About the Book
Lady Greer was a hellion from the moment she could walk. So,
when the young woman is forbidden by her father, the Earl of Sutherland, to
sail, she steals a boat and rows it out into the firth anyway. But her relaxing
jaunt turns into so much more when a storm ravages the chill waters and the
prospect of death is soon upon her.
The last thing Roderick MacCulloch, Laird of Gleann Mórinnse
Castle, expects to find while out scouting his property is a soaked lass upon
his shores. When she demands he take her back to her clan, he recognizes her as
the mischievous lass who taunted him at a festival when they were children.
Roderick realizes this might be his chance to have a bit of fun and give Lady
Greer a taste of her own medicine
But Roderick’s chance at revenge turns into a merry chase
across the Highlands that leads them both to unexpected passion, perilous
danger…and maybe even love.
Available in ebook, print and audio!

MY THOUGHTS
THE HIGHLANDER’S HELLION by Eliza Knight was such a fun
read. It’s a mix of sweet, saucy and swoony. There’s also some added suspense to
make things even more interesting. I don’t often read books set in the 13th
century, but this book is a reminder that I should.
Greer Sutherland’s exploits land her on a beach owned by
Roderick MacCulloch’s clan with only her dog and an oar from the boat she was on
before rough weather hit. Roderick discovers her and immediately recognises
her; not only did he once contemplate what Greer might be like as a wife but
she also has the distinction of having speared him through the thigh a few
years ago. Yes, it was accidental but he hasn’t forgotten as the injury still
causes him pain.
I loved both Greer
and Roderick. Greer is lively, witty and energetic. She understands the
realities and harshness of the highland way of life but is happy to be indulged
and cared for by her family. As laird of
his clan, Roderick carries a large amount of responsibilities but underneath it
all he is a kind and caring man. He may be called ‘Grim’ but a few run ins with
Greer soon leave him feeling lighter than he thought possible.
As Roderick escorts Greer across the highlands to her home,
it gives them an opportunity to clear the air – apologies for spear wounds, you
know – and to get to know one another. There’s plenty of chemistry and banter
to be had.
The writing was well paced and I appreciated the somewhat artless
nature of the characters – it fit within the time period. This was not a time for
coyness and tentativeness. Roderick was unpretentious and decisive in his
actions as laird, and Greer was open and sincere in communicating her wishes.
THE HIGHLANDER’S HELLION was a wonderful read, and now I need to decide which of the author’s books to read next.

An excerpt from THE HIGHLANDER’S HELLION
Copyright © Eliza Knight 2018
Warmth surrounded Greer, cocooning her in a decadent cloud.
She snuggled closer to the heat, smiling in her sleep.
Something niggled at the back of her brain, as though she
were trying to remember something important. What was it?
And then she bolted upright in bed, recalling exactly what
she was supposed to remember. She’d nearly drowned.
She jerked around to face the wide-eyed gaze of a man—a very
handsome man—but still a man!
“I’m naked,” she gasped, pressing her hands to her breasts
to hide them from where the blanket had fallen.
“Aye.” The voice was gruff, filled with sleep and
grumpiness.
She felt him slip from the bed, unable to make eye contact
with him. Oh dear heavens…
The chamber was completely unfamiliar to her. Not one at her
own castle. Not one at any castle she’d ever been to. The wood floor was bare
of rushes.
Weapons lined the wall, and there was a single wardrobe
beside the chamber door. To the left of the hearth were a small table and two
large chairs. Chairs fit for a giant. Or from the looks of the man she couldn’t
bear to view just yet—chairs fit for him.
The shutters over the window were closed, so she couldn’t
get a good look outside to perhaps judge from the landscape where she was.
Which meant she had to rely on the stranger whose bed she’d been in. Naked.
She wouldn’t have thought last night, as she floated in the
darkened sea, that her situation could get any worse. But it would not be the
first time she’d been wrong.
“Where am I? Who are ye?”
“Ye dinna recognize me?” He sounded surprised.
Greer squeezed her eyes shut. Had she drowned and gone to
Hell?
“Are ye naked, sir?” she squeaked.
“As the day I was born.” Why did he have to sound so
gleeful?
Greer fell back on the bed and pulled the blanket up over
her head, feeling her face heat with shame. She could die now. Right now would
be fine. Somehow, she’d managed to drown herself and had either become a man’s
mistress or married him without her knowledge. Either way, her da was going to
murder her, and her mother would be heartbroken.
“Bring me a sword,” she croaked, her voice coming out
muffled with the thick pile of blankets on her face.
Even still, he seemed to have heard her. “Are ye going to
finish me off then, lass?”
Finish him off? “I canna comprehend what that means right
now, but I do plan to finish myself.”
