Rebecca Massee is a mild-mannered kindergarten teacher, that is until her fiancé backs out on her at the altar.  The earthquake that rocks the church as she stomps off is nothing compared to the way her world is about to be rocked by Artair MacKay, the big burly hunk of gorgeous man in a kilt (yes, a kilt) who appears at the church door.  The domineering Scotsman whisks her away to parts literally unknown after Rebecca figures out she has nothing better to do at the moment.It’s a tough sell, though, when the sexy Scot tells her why he came for her: she’s no mere mortal teacher of small children – she’s actually an Amazon, born for this moment in time to help save humanity.  Say what?  Becca has a hard time swallowing this revelation, but when she winds up in mythical Avalon, life as she knows it is forever changed. Becca is one of four women born to represent the four elements:  earth (Becca), air, fire and water. They are sisters, linked in mind and spirit, and it is Artair’s job to train them to become the invincible daring warriors they were destined to be. Training Becca is a bit problematic: Artair can't help but fall in love with her, which is completely against the rules and could cost both of them everything.I had a little trouble suspending my disbelief at first. After all, how credible is a story about a somewhat petite, somewhat out-of-shape kindergarten teacher being kidnapped by a 300-year-old highlander to fight evil immortals protected by zombie hordes? Right.  And yet…I kept reading, and it all grew on me: the characters, the underlying plot, the lusty romance between the little blonde woman and the giant-economy-sized hunk.  I’m ready to read the next book in this series.
