I am on a bit of a historical, and and particular a Highlander binge at the moment, so as soon as The Prodigal Laird crossed my emails, I went and downloaded it right away.

This is my first Vanda Vadas story, and was pleasantly surprised to find out she was a fellow Australian.

I liked the detail that the author has gone into regarding Culloden, the Jacobite uprising and the aftermath of both.

Roderick MacLeod is one of those characters that could fall into the I love him or the I hate him crowd at times. I for one loved this surly man. I could understand his anger, his hurt, his reluctance to do what everyone expects him to.

And I adored Annabell and her willful attitude. You just know that she is going to rock all of Roderick's beliefs and expectation.

The story did drag a little bit in the middle, however I was fully involved in this story so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. And then when things took off again, wowsers!

This was my first Vanda Vadas story, and it won't be my last. Now I am off to find some more Highlanders to devour.
