Highland Jewel, the second book in the Royal Highlander Series, is a splendid blending of romance, action, and history. Fans of romances with mystery, accurate historical intrigue, and magnetic characters will thoroughly enjoy this installment. When Niall finds Cinaed, he is living with Isabella, his new wife and Maisie, who happens to be Isabella's sister and fears that Niall has come to kill Cinaed. Niall is also approached by an advisor to Queen Caroline and agrees to search for her son, Cinaed Mackintosh, whom she has not seen in years. But before the two can make plans to wed, Fiona is kidnapped, and Niall leaves Edinburgh determined to find his sister. Niall and Maisie's friendship, based upon mutual understanding and respect, blossoms into romance, which culminates in a marriage proposal from Niall. When British troops become violent in response to one of the Female Reform Society's protests, Fiona's brother, former Royal Highland Regiment soldier Lt. Maisie Murray started the Edinburgh chapter of the Female Reform Society with her friend Fiona Johnson. The enjoyable second Royal Highlander historical (after Highland Crown) from McGoldrick (a shared pseudonym for a husband-and-wife team), set in early-19th-century Scotland, is fast-paced and filled with political unrest.
