Can one ever get enough of Holiday Romance? Add one big and brawny Highlander, a beautiful and strong Irish woman and mix with the magic and miracles of the season and the Scottish Highlands and out comes Sue-Ellen Welfonder’s Once Upon a Highland Christmas! Sprinkle liberally with romantic spice, lust, hopes and of course, dreams, sit back and enjoy, calorie free bliss.The fierce warrior longs for the Irish beauty, but feel unworthy of someone so delicate looking. The Irish woman longs for the attentions of the warrior, but feels unworthy of someone of his station. One kiss under the mistletoe and slowly the walls between them come inching down. How will others look upon their union? She is only a commoner, he is a man who could have a titled woman, or is there more to this story? Will the season bring about more than just the miracle of their love?Sue-Ellen Welfonder loves all things Scottish and it shows with her attention to detail and her ability to build a world that feels real. With dialogue filled with the flavor of the Scots, but not so overpowering as to detract from the story, this delightful character-driven romance is a light and quick read that fits perfectly with the season! For lovers of historical romance and those who love to sneak one in every once in a while, this is the time of year to overindulge, guilt-free and Once Upon a Highland Christmas is just sweet enough to savor, warm enough to curl up with and naughty enough to melt the chills away!I received a copy from Forever(Grand Central Publishing)in exchange for my honest review.
