This was an exciting read filled with fantastic characters, drama, and passion. It's one of those books that I picked up and literally couldn't put back down. Ransom was incredible!
Ransom (Highlands' Lairds #2) by Julie Garwood
A decade later, Gillian once again crosses paths with the nefarious baron, but instead of losing everything like she had as a child, she finds the key to resolving her past in two handsome Scottish chieftains. With the cunning and courage of the daring Scotsmen and the friendship of a new ally named Bridgid KirkConnell, Gillian at last has she what needs to reclaim her home, her family, and her father’s reputation.
But in the presence of the mighty warriors, Gillian and Bridgid discover that desire can be a weapon of conquest, betrayal can slay trust in a heartbeat, and the greatest risk of all is to surrender to unexpected love.

Ransom was incredible! I picked it up and
never wanted to put it down. I was captivated by all the different characters
and the world they lived in. I loved the intensity, passion, and drama and felt
consumed by it all.
Brodick and Gillian were wonderful characters. I loved her
strength and tenacity and her amazing courage to tackle things head-on. Brodick
was gruff and protective but underneath so very caring. I adored them together
and loved watching their feelings grow and evolve and the heat between them explode. I
love this time period when it comes to alpha-Highlanders, they're all bossy
and possessive but when they fall, they fall hard and it’s pretty epic. There
were so many entertaining scenes between them as everything played out, I couldn't get enough!
From the intense beginning to the fantastic ending, I was
all in. I loved the details and build and thought it flowed well. I loved
the humor woven in and the banter with various characters and couples that had
me laughing and smiling. I really enjoyed the three main Lairds and the bonds
they have as well as their good-natured ribbing. I also loved a secondary story
with another couple happening. It was more subtle but thrilled me just as much
as Gillian and Brodick’s HEA. I also loved the sweet boy Alec and how Gillian
was there for him. There were just so many great moments throughout, I enjoyed
it all.
This really was a thrilling read. Drama. Betrayal. Passion.
Humor. I loved everything about it!
