Note:

In the interest of being better able to keep this list up to date, I'm no longer going to be posting my own synopsis/comments about the books I've been reading. Instead, I'm just going to post the blurb from the cover. To be honest, it takes a lot for me to not like a book, so you can pretty well bet that only the keepers make it to my booklist.

The Highlander Series

by Janet Chapman

What is it about ancient Scotsmen that make them the ultimate alpha male?

These particular Scots have been plucked from their time and sent into ours. Once they adjusted, they thrived in the back woods of Maine, where the story starts.

Charming the Highlander
Begins with the Laird Greylen MacKeage. The Druid Pendaar casts a powerful spell to send Greylen into the future where he was destined to meet his true love, and father a child on her that would become Pendaar's heir. Unfortunately, the spell goes awry and not only Greylen and several of his warriors are sent into the future, but several of their enemies, from the MacBain clan, are transported as well. The best part of this book is that it's only the beginning of the series.

Wedding the Highlander
Tells the story of Michael MacBain, the only surviving MacBain warrior. He, too, finds himself settled in Maine, and kin to his enemy MacKeage through marriage. This story takes place several years later but loses none of it's charm in the mean time.

Loving the Highlander
Tells the story of Morgan MacKeage, continuing the magical theme that runs through the series.

Tempting the Highlander
This is the story of Robbie MacBain, Michael's son. At this point in the series the magic becomes almost as important as the highlanders, and it's Robbie's job to keep the magic alive.

Only With a Highlander
This is the story of Winter MacKeage, Greylen's seventh daughter and Pendaar's heir. The magic is beginning to die, and it's up to Winter, and Pendaar's greatest enemy, Curam, to make sure that doesn't happen.

Secrets of the Highlander
Megan MacKeage has returned home without a husband, but pregnant. There's more to the situation than she's willing to admit, and it appears that the magic isn't done with the MacKeage clan yet.
