    About this ebook

    2011 Holt Medallion Award Winner - Best First Novel Highland Blessings is the story of a highland warrior who kidnaps the daughter of his greatest enemy and clan chief to honor a promise he made to his dying father. Bryce MacPhearson, a highland warrior, kidnaps Akira MacKenzie on her wedding day to honor a promise he made to his dying father. While Akira's strength in the Lord becomes a witness to Bryce, she struggles to overcome her anger and resentment when he forces her to wed him, hoping to end a half-century-old feud between their clans. While Akira begins to forgive, and Bryce learns to trust, a series of murders leaves a trail of unanswered questions, confusion, and a legacy of hate that once again rises between their families. Clearly, a traitor is in their midst. Now the one man Akira loves no longer trusts her, and her own life is in danger. Can Bryce look beyond his pain and seek the truth? Will Akira discover the threat against her before it's too late? How will God turn a simple promise into bountiful Highland blessings?

      I felt this story more appropriate for a tween then an adult due to it's lack of any character depth. The characters went from not knowing each other to kind of getting to know each other to having a baby, it's like oh really and when did this happen? By that I mean emotional development because I can live without the graphic sex scenes. I usually skip those 3-5 pages every other chapter. I seriously suspect authors cut and paste those scenarios to pad their page count.

      Historical fiction set in the Scottish Highlands in medieval times.
      Drama, adventure, romance, mystery, murder.. Lots to keep this reader's attention til the wee hours of the morning! a great entry for a first novel from Jennifer Hudson Taylor ~ Well Done Jennifer!
      Reminiscent of Lisa Bergren's Waterfall series.

      You've won me over ~ now , on to book 2, Highland Sanctuary...

      I received this as a freebie for my Nook. Based on the description it was right up my alley. Set in 1473 Scotland, this book has all the typical historical romance plot elements. Kidnapped bride, strong male character, and fighting clans. The other added element was religion. It was a bit too much for my tastes. I tend to read historical romance as an escape/getaway from daily life but his had none of the romantic action that other books in this genre have.
    • 5/5
      This was a great book. I love reading about the middle ages in Scotland. This book had love of God, love of family and lots of action to make it iteresting. I've read it several times and highly recommend it.
    • 5/5
      HIGHLAND BLESSINGS by Jennifer Hudson Taylor is an inspirational historical romance/suspense. It is set in 1473 Scotland. This is this author's debut book and she is an author to watch for in the future. It is well written with depth and details and you can easily tell there has been a great deal of research, also the dialog is in the style of the period.This helps give the story its authenticity. It has faith, betrayal, forgiveness,suspense, adventure, romance, everything Scottish, murder, a pre-arranged marriage between two rival clans, and the coming together of two clans for peace. The hero, Bryce, is strong, determined, handsome, a born leader, tough, keeps promises he makes, has tenacity, faces the turmoil of betrayal, falls in love with the womon he kidnaps( due to a promise made for his dying father),and becomes a powerful, well liked laird which be becomes after the death of his older brother, Evan.The heroine, Akira, is humble, strong, has a strong faith,loyal to her clan, her new clan.She is determined to make her marriage work, even after she had been kidnapped on the day of her wedding to another. She was kidnapped in order to observe the pre-arranged marriage between her and Evan, the Laird of the MacPhearson clan. This is a powerful story of love, trust in your faith and learning to love even during times of angst and turmoil. I would highly recommend this story especially if you enjoy everything Scottish. This is a personal buy by the writer of this review. Details can be found at Abingdon Press and My Book Addiction and More.
