About the Author

Elisabeth’s writing career began when she finished third in Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write contest in 2013 and hasn't looked back. She teaches Primary school but would rather write full time because unlike five year olds her characters generally do what she tells them. She spends most of her spare time reading and is a pro at cooking one-handed while holding a book.She lives in Cheshire because the car broke down there in 1999 and she never left.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless love story
    Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    The Lochmore Legacy is a mini series of four books by four different authors about a Scottish clan, well, two really, and a castle. There is also a mystery that runs through the books. Unusually for a series like this the stories run backwards through time. The first was set in the Victorian era, the second in the Regency and this, the third in the time of the Tudors.

    For me the hero of A Runaway Bride for the Highlander is actually the heroine. Marguerite is such a strong character, far stronger than Ewan her hero.

    Well written and very atmospheric, Ms. Hobbes takes the reader along on Marguerite’s flight from a loveless betrothal to a deep and enduring love.

    Tudor era romance is out of my comfort zone but nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed Marguerite and Ewan’s story. And now I’m looking forward to the fourth and final book (set in the thirteenth century and even further out of my comfort zone!) in the series and finding out the “why” in respect of that mystery I mentioned earlier.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019
    Format: Mass Market Paperback
    This is the next book in the reverse chronology of the Lochmore Legacy. Some questions from the previous books are answered while new ones make their appearance. Ewan and Marguerite are mentioned several times in the earlier books, so I was happy to get their story.

    The story begins immediately after Scotland's defeat at Flodden, as the clans gather at Stirling to plan Scotland's future. Ewan, who had been studying law in Glasgow, is on the way to Stirling to claim the title of Earl of Glenarris following the deaths of his father and brother. Grief-stricken, Ewan suffers grave doubts about his ability to fill his father's shoes. While at the castle, he encounters an unusual young woman who he can't get off his mind.

    Marguerite is a young Frenchwoman who is betrothed to Duncan McCrieff, a man twice her age. Still grieving the death of her mother, Marguerite is out of her depth in the rougher environment of the Scottish court. She also quickly realizes that her fiancé frightens her in ways she had not anticipated. The only bright spot is the young, handsome Highlander who befriends her. When she decides to run, she stows away in Ewan's cart.

    I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Marguerite and Ewan. Their fascination with each other was evident from the beginning. While a good share of Ewan's interest was wrapped up in physical attraction, there was also a layer of protectiveness. He knew Duncan and his reputation and that it would not be a pleasant marriage for Marguerite. He was also well aware that there was nothing he could do about it. Though Marguerite was fearful of most men, there was something about Ewan that she found easy to trust. This made her avenue of escape an easy decision. I was quite impressed with her planning and preparation, though she neglected to confirm precisely where Ewan was going. I was surprised that she remained hidden as long as she did.

    I loved Ewan's reaction when he found her. Though not at all happy to discover her there, especially given his recent encounter with Duncan, he is a gentleman. Knowing what he does, he won't return her to Duncan, but keeping her with him creates a whole different set of problems. As they make their way toward Lochmore they learn more about each other and realize that their initial impressions were not entirely accurate. I loved seeing Marguerite destroy his belief that she was a spoiled miss by rising to every challenge placed in front of her. She also learned that Ewan wasn't the barbarian she thought he was. In the time they spent together, the attraction between them grew stronger, and feelings of friendship deepened to more. I laughed a little at Ewan whose gentlemanly behavior warred with his baser urges. It became even more difficult as Marguerite's wariness lessened, her trust increased, and she discovered that getting close to the right man is pleasurable indeed. There are some emotional scenes that expose their vulnerabilities and fears to each other, but also show how right they are for each other.

    But nothing is easy, and their arrival at Lochmore is complicated as the castle is under siege by the McCrieffs in a double-motivated attack. Ewan had previously made clear to Duncan that he was suspected of treason, and Ewan meant to prove it. Meanwhile, Duncan's cousin Donald is angry that Ewan received lands that Donald believed rightfully belong to him. Ewan must make his debut as Laird under these trying circumstances, and he isn't sure that he's up to the task. I loved Marguerite's confidence in him and the steadying effect that it had on him. The tension increases as the McCrieffs' actions strike at the heart of Lochmore, and Marguerite's disappearance forces Ewan to make a choice. I was on the edge of my seat until the final confrontation was over. The epilogue was a terrific wrap-up to this book and gave a sweet look at the Ewan and Marguerite's lives.

    After his father and brother were killed in the battle of Flodden, Ewan Lochmore became the new Earl of Glenarris. With a heavy heart, he travelled to officially claim his title at the King's House, where a Special Council is being held. One night, Ewan is mesmerised by apparition, the flesh and blood woman is no ghost but French beauty Marguerite Vallon. Unfortunately, Marguerite is betrothed to a McCrieff, of the enemy clan Marguerite doesn't like Scotland, and had come to accept the fact that she has to marry Duncan McCrieff. But getting to know her betrothed better soon makes her realise that she cannot be tied down to a man she can hardly stand. She has also befriended Ewan, and upon hearing that he will depart shortly, she comes to a decision. She knows she can trust Ewan, so she sneaks out and will hide in his cart until she finds a way to sail home to France. Ewan finds her, and seeing how distraught she is, reluctantly agrees to take her where she can be safe. Ewan doesn't like Duncan either and cannot bear to leave a defenseless woman to fend for herself in a foreign country.

    This third installment of The Lochmore Legacy takes place in 1513, as the Middle Ages ease into the Renaissance. I love the mood Elisabeth Hobbes has created: she captures the Zeitgeist in a richly nuanced portrait. A RUNAWAY BRIDE FOR THE HIGHLANDER is, in a way, a road trip through Scotland as Ewan and Marguerite travel to safety and, doing so, slowly start to fall in love. For me, it was the highlight of the book, as Ms. Hobbes eloquently paints a vivid picture of Scotland, while preserving the gothic atmosphere of the series. The author weaves seamlessly fact and fiction, adding all sorts of fascinating period details which lend authenticity to the narrative.

    In spite of a strong undercurrent of danger, A RUNAWAY BRIDE FOR THE HIGHLANDER is a gentle romance that unfolds at a leisurely pace. I was actually surprised that the road to Lochmore wasn't fraught with peril. Ewan and Marguerite are models of propriety, even if their thoughts eventually take a more lascivious turn, but neither is very loquacious. They had not foreseen this attraction which complicates their precarious situation. As we go back in time, we get answers to some of the previous books' mysteries, but how the McCrieff-Lochmore feud really started remains to be seen.

    I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

    After the deaths of his father and brother, Ewan Lochmore, becomes the Earl Of Glenarris. Ewan travels to the King’s house to claim his title.

    There he meets the French beauty, Marguerite Vallon, who is betrothed to a McCrieff. Unhappy in her betrothal, Marguerite plans her escape. After befriending Ewan and hearing that he will be departing, she decides to hide in his chart until she can find a way to return to France. After Ewan finds her, he reluctantly agrees to help her and keep her safe.

    The detail of Scotland is vivid. I enjoyed the growing romance between Marguerite and Ewan. Well done.
