If you read this series, novel and author, you won’t be disappointed at all and it doesn’t end with this novel but continues onto a new series! Happy Reading!

DARKEST HIGHLANDER by Donna Grant is an exciting historical paranormal romance set in Scotland. This is the sixth book in the “Dark Sword” series and brings it a its conclusion,but can br read as a stand alone. See “DANGEROUS HIGHLANDER,FORBIDDEN HIGHLANDER,WICKED HIGHLANDER,UNTAMED HIGHLANDER,SHADOW HIGHLANDER”.This is Sonya and Broc’s story. Broc is a Scottish highland warrior with Poraxus,the God of manipulation unbound within him,who believes he has a curse and anyone he is close to will die. Sonya,a Druidess with the magic of healing,who believes she has now lost her healing magic. Sonya,fleeing the safety of the MacLeod Castle,which sends Broc on a mission to locate and protect,even if it costs him his life. Together, Sonya and Broc face their worst enemy,the evil Deirdre,while they fight their attraction to each other. Broc has been attracted to Sonya since she was a small child and he saved her and her sister,who is now dead. They are on a mission to find an artifact Deirdre needs to accomplish her desire to bring darkness and evil to the world. “Darkness Highlander” brings the “Dark Swords” series to a conclusion which brings in a new series,” Dark Warriors” into the light. As, four of the Dark Warriors are thrown four centuries into the future following one of their own,and a traitor who has been forced to Deirdre’s cause. What a delightful way to close out one series and begin another,while there is a few questions left unanswered from the “Dark Swords”series,I do hope we will see more from the “Dark Swords” warriors along the way with the new “Dark Warriors”series. Donna Grant has written another story full of passion,sweet sensuality,Scottish warriors,adventure,danger,romance and of course love. I LOVE,LOVE this Scottish paranormal series and looked forward to hearing from the rest of the warriors in the future. A must read! Received for an honest review from the publisher.

Just finished reading Darkest Highlander. Broc and Sonia’s story and the last of the Dark Sword series.

I was so excited to finally read about Broc. When we first met Broc we find out he’s been with Deirdre for centuries, but as a spy. What kept him from losing all control was keeping Sonia in his heart.

This story starts off at the end of the last one, Shadow Highlander. Sonia runs away thinking that not only has she lost her magic, but also Broc blames her for not saving her sister.

I really enjoyed this story. So much happened in this installment.

Sonia is such a great match for Broc. When Deirdre recaptures Broc, most women would have gone back to the MacLeods for help. Sonia instead takes a chance and decides to go after Broc herself. Although just a Druid, whose magic has temporarily disappeared, Sonia is a very strong lead character. She uses her wit and thinks up a plan on rescuing Broc.

This story was very fast paced and as usual I loved the romance in this. I also loved the battle scenes. The one thing I would have liked, is to see more of the rest of the Warriors. In the past books in this series, all the Warriors and Druids were a prevalent part of the story. But unfortunately we only got to see them a few times.

Additionally, I would have loved to understand more about Broc’s curse. There didn’t seem to be enough about it. How or even if it would have affected Sonia, etc.

The end was a great lead into the Dark Warrior series. Awesome teasers and a few shocking scenes.

Definitely got me excited to read this next series.

Settle yourself into a comfy chair, because it will be a long while until you get up. From the first page to the last, this book keeps you immersed into the world of the Warriors & Druids. And with the big cliffhanger at the end, you just know the next book is going to be just as awesome. And I cant wait to start it.

i love this author, i just spent the last few day reading these book from the very beginning. talk about sizzling. there’s usually danger they have to overcome, which never gets old as the story is action packed and the dialogue is quick witted. looking forward to the next in the series love love love donna grant
