When I read historical romances like this, one of the main things I look for besides the romance is immersion in the world surrounding it.  Highlander's Embrace definitely doesn't disappoint in those regards.  Right from the start, I was pulled into this Scottish Historical world in a real and wonderful way.I loved this story so much, too!  Besides the historical world aspects being really amazing, the plot is interesting and exciting, too.  There's a lot going on in it, with different angles that you don't initially expect.  It's a fun story, but it's a serious sort of one, too.Elyn is a really interesting character.  I loved her thought process and the various interactions she had with all of the characters.  I thought she was deep and poignant, and I especially liked when she ended up meeting Gavin.  There was an immediate connection there, but not unreal or trite, you know?  The whole thing was just exciting to me!  I definitely rooted for them.This story does have a lot of the common things you'd look for in a Scottish historical romance, but it's so much more, too.  A lot of it is a unique and fresh take on similar themes that I think any historical romance reader will really enjoy.  I'd highly recommend checking it out if you like historical romance, and especially if you want some fun conflict and sexual tension.  It's a great story!
