Surrender to the Highlander (Historical Romance) Review

Rurik Erengislsson's childhood friends, Magnus and Sven, have come to Lairig Dubh where Rurik has been living with his uncle and the Clan MacLerie to tell Rurik that his father wants him to come back home and take his rightful place as heir. As a bastard son, Rurik has always craved the acceptance and love of his father so he returns.

Rurik is sent by his father to fetch Margriet Gunnarsdottir from the convent she has been living in for years and bring her home. Rurik is fascinated by Margriet. Although she dresses as a nun and even claims to be one, Rurik is sure she is not. He intends to find out why she is pretending. Margriet is hiding more than one secret. As she journey's home to her father she regrets her lies to Rurik but Margriet is convinced that she has no other choice.

Rurik and Margriet have much in common and their mutual attraction continues to grow. Is there a future for them together when they return home and truths are revealed and lies exposed?

Surrender to the Highlander is an angst filled romance filled with forbidden love and unfulfilled desires. I liked both Rurik and Margriet. I was almost convinced there was no way for them to be together. The story unfolds dramatically and romantically. Surrender to the Highlander is a good story with a perverse and cruel villain and many amiable characters.

Surrender to the Highlander (Historical Romance) Overview

Torn between honor and desire...
Innocent Margriet Gunnarsdottir carried a heavy secret. She faced a perilous journey to the wild and distant north of Scotland, and her safety lay in her adopted disguise--a nun's habit! But her only protector, a proud, rough-hewn Highlander, made her ache to share her crushing burden.
Rurik Erengislsson had sworn to see her home and unharmed. A woman promised to the service of God should be shielded and honored--not desired! Yet Rurik was tempted beyond reason to make this beautiful waif his own.

Surrender To The Highlander - sheng thao -
The book was not like what i expect it to be i was hoping for more romantic between the character and see their feeling develop over time but it was more like he was the only one doing most of the wooing and the story was mostly focus on getting her home safety and him wanting to reach home and be accepted by his father. I love her other book but this one have disappoint me very much. i was really happy when i found out Terri had wrote a book on Rurik Erengislsson i was expecting more out of the story since he seem to the expert about women.

So very enjoyable! - M. M. Robinson - Austin, TX USA
I purchased this on a lark and was very happily surprised! Occasionally the dialect written was annoying but I believe it was a sincere attempt at being true to the period. Rurik and Margriet were sweetly contrary at first and that made their story all the more endearing to me. Ms. Brisbin definitely knows the line when writing her scoundrels into the story. Thorfinn was horrible! However, he was not so horrible that it ruined the story as has happened in a few I've read. I'm definitely putting this author on my "must read" list.

Page Turner - Pearl Wolf - Southampton, New York
Brisbin's well researched book grips you from page one. Rurik, who cannot rid himself of his rough Viking heritage, has sworn to bring a reluctant Margaret home where he will have to face his father. Rurik and Margaret are both wounded with their own secrets. I won't spoil it for you by telling you what they are. Read the book and find out! Pearl Wolf
