Good Story and Characters
Lana and the Laird (Untamed Highlanders) - Sabrina York

Lachlan Sinclair and and his entire family for generations is cursed. Each male dies by their 30th birthday. He’s been slowly going crazy as his father’s ghost has been haunting him, pushing him to find a mythical treasure before his death. The one thing he didn’t plan on in his final quest is Lana Dounreay.
This was a really good book. I really liked Lana in particular. I felt really bad for the way she was treated in the beginning, but she really shone when she came upon Lachlan’s dilemma. I liked Lachlan but he was a bit trusting of the wrong people. I’m not really sure why it actually took me some time to read the book. It was just one I had to take some breaks from. I highly recommend it though.

Lana and the Laird (Untamed Highlanders #3) by Sabrina York
Lana and the Laird (Untamed Highlanders) - Sabrina York

Release date: May 31, 2016

 

This is the 3rd book in the Highlander series but can definitely be read as a standalone. In true Sabrina York’s fashion, this story has plenty of suspense, drama, and romance to keep any historical romance lover happy.


Lachlan thinks he’s cursed and he will not live to see his next birthday. At this point in his life his only goals are to either break the so-called curse or quiet the ghosts that haunt his castle by making repairs to it and for that he needs lots of funds.
Enter Lana and family. What Lachlan asks of them would not only leave many of their tenants destitute but will also make Lachlan’s Lords rise up against him. Lana makes it her mission to make him see the error of his ways, and that includes denying his Highlander nature.

Lana, although independent and strong-minded, seemed to be a very sweet girl and was able to peel Lachlan’s layers effortlessly making his transition from a stiff English duke to a rugged Highlander seamless. I appreciated very much that their initial connection went beyond the physical attraction and their belief of the supernatural. Their special connection is what allowed them to become friends before they decided to become something more.

 

Other characters from the previous books made an appearance here so it was kind of a big reunion. The sisters are all together with their respective partners but I have to say that although I love a determined, tenacious heroine, the other two sometimes bordered on heedless and reckless and I didn’t feel much love for them here.

 

The suspense and gothic elements created a good mix but the story also included plenty of light and laugh out loud moments that balanced everything out. All in all an enjoyable read and I’d recommend it to lovers of highlanders, strong heroines, and romance stories with a smidgen of gothic elements.

Lana and the Laird (Untamed Highlanders)
Lana and the Laird (Untamed Highlanders) - Sabrina York What appeals to me about Lana and the Laird is that Lana is not a damsel in distress. She isn't in need of rescue but ultimately proved to be the saving grace for Lachlan. I received an ARC of Lana and the Laird in exchange for an honest review. Hard to believe that Sabrina York is a fairly new author to me. In such a short time I have become enamored of her hypnotic stories. With a smidge of mystical, Ms. York has spun her web of sultriness and gained a fan in me.

The Lonely Laird
Lana and the Laird (Untamed Highlanders) - Sabrina York

This was so good! I loved Lachlan. He was so vulnerable and lonely. Lana was perfect for him. Her sweet confidence comforted his lonely soul. Definitely my favorite of the series.

Overall rating: 4.5/5.0 stars.

Lana and the Laird
Lana and the Laird (Untamed Highlanders) - Sabrina York

So either I was too distracted by the fact that there is a hunky Scottish guy in the book while I was reading the description or there was something pretty big left out of it. I did not know that there would be a big paranormal chunk to this book and that really threw me off as that is not what I was expecting from this book. It didn't ruin the book for me but just threw me for a loop. 

 

I came in to reading this book not having read any of the previous books of the series and I felt like I was able to follow along pretty well. Clearly some of the supporting characters had previously been featured in the other books but I still felt like they were introduced nicely in this book. I spent most of this book more interested in the supporting characters than the main ones so I would be a little curious to go back and read the previous books of the series.

 

I didn't altogether like either Lachlan or Lana. I felt like Lachlan was pretty blind and stupid throughout the whole book because it was pretty obvious what was going on. Lana was a tad annoying to me at times but out of the two I liked her more than Lachlan. 

 

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the galley.
