Every now and again you just have to go to Scotland and that is where Laura Harner takes us in Highland Shift the first book in the Highland Destiny series. There is also a whole lot of shifting going on in Elena MacFarland’s life. Elena has the world by the tail. She just passed the bar exam, has a position with the Law Firm of Worthington, Tyler and Walters, is engaged to Marty Worthington son of the Worthington in the firm and lives in a beautiful townhome in Arizona. Well actually she had the world by the tail until her future father in law showed up at her townhome with an envelope that changed everything. After Elena makes a deal with the devil, her ex-fiancés father, she is on her way to Scotland as part of the deal. Let the shifting begin!Laura Harner has given us a great story that will keep you reading until the wee hours of the morning. This isn’t your typical romance where our hero, Faolan MacGailtry, knows Elena is the woman of his dreams and sweeps her off her feet. After what happened Elena she doesn’t trust men right now, even a handsome kilt wearing man. This might be a good thing because there are a lot of strange things happening when he is around.There are some great plot twists in this story! This is one of the things I enjoyed, I love it when you think you know where the story is going then it hangs a quick left turn. The characters are totally lovable well most of them, there are a few who are not so nice but they are good at what they do. The only thing about this story that caused me a little hitch was after our main characters worked things out on their relationship there was a little too much sex. I know you’re thinking, huh? The sex was written very well but later in the story they couldn’t be in the same room without getting naked. The story didn’t really need it. This is a good story and could stand on its own without it.
