The conflict in the story came from some sinister issues arising from Liam’s past and, of course, the big secret Mena was harboring about her true identity. For once, a romance that didn’t feel forced or take too long to materialize…all natural. Their developing relationship was so natural as this kind of passion had nowhere to go but down a romantic path. He doesn’t suffer fools and was brought to heel by Mena who, despite her terror of him, took him on toe to toe. He’s neither good or evil, just an extremely flawed man with great intentions and leadership skills. I didn’t know what to expect when Liam was mentioned in the earlier books and was unprepared for the force that is the Laird Mackenzie! I loved everything about him, including his jealous, irrational nature and quick temper. It’s a sometimes battle of wills and always an interesting challenge of wits when these two interact. Liam has earned that moniker as he’s imposing and fierce but gets completely dismantled by the unassuming yet courageous Mena Lockhart. She’s disguised as a governess and sent to care for the children of the widowed Liam Mackenzie, renowned as The Demon Highlander. Just as things were beginning to get even bleaker, she’s rescued by her benefactor who then helps to hide her. He had her declared insane and institutionalized in an asylum. Vincent was punished by her husband for her role in exposing his sister and brother-in-law in the last book.
