Another cute story :)I was expecting more to do with fairies and folklore type stories - but I'm grateful there wasn't :)The book starts off as we meet Dermot - the Druid Laird - and we learn about the curse that has taken over the 13 men in his Clan for 1,600 years.When Mairead offered herself to him to be his wife in the fifth century, Dermot didn't know what to do - He was tossed away when he was born, given to the Druid Priests, Then dragged away to be be trained as a warrior and lead his clan - something he never wanted to do,  The only thing that he understood was that being married to Mairead would bring his clan and the fairies together, and give him power.Mairead's mother Aine made it clear that if they were to marry, he had to protect Miread with everything he had...And he did - but they got to her anyway- killing Miread and their almost to term unborn child, Aine was quit upset. She cursed Dermot and his men for immorality - they will never die... that is until Dermot asked the King Fairie (Miread's grandfather) for help. When The King realized that Aine was summoned to help Miread when she was dying, and didn't respond, the King gave Dermot an out with the curse... He must return the reincarnated soul of Miread to the scene she died ...So here we are in the 21st century (give or take) and Dermot finally found her - Miread's reincarnated soul reborn. He was planning on her being a baby, they flew to the USA to offer the family a free trip to Scotland, but he was shocked to learn that she wasn't a child.. she was a 26 year old woman - even though she looked nothing like Miread, he knew just by looking into her eyes, without a doubt, it was her soul...WELL getting Sydney (Miread's new name) to Scotland was a little tricky. She refused to have lunch with him, he came to her work and barged his way into changing her mind. When they got to lunch, she refused to believe his tale about being 1,600 years old,Next day, he tried to take her out again... and again she refused.The chase of the game was pretty fun to read - Dermot is defiantly an Alpha Worrier type - being from the 5th century, and living a long life, he didn't know much about women. His mother died at birth, he was given away to the Druid Priests, and then taught to fight and lead - he never had the knowledge of love, or romance, or anything of the sort.. so of course he had no idea how to get Sydney to abide to him...This was a cute book with a lot of fun humour -
