Book Description:

Griffin Lockhart holds the key to his family's fate. Since his brother Liam failed to reclaim the priceless heirloom that could save their ancestral Scottish estate, it's now up to Grif to find it -- among the lords and ladies of fashionable London society.

Disguised as a Scottish earl, Grif attends the most glittering balls, hunting for the woman who is rumored to possess his family's treasure. Along the way he catches the eye of Anna Addison, a highborn young woman whose sharp tongue and even sharper wits have limited her marital prospects but enable her to detect Grif's deception. Determined to find a husband this Season, Anna draws Grif into a scandalous bargain: She will deliver his precious heirloom -- and keep secret his true identity -- if Grif can teach her how to seduce a man and win his heart. Well aware of what a man wants from a woman, Grif reluctantly instructs her. Soon Anna is besieged by suitors and Grif's exasperation with the troublesome beauty turns into heated desire. With time running out, Grif commits a reckless act in order to claim not only his treasure, but the passionate woman he believes is his and his alone.

Here is how I rated this trilogy:

"Highlander Unbound" (Book 1) 3*

- Two reasons: One, I didn’t like Ellie’s constant betrayal of Liam. Especially after having Liams declaration and words of love that he would do *anything* for her. Ellie just didn’t have the depth of character that Mared and Anna did in books 2 & 3.

- And two, while I enjoyed Liam in general, I thought he came across as a little to much“the bigger they are the harder (or dumber) they fall” type guy especially when he continued to let Ellie dupe him.

"Highlander In Disguise" (Book 2) 5* Grif and Anna’s story had just the right amount of everything! My favorite of the 3 books! =)

"Highlander In Love" (Book 3) 4 1/2* Payton and Mared’s story was very well done also. And while it was predictable, I was still in there rooting for them and teary eyed in places.

All in all a very enjoyable trio! And of course the covers are yummy! =)

I wish I had known this was a second in a series before I started reading it. Aside from that, this book was quite enjoyable. One reason I like this book is because Anna reminded me so much of myself. Grif was also a great character. A charmer who's not a skeeze. A man who's not afraid to have feelings. Gotta love it.

The side characters add dimensions that make the book even more complete.

Well rounded and well written, this is one author I will read again.
