My Highland Lover

 

I know! I know! Another Highland romance novel. I told you there was a lot of these books that I have been reading lately. Although I do promise that there are plenty of other books coming as well. My Highland Lover took me by surprise! The main theme of the book was one that I enjoy but I worried if it would hold a candle to my other favorite series.

About the Book

As the proprietor of a homeopathic store in rural Kentucky, Trulie Sinclair knows that her neighbors think she’€™s strange–but they have no idea how strange she really is. Trulie was born in Scotland in the thirteenth century to a line of time-traveling Highlanders. When Trulie’s grandmother convinces her to return to their homeland,Trulie jumps back in time, right onto the powerful chest of Gray MacKenna. Just as his steely good looks send ripples through her body, their fierce attraction will send ripples through the ages.

After his parents murdered, Gray is consumed by thoughts of revenge. As the new chieftain of the MacKenna clan, he has reason to believe that there’s a traitor in his midst, and nothing–not even the bonny lass who suddenly drops from the sky–€”can distract him from his single-minded pursuit of the culprit. But when Gray learns that this sassy beauty possesses gifts beyond the sparkle in her eye, he allows his gaze, and his heart, to linger. While he hunts for the murderer, Gray finds in Trulie a precious companion–and a timeless love.

My Thoughts

I love Trulie! She is so great and such a strong character. She has found her place in this century and doesn’t want to leave so you can imagine how angry she is when she finds out that her grandmother has lied about her reasons for pretty much forcing her back to the thirteenth century. I also love what happens when she gets there! When Trulie and her grandmother land in the thirteenth century is to the line “It’s raining women!” I am not making that up!

Gray is very a very typical Highlander and falls in love with Trulie. However there are things that she tells him that could change all of that yet when the moment to finally choose comes it is Gray who has to convince Trulie. The story is really great! There is plenty of romance but also some intrigue with Gray and Trulie hot on the trail of a murderer.
