HistoricalJunkie | Sep 17, 2019 |   A highland version of Snow White and the Hunter. Present is the wicked stepmother of Laire MacLeod. A darkly cold woman who beguiles and enchants men, using their female offspring to ensure her own continued beauty. Laire is the young daughter of the bewitched laird who fights for her family and her love. We have seven young people, thieves bonded together to form a clan whom Laire seeks shelter with. Then we have the Hunter, Iain Lindsay, bonded to Lady for seven years, whose gain saying of his Lady will come at a terrible price. From a highland perspective, a take on an old age story of evil and the purity of love freely given. A breathtaking read of a fairytale reimagined. A NetGalley ARC (  ) eyes.2c | Dec 31, 2017 | THE LADY AND THE HIGHLANDER is a loose retelling of Snow White. Laire MacLeod's father meets and marries a widow in Edinburgh that no one seems to know. At their wedding celebration Laire notices that her sisters are acting very odd. Days later it only gets worse. Iain Lindsey is bound to Bibiana for seven years, so acting as her hunter he has to bring her birds for her potions. When Laire flees to Edinburgh to find her uncle, Bibiana sends Iain to bring her home. That will not be an easy task... This is my first Lecia Cornwall novel and I loved it. It's a fast paced well written story. I was a little leery of Iain at first but it didn't last long. The storyline and characters are well developed and I totally fell in love with the "dwarfs"! I received this book from the publisher via Netgalley for my honest opinion. (  ) CelticBookDragon | Apr 12, 2017 | Fairy Tale #3 Fairy Tales have been a favorite of mine for decades so finding a rewrite of Snow White, a childhood favorite, that held my attention, hit the main points and was a delight to read provided me with an enchanting way to spend the day! Dark and delicious with an evil stepmother bordering on being a Borgia, or perhaps a vampire, bent on sucking the MacLeod family dry and with only one of twelve daughters to take her evil plot on and save the family – well – I found this enthralling! I loved the hunter’s backstory, the way the dwarves were children in need instead and the love story of Ian and Laire as it unfolded. This book is one that I thoroughly enjoyed and am eager to recommend. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars ( ) CathyGeha | Apr 4, 2017 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Laire MacLeod's father has married a mysterious widow who is a vain beauty that deals with potions and spells. Laire does not drink them with the rest of her family and is the only one who could see through her stepmother's games. When Laire flees to find help from her uncle, the Lady's huntsman follows her with orders to kill. Laire must survive in a dangerous new city and find the antidote to a poisonous potion before it is too late. Iain Lindsay is cursed. He is bound for seven years to be the hunter of a Lady who uses him to bring back birds to use in her potions. When Laire MacLeod escapes the Lady's nets, Iain tracks her to Edinburgh, where she's found shelter with an unusual band of thieves, but he cannot bring himself to harm her. Instead, he finds himself falling in love with the MacLeod beauty. But a Highlander's oath is his bond, and the price for helping her is death-both his own, and of those he loves.
