summary: Regency Romance -Highly recommended
Comment: A family legend passed down through the centuries transforms a token of love into a curse. Just before her execution for infidelity, Anice of Lockhart arranged to have an emerald hid in the belly of a small, ugly carving. Now rumor holds that no Lockhart woman will find love without facing the Devil. Knowledge of the jewel died, leaving only rumor of fortune. In 1816, Navy Navy Captain Liam Lockhart sets out to recover the beastie from the English Lockharts, hoping to save his Scottish family from loosing their home and property.
Liam's careful plans eventually lead him to the English Lockharts. But while in London he rents a room where he meets nine-year-old Natalie, who expertly slips into his room for frequent visits despite his protestations. Eventually their acquaintance leads him to her mother Ellen. Liam falls in love with Ellen, but her desperation to provide a new life for her daughter leads to drastic measures when she steals the beatie herself. Liam vows to follow Ellen and to retrieve the beastie for his family as well as to avenge his honor.
Author Julia Lodon pens a riveting frolic in HIGHLANDER UNBOUND. A delightful plot will hold the reader enthralled as Liam disposes of mice and picks roses in Hyde Park. On the one hand he is incredibly charming and on the other hand his brashness provides wonderful entertainment. Ellen's desperation will strike a cord with those sympathetic to her plight. Certainly Liam and Ellen find themselves at seemingly irreconcilable crossroads, resulting in a marvelously told tale. Natalie proves a bit too precocious to be plausible at times; nonetheless, she still adds a wonderful humorous element. HIGHLANDER UNBOUND comes highly recommended.

Summary: Julia London rocks!
Comment: One of my favorite authors, Julia London delivers once again with this fast paced, highly enjoyable read. Liam is a hero to die for-- as evidenced by the HOT cover but also in the way he pursues, and falls for, Ellen. Great chemistry between the lead characters and witty dialogue mark Highlander Unbound as a must buy romance. Great title, too.
