"Deeply romantic, scintillating, and absolutely delicious."—SYLVIA DAY, New York Times bestselling author for Highland Hellcat

It's Vixen vs. Highland War Chief. It's anyone's guess who'll win this battle of the heart.

Marcus MacPherson is every inch the fearsome Highlander. He's used to men averting their eyes and women cowering before him. He thinks he'll eventually settle down with a nice, obedient bride. Instead, he gets Helen Grant.

Stubborn as the day is long, fearless and dedicated to raising as much hell as possible, Helen is definitely going to challenge Marcus. And challenge him some more. And then some.

Liked it better than book 1

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017

My goodness, it is a wonder our heroine even remembered her name with all the drama she had to face.

I enjoyed both these character's in book 1 and was even more taken with them in this novel. This could easily be 5 stars except for how many times the author got the name of the book in the story. It was vixen this and vixen that got old quickly. Plus how many times they got married got to be a joke! Not even counting the kidnappings. But, I did enjoy the story line and character's so gave it 4 stars.

There is rape, off page but talked about, not the act itself but wanted readers to be aware .

There is descriptive lovemaking (within marriage) but because I was rooting for this couple to finally come together , it was full of passion for me. The romance certainly built slowly and I enjoyed the banter back and forth.

It was nice to meet up with the characters in book 1 that also brought humor for our H . in this story he got paid back for how he treated his brother and bride in book 1 that had me smiling.

We do get HEA and no cliffhanger -yea. I know when there is a series, u must read the previous book. I am torn with stating that here because there is a small back story of our two main character's in this book that u will benefit in knowing, but the author does touch on it in this book. But, in book 1 you r treated with more of the banter which I enjoyed.

As usually, not repeating the premise just what u will discover reading it. I do recommend this story (ljb)

"Taming a Vixen, and Controlling a Brute"

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2017

I've read many Highlander romance stories by other authors, but none compare to Mary Wine. I am always impressed with her knowledge of the history of that time period. I've been waiting patiently over the years to read another book by Wine. I can only express the excitement I felt when I saw she had this new wedding series.
This book was a little different I think from how Mary Wine usually writes but there were a few sub plots that needed to be told so that the reader could have a full picture and background of the characters, and their relationships or interactions with each other. Granite the main focus was on Helen and Marcus, but there were a lot of people involved in their marriage happening, or not taking place, so the characters connection to the main couple really needed to be told and explained. It was also enjoyed and greatly appreciated when Wine took the time to tie up all the lose ends with other characters such as Katherine, Brenda, Braic and Ailis.
I loved the story and was happy to see Marcus receive a little get back from Braic after all the shenanigans he pulled when Braic and Ailis were courting and married.
Definitely check the book out for yourselves. It's a book you will enjoy and won't want to put it down.

A MUST READ!

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018

This book was an excellent read! However, there are definitely parts of the romance that were very difficult to read. The utterly ruthless and cruel way that the Regent dealt with women left me feeling sickened. Instead of acknowledging that he had been outsmarted and, quite frankly, prevented from making a very bad political move he persisted in an unspeakable act of revenge. Morton truly deserved to pay for his utter lack of humanity... especially toward anyone without power! I deeply appreciated the fact that the heroine was willing to fight in order to be respected. She wasn’t willing to simply roll over and accept other people’s decisions regarding HER life. It was very satisfying when the hero finally seemed to understand why the heroine made the choices she did. Personally, I felt he took far too long to reach this point. This story is definitely worth reading!

I was disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2017

I had read t) first book in the series and was looking forward to hear the brother's, Marcuses, story. Mary Wine introduced us to the hard and forbidden Marcus in the first book and to Helen, the girl he abducted to stop her family from steeling cattle.
If the first book was a funny play between two unwilling partners, the second book introduced us also to the cruelty towards women. Honestly, I don't read a romance book so I can feel upset. I know exactly how cruel men were and are to women, especially sexually. I don't need to read it in a book I bought to relax.
That is my reason for giving the book 2 stars but Mrs Wine's writings is good, the story still had a few good points although certain acts kept repeating (Helen keeps being stolen from he husband).

Decent story. Slow and uneventful for most of it. Marcus is all Highlander and I loved him. It took most of the book to even like Helen.

3 Relaxed Stars - Small Spoiler Alerts

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2019

I haven’t read book one in the series, and whilst it was apparent the two are interconnected, I didn’t feel lost reading this second book, first.

I enjoyed the back and forth between highlander and War Chief for the Macpherson clan, Marcus MacPherson (a man of few words) and feisty highland lass Helen Grant, the sizzle between the two was apparent, even as Helen resisted. I do wish Marcus had been more attentive (even indirectly) to Helen from the start, after all he’s the one who bloody kidnapped her.

The main villain in this is a power hunger despot, who I hope gets his just desserts soon, and if there is any justice it will be at, both, the hands of the women and highlander men he uses like pawns.

Things I had issues with in this book, to varying degrees:

1) Where was the description of the heroine, first I thought my brain had switched off but nope, we never get a real physical description of her (or did I really miss it)?

2) How many times can a person be kidnapped? I thought I was going to get mental whiplash.

3) Why did it feel like the heroine, hero and everyone else forgot about Brenda, who was still at court suffering?! This was one key thing that seriously irked me.

That being said despite the aforementioned issues, I didn’t find myself potently peeved or wanting to rant -why, why? Maybe it’s the mood I was in, I don’t know but this was a nice, easy, one time read through the weekend and start of the week. I think I’ll read book 1 and 3 in the series, but honestly, I’m in no rush. That being said I do enjoy the author’s writing style and the way in which the main characters banter, so I will be going to another book by the author, from a different series sometime in the coming week/weekend.

Triggers: Heroine is hit by one or more of her kidnappers (kidnappers have slightly blurred in my mind). Rape is eluded to/mentioned indirectly (what happens to Brenda at court is rape, as far as I’m concerned as she had no real choice).

I liked Marcus and Helen even more than the main couple of the first book. Their chemistry was just awesome and I was anxious for them to finally be together as a happy family. And I really liked the way Bhaic made fun of them just like his brother did when he got married. It was a really entertaining and heartskipping read - a high recommendation (but the first book of the series should be read, otherwise some passages are not as entertaining as they are ;) )

Marcus McPherson stole Helen Grant from her home because her brothers had been stealing from him. For a year she is treated like a lowly servant in the McPherson castle and abused by the woman that is head of the house. One day she manages to escape and travels to court. But Marcus follows her because he wants her for himself. Unfortunately he becomes entangled in the schemes of the Regent of Scotland and ends up in chains, in the dungeon. Helen and her companion Brenda must free him and a young English girl. So then she is once again on her way to McPherson land, as Marcus' wife, when fate intervenes. Again. And again. And again. It seems this couple can't get a break. Some reviewers said they didn't like Helen, but I applaud her for her courage. She's had a difficult time and only her courage and strength as gotten her through although sometimes she comes across as too outspoken. Of course she didn't get the name of Vixen by being a submissive little woman. A really good read.
