I love Highland romances and Time Travel romances as well so putting them together and for me you have a winner of course the writing and the characters have to be spot on too otherwise it's not worth reading, in this case you truly do have a winner, I was transported to the Isle of Skye along with Claire and was drawn into the adventure as much as she was.I've often imagined what I'd be like if I was drawn back in time and how I'd act, what I'd love would be to meet a Scot like Duncan, and oh what a man he is “Had to be about six-five or six-six. Definitely had a foot on her, for sure. Blue eyes, like the kid. Long black hair that flowed in the wind. He was wearing a kilt, and had the same tartan pattern strewn across his body, shoulder to waist and held down with a belt, but no shirt beneath. A huge, defined pec peeked out and her stomach fluttered.” My heart would have fluttered too, but Duncan doesn't only look good he's also got that sincere heart that we are all looking for, I think I fell for him as he offered Claire his Tartan to cover herself but with such tact and decency.Claire is a thoroughly modern woman,who although she knows a lot about Scotland never thought she would be back in the seventeenth century there. Depends on the who I'd meet but I would miss my iPad and I don't think I'd cope as well as Claire, who's character is wonderful and another on my list of book BFF's.With Duncan and Claire being the main characters there are still some secondary characters worth mentioning, the slimed Riley the pirate captain, I'd be wanting to wipe my hand down after meeting him, and his seer who I'd be hitting if she looked at my man like that. Angus but then who wouldn't be charmed by him with his brogue and being only a child, Janet who doesn't know the meaning of the word understated especially when it comes to celebrating.This is a thoroughly enjoyable romp through time and Fae lands as well as the Isle Of Skye as they search for a missing brother. The characters and action are not only believable but you find yourself being drawn into the story, and being carried along for the ride.I received a free copy for an honest review.
