Highlander Most Wanted is the follow up to Never Seduce a Scot as this was just as enjoyable, if not quite a bit darker. The novel ties in nicely with Never Seduce a Scot and therefore I'd recommend reading that one before Highlander Most Wanted, especially because it would contain spoilers for the previous book.

*Mild spoilers for Never Seduce a Scot.

Highlander Most Wanted follows the story of Bowen and Genevieve, who was Ian McHugh's captured and abused captive until his most recent demise. Genevieve is not a broken women, but she's a woman with a troubled past and hated by the members of the McHugh clan. When the Montgomerys and Armstrongs arrive and liberate the castle, it is Bowen Montgomery that she ends up being drawn to.

I have to say I admired the strength and resilience that Genevieve had after everything she had endured at the hands of Ian McHugh. I thought she was a very strong female character, who stood up for what was right, but was also very smart. Her love interest Bowen was also a pretty good character as he always had the best interests of Genevieve in his mind, and was not dissuaded by the fact she was a strong woman. However, I just didn't love him or their romance as much as the one between Graeme and Eveline in Never Seduce a Scot. I thought it was a little bit more hurried and unrealistic in places given everything Genevieve had been through for her suddenly to become enraptured with her saviour.

Again, I would have loved to have more depth and knowledge about the factions surrounding the different clans, especially as this one drew in the McInnis clan and the McHugh clans to greater degrees. I felt like we didn't really know a lot about how all the clans and the clan hierarchies in Scotland worked. Especially when Banks alluded to various factions/treaties/the king etc, I felt like she could have developed these points to develop the historical setting more.

Overall though I enjoyed Highlander Most Wanted a lot and will look forward to the third instalment in the series that comes out next year. I'm intending to binge a few more Highlander historical-romance books including Maya Banks' other series the McCabe Trilogy, so we'll see how these books compare.
