Secrets of the Highlander

'Megan MacKeage escaped the smothering protectiveness of the Highland MacKeage clan to work as a scientist on the Canadian tundra. But when fellow researcher Wayne Ferris breaks her heart by rejecting her, Megan returns to Maine alone.... Then she meets the town's new police chief, Jack Stone -- the man she knew as Wayne Ferris. Instead of the quiet scholar he posed as, he's an aggressive private eye who's willing to fight for what he wants, just like all the overbearing men in her clan. So why is Megan still feeling a dangerous attraction? And though Jack claims he followed her here because he loves her, can she ever trust a man with so many secrets?" - Amazon

• Secrets of The Highlander is the last book of the Highlander series by Janet Chapman. I finished it last night and am honestly sad to see the series end. The characters were fun and relatable and the stories they told were heartwarming, suspenseful, and well developed. 4/5 stars

Picked up my books and tickets to the book signing!!

Today's The Day!!!

So today is the day. Diana Gabaldon's An Echo in the Bone is released today!

I'll be going to Davis Kidd later on to pick up my pre-ordered copy plus my grandmothers, and my sister-in-laws. Then on Thursday, I'll get all three autographed by the lady Gabaldon herself. I don't usually care much for celebrities or autographs but I'm excited about getting these for my family. I haven't read a synopsis for this book yet and I'm not going to. I'm not letting anything spoil the surprise!!

Highlander Series by Janet Chapman

So I just finished Janet Chapman's Only With A Highlander. It was a really fun and easy read. If you are a fan of Diana Gabaldon or Karen Marie Moning, you will love these books. I did! She also has several other series with some character overlapping. 4/5 stars

"Winter MacKeage is the reason her father, Greylen, was brought from medieval Scotland to Maine. She is the seventh daughter, and the future of the world is in her hands, according to Father Daar, the wizard responsible for time travel. Father Daar believes that a powerful enemy and fellow wizard is causing a disruption of power, and he knows that Winter, now 24, must be told about her fate, but he and his wife procrastinate long enough for Matt Gregor to walk into Winter's art gallery. He buys one of her paintings and invites her to plan the house he hopes to build. Winter is unnerved by her reaction to Matt, and as her attraction grows, Matt must face her family, and Winter must face her destiny. Chapman presents an excellent addition to her entertaining Highlander series." Patty Engelmann -Booklist

Outlander: My favorite book of all time

Outlander: My favorite book of all time (This is a challenge to all authors to write a better book)

"In Outlander, a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don't let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library.

While on her second honeymoon in the British Isles, Claire touches a boulder that hurls her back in time to the forbidden Castle Leoch with the MacKenzie clan. Not understanding the forces that brought her there, she becomes ensnared in life-threatening situations with a Scots warrior named James Fraser. But it isn't all spies and drudgery that she must endure. For amid her new surroundings and the terrors she faces, she is lured into love and passion like she's never known before." --Amazon Review

• Outlander was recommended to me by my my Grandmother Ruth, who I will always be grateful to for doing so. This book changed my life in so many ways. For one, it was one of the reasons I began to read again. For years I detested reading. Mainly because of the 'Required Reading' lists that my school inflicted on me - which I never seemed to enjoy. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Nease High School for making me hate books (actually I blame the school system who chooses shitty books to make us read). I hate the fact that a school I loved - and love to this day -  ruined me on reading for so many years. I'll probably discuss this topic on a later date...

But - thank you to Diana Gabaldon for writing this enthralling story and to my grandmother for recomending this book. Because of them I have found my love for reading and I hope that gift never leaves me again! 5/5 stars •
