She painted his soul, when everyone was looking at his scars…

Ambitious artist Aysel MacKormack must find the funds to save her father from his illness. And the perfect opportunity presents itself when she is commissioned to paint the portrait of the reclusive Laird of McPhee. A portrait that just might prove the hardest task she’s ever undertaken, when she sees the scar marring his face.

Aptly nicknamed the “Dragon Laird” for always staying in his castle, Stephan Barclay has lived in self-imposed exile for years. Until a woman with sunshine in her smile breaks through the carefully constructed walls around his heart and rekindles his passion.

When Stephan nearly perishes on Aysel’s doorstep after an ambush, he must climb through the dungeons to get his life back. Navigating his way through years of deceit, the truth of Aysel’s heritage lies in the day he got his scar. A heritage painted in her blood...

*To Tame the Dragon Highlander is a steamy Scottish historical romance novel of 80,000 words (around 400 pages). No cheating, no cliffhangers, lots of steam and a happy ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Romance

I have thoroughly enjoyed this lovely story. A Highland Dragon and the angel, fairy as he called her. Stephan was a depressed Laird who became a hermit in his own castle until he met Ansyl who was a painter that came to do his portrait. They were antagonistic after the first day together because of his temper, but soon fell in love. Ansyl and Bhaltair, Stephens brother, were instrumental in saving the Lairdship when insurrection occurred. This wonderful story was well with the time to read.

Enjoyable highland romance with a scarred Laird and a village painter. I enjoyed the main characters and the plot twists. One star removed for some of the dunderhead actions of the Laird. Overall, an entertaining read.

A depressed Lair with a scar on his face has become a recluse, but his mother insists a painting be done to be placed besides his late fathers. Stephan is not happy but concedes to her wishes. The daughter of the artist who painted the late Laird is now called upon to do the Stephans. Ansyl is thrilled at the opportunity to do it and the money received will help them out and hopefully get a healer for her ill father. They really got off on the wrong feet at their first meeting and neither had hoped to see each other ever again. Of course, events happened, and they fell in love. But with suspense, attempted murder and hatred from another, it was a long road for them. This was a fun book to read. A little wordy and drawn out, but a good book.

Aysel was a very good painter and a good daughter. She had been taught to paint by her father. He claimed she was much better than him. He had painted the old Laird and now they wanted Aysel to paint the new Laird and add his picture to the wall. Aysel was delighted to do it because she needed money to take care of sick father. There were many rumors going around about Stephan because no one had seen the new Laird since he had come home from fighting in the war.

The story of Aysel and Stephan, Aysel was a painter taught by her father. Stephen was a Laird. Aysel was asked to come to the castle to paint a portrait of Stephan. Aysel was worried as she had heard from the villagers that the reclusive laird was really a dragon. She soon finds out that he was just a good and handsome man. Lots of action and love in the story.
