Historical Romance Lover: Highland Hunger by Eliza Knight

Highland Hunger by Eliza Knight This is book one in the Highland Wars series.

Ceana's brother, the chief of her clan has just been murdered and she must step up and take his place as laird. To save her clan, she must join in the war games. She must make it to the end and be named princess in order to have the money and the power to save her people.

Macrath, the bastard son of an earl, has been sent to the games at the whim of his step-mother who has been trying to get rid of him since he was born. Knowing the he must win to thwart her plans, he never thought to find a woman that might make him forget about revenge.

Can Ceana and Macrath overcome the odds and win the war games to save her clan and find everlasting love?

This is definitely not your typical medieval romance. Yes, most have talk of battles and going off to war but they don't take place entirely on the battlefield like this one does. But having said that, I did really enjoy it.

The book reminded me of an action packed medieval movie. The time frame was pretty short and the scenes went pretty quickly. Even though the plot only took a couple of days, you can definitely see how going through what Ceana and Macrath went through could bring them together quickly.

I'm definitely excited to see what the rest of the series has in store for us. What will Ceana and Macrath do once they are the rulers?
