Another wonderful Joanne Wadsworth book, as this is book two in The Highlander Heat Series. I have also read and reviewed both Highlander's Captive novella which is a prequel to the series and Highlander's Castle book one in the series. You can read in series order or as a stand alone books. I like to read all my books in series order, but that's a personal choice.The book starts actually in present day Isle of Islay, Scotland where orphaned twins Marie and Katherine MacLean recently lost their mother to cancer visit the ruins of Dunyvaig Castle which were their MacDonald ancestor's. Also Marie, heroine of this story and the eldest of the twins wears a four hundred amulet she inherited f'rom ancestor Mary MacClean MacDonald. The amulet had been passed down to her eldest daughter until it's once again came into the possession of a MacLean which was the twins's father's side. As these two feuding clans of the past should of come into peace once Mary MacLean married Chief Angus MacDonald as many feuding clan's did back then, yet the fighting continued. This also had been Marie and Katherine's Mum's past wish for the sister's to visit Dunyvaig Castle with the amulet but beyond that they had no idea.Katherine wanted an adventure so they entered the fairie circle and that is when things get fascinating in the book and a veil appears due to a wish from a handsome warrior of the past and pulls Marie into the past. I could feel the sizzling connection as soon as Marie set her eyes on her handsome highland warrior Archie MacDonald who insists she's one of the fae to come to help his clan. No matter how many times she explains to him she is from the future, all he wants to do is kill his enemy Chief Lachlan Maclean. Archie is acting chief as Angus their chief is imprisoned by the Kings order. The King too wants all this feudingBy the clans to end.If Archies kills Lachlan MacClean it will end the MacLean paternal line which would mean 21st century Katherine and Marie MacLean would no longer exist. Of course it is like banging your head against the wall. Besides that Marie is also worried about her sister who did not come on this journey with her but knew would be waiting for her at the fairy circle in present time. Marie's plate is full plus falling in love with Archie Campbell on top of everything else.For Archie he would like to keep his fairy forever but knows she longs to get back to her sister and knows his heart will broken once she leaves. He feels he must kill Lachlan MacClean for revenge and will not believe she has that strong a connection to Lachlan even though Marie keeps repeating she will dies if Lachlan dies! So will that be the end of the MacLean paternal line?  No more Katherine and Marie MacLean? You will have to read this adventurous, captivating and fun read and find out the outcome of this story.You will find some humorous parts too, like when Marie tries to explain 21st century birth control to a 16th century highlander was hilarious!I look forward to Ms. Wadsworth next book in the Highlander Heat Series "Highlander's Charm" which will be book three and is to be released in October 2014. I can't wait!~B
