Then, he finds out that she's not the free-spirited gypsy he believed her to be. Lochlan and Catarina aren't exactly friends, but he helps her escape - after all, she's saved his brother Ewan's life and he feels obliged to help her in return.
During his journey, he comes upon Catarina, his sister-in-law Nora's cousin, while she's trying to escape from her "kidnappers". Laird Lochlan MacAllister is in France on a quest to find his missing brother Kieran, who may or may not be alive after all these years when everyone thought he had killed himself. I know I've complained about this trait of hers before, but I do find it irritating so I'll keep going at it until she stops doing it, LOL.
They appear left and right and we're supposed to know who they are, just like that. MacGregor has the very annoying habit of bringing characters from the previous books without so much as an introduction. The Warrior is the latest installment in the MacAllister and Brotherhood of the Sword series and, although it can be read as a standalone, I don't recommend it because Ms. up until the very end, when things got very, very strange. Everything went well and I quite enjoyed this read. That's when wishes change to prayers for nothing more than the safety and love found in each other's arms.I'd been dying to read Lochlan MacAllister's story since Taming the Scotsman, so I was "predisposed" to like The Warrior even though I'd been a bit disappointed with the previous 2 books in this series. But adventures can weary a soul, especially when deadly enemies appear in unexpected places. Tilda's rescue has Duncan headed for the gallows even though she claims him to be her husband to refute the accusations. She's fearless and canny and takes pride in bending her will to no man-until the day the soldiers decide she needs humbling. But she'd rather work at her father's side, helping him build their smuggling empire and outmaneuver the bloody MacDonalds. Her duty is to marry and secure an alliance. Independence and adventure are all Tilda Mackenzie wants, a tall order for the only child of the chieftain of Clan Mackenzie. So, he offers his services to the ruthless smuggling lord, the MacDonald of Skye, and all is set-until the woman screams. Years as a mercenary fed him the adventure he needed, but now the dull routines of his brother's keep are starving him for excitement. Death by boredom is the only fate Duncan MacCoinnich fears.
