My Highland Lover
by Maeve Greyson
Summary
Trulie Sinclair, helps run a homeopathic store along with her grandmother and her sisters. She loves living in the modern world and has built her life here. But her grandmother has different plans for her and they reside in the past in the highlands. Trulie was born in the 1200’s, but had to come to modern-day. But now she knows that she is needed in the Scottish Highlands. So they make the jump back in time and lands on top of Gray MacKenna. Gray, is the chieftain the MacKenna clan, but is bent on revenge for the death of his parents. He knows that there is a traitor in his midst, he just needs to find him or her and bring them to justice. But then a young lass Trulie lands in his lap, a lass of mystical powers, a woman who is stubborn and full of determination. He can’t resist the passion he sees in her eyes, or the way she has opened his heart to other possibilities in his life. But will the revenge for his parents deaths take control or will the power of love heal the worst wounds…
The Hero
Gray, is quite the hero. He hasn’t had an easy life, but knew the love of his parents, and the love they had for each other. But Gray is full of pride and bitterness, and he just doesn’t know if he has room for anything else in his life. He is protective of his clan and everyone that resides within. What did I truly admire about his character? His tenacity and the way he leads his people. You see from the beginning of the story his strength and fortitude, and such determination to find his parents killers. The way he is with Trulie is wonderful, he doesn’t deny his feelings for her…he embraces them, which was quite refreshing.
The Heroine
Trulie loves the modern world and all of its conveniences. She doesn’t deny how simply and easy life is. At first she is determined to stay in this time, but she knows that there is something more for her in the past, and does the right thing, even if she doesn’t understand the why. You see the way that she is the perfect match for Gray. She is no pushover, and she doesn’t stand idly by, she takes action and I love her sassy attitude. It was quite an energetic feeling you get seeing them interact with each other. Her character was charming and fun, she is quite the free spirit, but she craves what any human woman does, and I love seeing the different facets of her character.
Plot and Story Line
This is the first time I have had the opportunity to read this author. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to try this one out and I do love my sexy highlander romances, but when you add a blend of magic and time travel…and you have a winning gem of a story. Now I am a bit picky at times of time travel, but this is one that any one who loves a good romance would enjoy. This is the first in her latest series, so I definitely would recommend trying it out. My Highland Lover is a story that does have a bit of a paranormal element, with a bit of mystery and danger aspects included that really make a well-balanced read. The story in the beginning is very engaging and witty, and you don’t have a hard time with the flow of the story…at least at first. About halfway…I did struggle a little bit, I felt like the flow felt a bit staggered and now as smooth as in the beginning of the story…but it does level out and becomes more smoothly a bit later. What I truly enjoyed about this story, was how we have a balance of a mystery and a love story. There is a focus on solving some murders here, as well as a current crime, and plus we have the intense relationship between Gray and Trulie. There are some truths revealed that I didn’t see coming, and I do love a good twist that keeps you engaged. You definitely need to stick with the story, and I am so glad that I did. What I found a delight, was the historical context as well. It is very obvious that this author has done her homework and studied the era she takes us to. It was quite an enjoyable ride of passion, adventure, and magic.
Cover
Now who wouldn’t love this cover…oh my…I might just swoon. I love the pose, and man that male model…such a gorgeous body…all that muscle and sinew, that hair, and in a kilt…I mean who can resist such sexual appeal right? Then you have that majestic background of the highlands, overall one hell of a cover!
Overall View
A wonderful and stimulating time travel romance that takes you to a time of magic, myths, and desire. A tale of danger, intrigue and sensuality. A DELIGHT!
