Bewitching A Highlander (IBPA-Online.Org)

"Bewitching a Highlander blends Scottish romance with supernatural overtones as it follows healer Breena's search for her missing father. This endeavor leads her into the clan hold of the Campbells, where she encounters fiery leader Egan Dunbar. . .  Libraries looking for steamy romances well steeped in cultural exploration and historic events will find Bewitching a Highlander a compelling historical romance that holds the power to attract on different levels."

"Bewitching a Highlander is a fun, romantic adventure set in 1747, Scotland. Author Cordon does an admirable job of bringing the reader back to that perilous setting with authentic language . . . The plot is engaging and twisty and held my attention throughout. I highly recommend this book to readers of historical romance!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed this romance between Breena, a low-born healer who keeps her witchery practice secret, and Egan Dunbar, who has a duty to marry a highborn woman but falls for the spirited healer when he finds her determined to break out a prisoner from the Campbell's dungeon. Cordon skillfully relates the respect and friendship that develop between Breena and Egan on their path to falling in love and takes the reader on some wonderful adventures through the Scottish countryside. An outstanding debut. I look forward to more books from this author!
