Customer Reviews

Very Well Written!

Highland Call is a spectacular book filled with adventure, romance, and suspense. I have read books of all kinds and I must say this is one that I come back to time and time again. Ms. Gillenwater develops the characters in such a way that you feel like they are your good friends. You care about what happens to each and every one of them. Unlike secular romance, Highland Call enforces good morals; but unlike many other Christian novels, the relationships are not dry and boring. The characters are Christian without being unrealistically good. They struggle with right and wrong just as each of us do. The book is well written so you can follow it easily and you don't get characters mixed up. I highly recommend it for anyone and everyone looking for a great read.

She's just amazing!

Ms. Gillenwater continues to amaze me with her tales of the Highlands. This nove truly inspires a stronger relationship with God and one another. I continue to adore Ms.Gillenwater for her talents as a novelist, and this is an example of one of her finest works. If you've skipped the novel preceeding this one, you would most likely love to read it. DO!

Very Good

This book is filled with fun, believable characters. The plot wasn't outlandish, and by the end of the book, I had began to consider Gabe and Selena as friends. I hated to see the book end!

Just as good as the first!

I have been awating this book since the first one came out and I wasn't disappointed. Once again Sharon Gillenwater has written characters that are believable. Most secular romances these days are nothing but one sex scene after another and most of the Christian romances are too virtuous to be real. Ms. Gillenwater tells a story involving emotions and passion without all of the lewd descriptions, and God is at the center of the relationship without the characters being portrayed as near-perfect people. Both the characters of Selena and Gabriel have many faults and issues that they must work through, some of which are relevent today as well. Thank you, Ms. Gillenwater for a delightful read.

High stakes plot. A Gripping tale!

This is one of the most incredibly tender and believable books I've ever read, even as it grips you in suspense. One of my favorite scenes was where Gabe and Selena discuss what would happen if he were to attend the ball. It was so amusing, poigniant and believable. I loved it.This book contains a wealth of wonderful reading, like the scene where Gabe and Selena are declaring their love, unbeknownst to each other. It evokes tears and soul-deep compassion for these two "very real" characters.Sharon's skill was really shining in this book; her logic in how the plot played out was dead-on and kept me turning those pages as if I were eating the book. The climax was full of tension and suspense, the ending beautiful and satisfying. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a great story line and characters who will be long-remembered. Sharon Gillenwater is an outstanding writer. I can't wait to read more. -Lee Emory
