✩✩✩
At eighteen, Annie MacGregor thought the worst thing that could happen
to her was a broken heart. But she was wrong. Caught in the crossfire of
warring clans, Annie’s ravaging at the hands of the hated Campbells has
nearly destroyed her. But she is determined to put her life back
together, and that life doesn’t include Niall Lamont, the man who broke
her heart two years before and has now appointed himself her unwanted
avenger and sentinel.
Niall made the biggest mistake of his life when he told Annie that he couldn’t marry her. By the time he realizes his mistake, however, it’s too late. His clan is nearly destroyed by the Campbells for harboring her kinsmen, he is outlawed, and the woman he loves has been brutalized. With time running out, and the king’s men closing in, Niall will do whatever he must to earn Annie’s forgiveness—even if it means teaching the stubborn lass to defend herself. But Annie is a MacGregor, and if there is one thing the persecuted clan knows how to do, it is fight. Forgiveness, however, is another matter, and Niall begins to wonder if some wounds just might be too deep to heal.
Genre: historical romance

Review: I read Highland Crossfire and...I honestly don't know what to think about this book. Monica McCarty is one of my favorite historical romance authors and usually all her books are 5-stars for me. No so much this one. Even being a novella, I had to struggle to finish it.
The beginning of the book was terrible confusing, with a lot of events and names thrown in. I read the previous books a while ago, so it was good to refresh my memory on the background story, but there's just so much information that instead of being put into context I actually felt lost.
The love story between Niall and Annie is obviously sweet and you can't help but root for them - even if one or the other seems terrible silly sometimes. But almost everything else just seems off and nothing like what I'm used to reading from this author.
