The Making of a Highlander by Elisa Braden
3.0

Fiery Scottish lass who everyone calls "Mad Annie" helps turn an Englishman into a Highlander in exchange for "Lady Lessons."

Excellent banter between the heroine and hero - I could have read endless pages with them together. I also enjoyed both of their families, especially Annie's stepfather and John Huxley's copious amounts of sisters.

I could have used so much more Highlander lessons and less lady lessons, but whew it was fiery between these two.

The prose is very purple and descriptively flowery, cornflower blue eyes enough for y'all? And the Scottish accents were a little tough to get into at first but after I sunk in I thoroughly enjoyed.

A late in the game CW: sexual assault felt a bit out of place for the story, and the laddie ghost was a bit weird, but overall I enjoyed my first Elisa Braden.

CW: sexual assault, wound tending, injuries, violence (mostly off page, ableist language (Mad Annie)
