Book Description:
It is said that Braden MacAllister, English baron and proud Highlander warrior, can fell an enemy with a single blow -- and a woman with a single kiss. But not Maggie, it seems. For the fire-haired beauty, determined to end the long running feud that rages between their clan and it's common foe, is immune to Branden's attempts to stop her foolishness. But stop her he will, once he gets the meddling minx alone... and favors her with a passionate caress and an irresistible kiss. No matter how she trembles beneath Braden's sensuous touch, Maggie must not yield! As long as this feud continues, the lives of her brothers are at stake. And though Braden is known to have bedded many a lass, he has given his heart to none. But dare she dream that by assuring peace for her clan she may also be claiming the most magnificient Highlander for herself?

This book is actually the first in the MacAllisters series. I read it out of order by reading Lochlan's first and became interested in his brother's life and love. So I found Sin's story first and fell in love with him so after that I was hooked. Thanks to the website I got all the books and started reading as soon as they landed in my mailbox. Well needless to say Braden was last and I have to say I am disappointed in this story. Ewan, Lochlan, and Sin were interesting with problems that made you care about them but Braden was just shallow. I had a feeling that after reading the other brother's story I wouldn't really like his and I was right.

This character loves women and I am expected to believe that the things falling out of his mouth towards Maggie is believable? They seem just as superficial as his character. I didn't buy this insta-attraction he had for Maggie. Then there is Maggie. She just got on my nerves. Her push and pull was annoying. She chastised him for seducing woman but fell into his arms without hesitation. Ugh! Just admit you want to bed the man and stop being an idiot.

I couldn't finish the book because the H/H were just unlikable. Sin was the only bright spot but even he couldn't save this stinker of a story. Oh well at least the other brothers had good stories. 3 out of 4 isn't bad.

Kinley does a wonderful job of bringing the two lovers together. Maggie has loved Braden all her life and wonders why he's never paid her any attention. Well, the story will prove he finally does and love blossoms. A good story by a great writer.

Kinley MacGregor is a fantastic author and one of my favorites. Her Highlanders are delicious and spectacular.

Braden is the youngest of the MacAllister brothers, but his story comes first (technically, "Master of Desire" is the 1st MacAllister series book, but you won't miss a thing if you skip it). Braden and Maggie have a simple story -- the young boy who returns home as a man and finds himself face to face with the woman he has all but ignored all his life suddenly turning his head . . . But the true pearl in this story is Maggie.

Maggie is a strong woman, and her desire to stop the feud her clan has fought for five years is believable and noble, and the method she uses is perfect. Kinley MacGregor really thought out the backstory -- not simply using it to propel the lead characters into the sack.

Although the storyline is simple, she develops Braden and Maggie well. Don't let the first 5 pages fool you -- you will come to love Braden and CHEER for Maggie.

Move on to the next book, Born in Sin, which is my favorite MacAllister Novel, although this one rates a close second.

Master of Desire is 1 billion times better than Claiming the Highlander...but that is just my humble opinion...maybe you will disagree with me 1 billion % :)
