Book Review: The magic of the Scottish Highlands
Summary: 5 Stars
You know you have a great book in your hand when you find yourself reading past midnight right through the early hours of the morning. I have read the first three Highlander novels and, while I found them quite entertaining, none of them has managed to really captivate me. Indeed, I vacillated each time I grabbed this book and ended up reading five other novels before finally deciding to pick it up again. Talk about a long night, with every single delicious minute thoroughly enjoyed - reading this book, of course!
KISS OF THE HIGHLANDER is a highly enjoyable blend of time-travel, romance and magic. It's a story about a sixteenth century Scottish laird who finds himself enchanted by Gypsies and awaken in the twenty first century by Gwen Cassidy, a tourist who is having the worst time of her life until she literally lands on Drustan McKeltar's chest. If she was after adventure, then adventure is exactly what she's getting in the form of the big sexy sleeping Highlander. After the initial shock, which provides readers with some hilarious moments, both travel back in time to uncover the truth behind Drustan's enchantment. As anticipated, it's not to be a simple journey as they find themselves dealing with one problem after another.
What ensues is a witty and engaging read that I simply couldn't put down. I loved Drustan and Gwen. Their repartee was a joy to read and I found myself laughing silly at some of the scenes like the change room (wink, wink) and garderobe. Their characters are so well-suited that it was hard to picture them with another. Both possess strong personalities. Drustan is a real Alpha male but Gwen bravely matches him toe-to-toe providing some of the funniest moments in the book. She was such a great heroine, determined without being exasperating. I liked how she fought ferociously to get what she wanted.
I honestly didn't think it was going to be one of those books that thug at your heartstring, but I was wrong. What started off really comical turned out to be a touching read. There really wasn't a boring moment in the novel. Yes, it is formulaic, but I didn't grab this book expecting serious literature. And, frankly, I was happy to lose myself in this Highland magic and escape the daily grind.
Summary of Kiss of the Highlander (The Highlander Series, Book 4)
A laird trapped between centuries...Enchanted by a powerful spell, Highland laird Drustan MacKeltar slumbered for nearly five centuries hidden deep in a cave, until an unlikely savior awakened him. The enticing lass who dressed and spoke like no woman he?d ever known was from his distant future, where crumbled ruins were all that remained of his vanished world. Drustan knew he had to return to his own century if he was to save his people from a terrible fate. And he needed the bewitching woman by his side....
A woman changed forever in his arms...
Gwen Cassidy had come to Scotland to shake up her humdrum life and, just maybe, meet a man. How could she have known that a tumble down a Highland ravine would send her plunging into an underground cavern ? to land atop the most devastatingly seductive man she?d ever seen? Or that once he?d kissed her, he wouldn?t let her go?
Bound to Drustan by a passion stronger than time, Gwen is swept back to sixteenth-century Scotland, where a treacherous enemy plots against them ... and where a warrior with the power to change history will defy time itself for the woman he loves....
