I recently finished this 13th book in Marti Talbott's Highlander Series, which I loved.  After completing it, I had to go back and re-read the entire series again.How can I begin to describe Marti Talbott's Highlander Series of books?  I can tell you that once you begin, you will lose track of time, forget the real world around you and lose yourself in a world so beautifully created that you long to become a part of it.  I can tell you that you will laugh, cry, fear, worry and end up with a smile on your face, even sometimes through your tears, each and every time.  I can tell you that you that the books will haunt you and you will fiercely yearn for the next one. I can tell you that you will never be disappointed and will become a lifelong fan of someone who is so talented and gifted in crafting these stories as to amaze.  I can tell you that the dialogue is beautifully written and the stories are heartwarming.  I can tell you that, from the very first book, you will be able to follow one family, through four generations.  I can tell you these and many, many more reasons to pick up the entire series.  For I guarantee that, you too, will find yourself immersed in a real world, with real problems, with sometimes difficult solutions, but always leaving you with a smile in your heart.As of the writing of this review, I have completed my re-read of the entire series (Books 1-13).  The experience was just as incredible as the first time I read these fantastic books.  I laughed and I cried.  But, as with my initial read, I was left with a smile in my heart.  And, even though I knew what was coming, I could not put these amazing books down. I was fully invested in the lives of the Clan MacGreagor, delighting in their triumphs, fearing for their lives during times of crisis and feeling incredible sadness at the passing of a beloved character.  Given that this series spans four generations of a family, that is going to happen.  However, the MacGreagors keep their ancestors alive in their hearts (and ours) by remembering and passing the stories down from one generation to another.I'm sad to finish my re-read; however, I know that in a year or two, I will pick up the books once more and visit with my beloved MacGreagors again.  And, of course, I look forward to the time when Ms. Talbott adds another book to this wonderful series.Little did I realize that when I first picked up "Marti Talbott's Highlander Series:  Anna, Rachel and Charlet" as a free book on Amazon three years ago, I would find myself immersed in a world of a medieval Highlander clan that I never wanted to leave.  Or, that I would find such heartwarming, unique stories.  I simply cannot say enough about these books.I said this before and I will say it again:  "There is no place I'd rather be than in that glen deep in the Highlands on the back of a wild Black Stallion with my beloved MacGreagors."  It is still true on my second read of this lovely series of books.
