Nine years ago, Faerie Magic saved Mairi MacKiernan at the cost of her dreams of happiness, snatching her from her life in 1272, and depositing her in the twenty-first century. Now, she must save the last Daughter of the MacKiernan family...who was murdered in 1295. Transported back in time at her request, Mairi finds herself captured by the same evil men as before! Is this the price the Faerie Magic requires of her this time?
Ramos Servans has dedicated his dreams to service as a Guardian, but when he discovers the evil unleashed on the Mortal Plain by his father and their people, he swears he will atone by ridding the world of Nuadian deceit. Part of his mission involves rescuing a lovely Highland lassie, and in the passion that grows between them, Ramos and Mairi find a new dream.

But falling in love can be dangerous when Faerie Magic is involved. Dreams may not be the only cost....

First Line(s) " Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

My Review: If your looking for hunky men and some time travel, and who isn't looking for these two things in their life, than this is the perfect series. This series has enough drama, suspsense, stubborn woman and did I mention hunky men to give you everything your looking for in a romance novel.

I will admit I had a rough time getting into this book but once it picked up speed I finished it rather quickly!

My Rating:

As I mentioned in the last few reviews I am trying to play catch up with all my reviews before the year is over. If I picked up a book on my own the reviews will be short and sweet. Those waiting for reviews of books sent to us, they are coming. The holidays season is a busy time for everyone but Allison and I have small children at home ( me 4 boys, her 2 girls), we WILL get them all up, all books have been read. Stay tuned!

Until next time...Happy Reading!

Highland Guardian: Review

Highland Guardian

(Daughters of the Glen, Book 2)

by Melissa Mayhue

Sarah Douglas is a successful romance novelist who's come to Scotland hoping to overcome her writer's block and to come to terms with her strange ability to sense the emotions of everyone she touches. But from the moment she arrives, her problems only intensify. From the stalker- who might be only a figment of her imagination- to her attraction to the darkly handsome owner of the cottage she's rented, nothing goes as she had planned.

Ian McCullough is neck-deep in his own trouble. A half-mortal descendant of Faeries, he's been a Guardian for more than six hundred years, but he's never encountered a woman like Sarah. Assigned to protect her, he finds the job tougher than he could have imagined. Oh, he can handle the stalker, and even the renegade Faeries trying to kidnap her. But falling in love means forsaking his role as Guardian — which is some-thing he could never do.

But there is no denying the passion that exists between two souls fated to be together.

First Line: " The threat is over."

Favorite Line(s): n/a

My Review: Another wonderful book written by Melissa Mayhue in the series of Daughters of Glen. Good thing about this book is it doesn't matter if you read it out of order. The story is free standing, is not tied in with the first book in the series ( although you should read that one as well). I love the loyalties you find in this book, not only with family but with friends. This story takes place in present time so you won't be reading about any time traveling but Melissa has a way of making you think... "what if" or "maybe it's true". The relationship between Ian and Sarah is endearing throughout the whole story and hot when needed. They made a believable couple.

Highland Guardian:

by Melissa Mayhue

He couldn't stand the look of hurt in her eyes, couldn't stand the thought he had caused that hurt. He set his own glass away and, reaching down, he captured the foot she'd left on the floor and lifted it to his lap, removing her remaining sandal in the process.

I just adore Melissa Mayhue's books! How about you, got a teaser today?

Until next time...
