A Highlander's Homecoming (Daughters of the Glen, Book 6)

Product Description SCOTLAND, PRESENT DAY. When Faerie Magic swept Robert MacQuarrie forward in time, modern medicine saved him from a fatal wound. But he also left behind an unfulfilled vow -- to protect his friend's young daughter, Isabella. Haunted by guilt for more than a decade, he leaps at the chance to go back and keep that vow. The magic of the Fae works in its own mysterious ways, however. Not only does his homecoming turn out to be twenty years after he left, but there's also that tricky matter of the fate he escaped before. SCOTLAND, 1292. Isabella MacGahan has reluctantly chosen a lonely existence, scorned for her Faerie blood and uncon-trollable power. When she's caught in a conflict between clans, a pawn in the struggle for power and land, her only option is to trust a handsome stranger. One who swears he was charged with her safety a full twenty years before...although the deluded man seems little older than her. No one is safe when Mortal schemes and Faerie magic push Robbie and Isabella to confront their worst fears. Will the magic demand the ultimate price from them both -- or will they find their true homecoming in each other's arms? About the Author Melissa Mayhue knows a great deal about men -- after all, she's wife to one and mother of three. She and her family live in Colorado, in the shadow of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, with three insanely spoiled dogs, one domineering cat, a turtle with an attitude, and way too many fish in their aquarium. I think this book and all the books in this series are absolutely great and worth reading.

Great read!

Without going into what you can already read for yourself above, this is truely a wonderful highland love story. Both characters, Robbie & Isa, are strong and believable and secondary ones add to the plot. Don't let this one pass you by. Two thumbs up :0]

A 13th century King's Knight takes it all in stride..........

I really liked Robert's story. We are treated to the gentler side of this knight that has been twined in Faerie Magic since Book 1. As he said in the last book "the sooner you accept it the sooner you can move on." I liked his Isabella ( yes another fiery redhead) Their attraction is well built and if not as good as Conner and Cate-it is better than Jesse and Sarah----plus--we even get to see a bit more of Leah's personality-along with the depths of her Faerie Gift. Getting to know the McAllister/McKiernan's through the last 5 books (especially Roselyn) I kinda missed any 13th century interaction with them in this book. I eagerly await Colin and Drew's stories-I do hope she still has plans to see to their happiness. It seems like there is soooo much more in store for us with these Highlanders and I hate leaving them hanging out there............. (spoiler***)I look forward to more development of Jamie MacQuarrie as well as the other children in the 21st century

enchanting romantic fantasy

In 1272 Scotland heroic Robert MacQuarrie is dying from battle wounds. However, because of his valiantly risking his life to keep others safe, Faerie propel him into the present day where modern medicine saves his life. His only regret over the next decade living in the twenty-first century was his inability to keep young Isabella MacGahan safe as he had pledged to her dying father Thomas who saved his life; death had prevented him from fulfilling his oath. The fey asks for a volunteer to return to the thirteenth century so Robbie jumps at the chance hoping he can still achieve his vow. However, he ends up 1292 where he meets a now adult Isabella who has faerie powers that has left her a pariah and with no understanding of what she possesses. When he explains to her who he is, she scoffs at his contention. However, as he tries to keep her safe from a hostile clan dispute, his wounds from two decades earlier leaving him dying. Only Isabella combining her fey power with her love can save his life. The latest Daughters of the Glen romantic fantasy (see A Highlander's Destiny and Soul of the Highlander) is an enchanting entry filled with a terrific time paradox twist as the hero can fulfill his pledge except the girl he is to protect is now a beautiful woman by the time he has come back to her. The lead couple makes the tale with their respective emotional problems as he feels he is betraying his friend by falling in love with Thomas' daughter and she believes she is unworthy of love due to her paranormal proclivity. A Highlander's Homecoming is another master mage Melissa Mayhue's marvelous medieval romance. Harriet Klausner
