Sworn to forget his past….

Alex MacKay has roamed the world as a mercenary, trying to forget his shattered past. But when he’s summoned by his brother to defend clan lands, the very man who betrayed him and married the woman he loved, he’s surprised to learn that the spirited Keely not only abandoned his brother on their wedding night, but never returned.

Sworn to embrace a new future…

Keely Oliphant fled home on her wedding night and sought refuge among the Sutherlands, the enemies of her clan. Years later, ready to make amends for her past, Keely braves returning to her family.

But nothing is the same, and Keely is forced to face the new MacKay laird—Alex—the man she once loved.

Alex refuses to forgive her, but demands she honor their years-old betrothal. The MacKays need an heir.

Facing yet another marriage she doesn’t want, Keely tries to resist Alex’s loveless seduction.

But as time passes, old feelings are rekindled.

Will Alex finally admit he wants a second chance at love, or will he once again deny fate when the Sutherlands claim his marriage to Keely is invalid and try to force her back to Dunrobin Castle to marry the earl's youngest son?

Author Violetta Rand scores another homerun with Unbreakable Book 1 of the Highland Forever series. This book is filled with lost unrequited love which shaped Alex into a cold hard killing machine. But things aren't always what they appear and as the reader gets further into the book they will see that things are not as black and white as Alex thought. How the author takes Alex through this discovery is handled with finesse and the reader will feel rewarded as they deal with all the feelings invoked in this book.

Keely's choices she made in the past and even currently were kind of mind boggling at first but they all make perfect sense as the story progresses, and I came to admire her strength of commitment to her beliefs. It is obvious when you finally meet her family how she got to be so strong willed and found the strength to run away on her wedding night all those years ago.

By far my favorite secondary character is the scholar Petro de' Medici. He added the much needed relief and common sense to Keely and Alex's constant fighting. Don't get me wrong they weren't always fighting and the loves scenes where just plain hot adding to the reader's enjoyment of the story.

I give this book 4.5 STARS for all the emotions that came out while reading this book.

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
