4.3 out of 5 stars (57)
Valan MacLeod’s wicked first wife betrayed him. Her death haunts him like a wraith in the night, making it impossible for him to trust any other woman. One stormy evening fate thrusts an intriguing, young girl into his life. He saves Aria Morrison from a vicious assault and learns she is running to avoid an arranged marriage to Baron Eduard Ramsay, Valan’s sworn enemy.

Valan and Aria take refuge for the night in a cottage by the sea. Her sweet innocence enchants Valan into believing he might be able to love again, and he offers to marry her in the baron’s stead. Her father refuses the match. He uses Valan’s dark past against him and forces Aria to uphold the marriage contract.

Months later Aria’s husband dies, and she comes to Valan begging for sanctuary. Seeing her again, Valan realizes he still loves her, but the naïve girl has changed into a woman with secrets, reminding him of his deceptive first wife. Did she kill her abusive husband? Can Valan trust Aria with his heart?


Desperate to escape an arranged marriage, Aria Morrison flees in hopes her actions will bring her father to his senses, but her plan goes awry. Alone on the trail Aria is accosted by miscreants bent on having their way with her.

Out of the gloom, a shadowy figure comes to her rescue. She soon learns her savior is none other than Laird Valan MacLeod, one of most powerful men in the Highlands. Valan becomes the champion of her dreams. Aria is thrilled when he offers to marry her to protect her from the baron.

Her father thwarts their plan, telling her Valan stood by and allowed his first wife to be murdered. The dark forces at work in Laithclach Castle send Aria running to Valan to ask for sanctuary. After all that happened between them, can she find a way to regain his trust?

    I have just completed the series and though I have read some of the stories as individuals it was worth reading them again in the series . The plots are independent of each other though some characters appear in more than one book. Each was an enjoyable read and we'll worth the time.

    Protector of the Highlands: Tales of the Isles - 3 (Highland Legends Book 8) by Connie C. Charon
    This is the story of Valan MacLeod and Aria Morrison.
    Valan was betrayed badly by his wife but she is dead now and he can't get past the damage that was done. But when he saves Aria he meets a young innocent women trying to escape a marriage to his enemy, Baron Eduard Ramsay. Valan tries to save her from him but her father isn't having it and she is forced to marry the man. After his death she comes to him asking for his help...but she is no longer the young innocent women that she first was....is she fallen to be like his first wife?
    Exciting read that can be a standalone story I thought.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Steamy romance with a hot Scot
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    What is it that makes Medieval Scottish men so intriguing? Connie Scharon has created another hot Scot in Protector of the Highlands: Tales of the Isles. Valan is handsome, brave, victorious in battle, kind, compassionate, and in love with Aria, who happens to be betrothed, and eventually married, to another man, the very unpleasant Baron Eduard Ramsey. I admire Aria's courage and spunk. She is absolutely determined to save her virginity for Valan and so learns how to use special powders to deceive and mislead. Of course, because Valan's first wife was executed for being deceitful, Valan and his family are suspicious of Aria. (Don't you sometimes want to shakes these characters and say, "She did it for you and to protect herself and her family, Mr. Mush-For-Brains. What other options does a woman in this time period have?")

    The love scenes are steamy, and though the relationship between Aria and Valan is passionate, it is also sweet and very romantic.

    Trigger warning: The book opens with the attempted rape of Aria by three men. Aria is physically abused, though this mostly takes place off-page, and she is threatened with sexual violence.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A page-turner
    Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    Connie Scharon has once again produced a page-turner. The book starts with Valan MacLeod saving Aria Morrison from a vicious assault. If I lived in the 1300’s and needed to be rescued, Valan MacLeod is the man I would want to save me. Not only he is strong and handsome, he is compassionate. A man willing to stand for what he believes is right, no matter the cost to himself. Protector of the Highlands:Tales of the Isles-3 has all the elements you look for in a great historical Scottish romance, betrayal, evil plots and love. This book racks at the top of my favorite Connie Scharon books.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019

    The bones of the story is alright. The grammatics are fine. The 'aye, so' got very tedious. Definitely an early work by the author. Written for easy reading. It's like she wrote a large number of sex scenes, and then wrote the story around them. Needs a good editing to strengthen characters and story. Has potential at least.

    Really good book. Wasn't so keen on the repetitive sex all the time. But apart from that exciting story and well fleshed characters.
