      Wine delivers a steamy fourth installment of her historical Highlander sheet-sizzlers (Highland Heat). In this bodice-busting take on 15th-century arranged-marriage customs in the wilds of northernmost Scotland, Wine opens with a suggestive relationship interruptus. Spunky Daphne MacLeod went willingly to the luxurious bed of powerful Norris Sutherland, heir to the pre-eminent earldom of Sutherland, to make herself a “fallen woman” and escape marriage to a man who loved someone else. Three months later, despite—or because of—staying in a rigidly run convent, Daphne can’t get Norris out of her disturbingly libidinous dreams. Norris is suffering, too; since that rapturous encounter, he’s lost interest in the bevy of serving maids ready to satisfy his every need. Though Wine’s predictable plot provides only the flimsiest of excuses to delay a climactic Highland marriage, her expertise at vicarious titillation allows the lovers plenty of opportunity to exercise feverish imaginations.

      In fifteenth-century Scotland, Highland rulers cannot marry for love. In Wine's sequel to The Highlander's Prize (2012), heiress Daphne MacLeod and earldom heir Norris Sutherland understand this. Previously, Norris bedded Daphne as a favor when her fiance wanted to marry another. The one-time deed shouldn't have affected them, but although they burn with the memory, neither can act on their attraction. After Daphne's clan has been attacked and left starving, she sees it as her duty to lead until her brother can take over. Norris' father wants his son to make a politically advantageous marriage, bringing numerous potential brides for him to inspect. When Daphne is captured by a rival clan and Norris rescues her, she becomes a distraction as well as a rival for one determined bridal candidate. How can Norris persuade his father and their people that Daphne is the right woman for him? Wine's crisp writing, intricate plot, and deep insights into clan politics make this a fun and satisfying read, even for those who aren't Highlander fans.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
