What is this world he has awoken into--where metal "monsters" roar down smooth stone paths and people parade in unfamiliar costumes? Where is the home that once stood on this pile of ancient rubble? And who is this woman who sees him when no one else can . . . and who stirs the fire in his soul?

Return of the Highlander

I really like thse Highlander books by Sara Mackenzie. I find them fun and easy to read.I don't believe in time travel, but these books make me want to try it out.

Return... you will enjoy

Without going into the plot which you will be able to read from the above description, I would highly recommend this book to all who love a love story. Strong characters with indeed many flaws. So human that they make you want them to succeed, learn, grow, and love together. It is a feel good novel. Isn't that why we buy these type of books anyway ? One warrior's search. The right woman. A great romance. Maybe 4, 5, or 6 more to exact....SARA are you listening ?!! Anyway, I recommend all three of MacKenzie's 'Immortal Warrior' series...

Thoroughly Enjoyed, great paranormal story!

My sister loaned me this book, but I'm afraid she won't get it back - I'm putting it on my keeper shelf! I loved it. The cover is gorgeous, the back blurb enticing, the first pages grabbed my attention and I was hooked throughout. The characters are believable and likable. The Highland setting is a favorite of mine. The story tells how the power of love bring together the heroine, Bella, and the man of her dreams -- what she thinks is her fantasy lover --the Black Maclean. I've been reading and loving time travels since the '80's and this one is a grand example. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to others by this author!

Pleasantly surprised

I really didn't know what to expect from this book as I have not read any of Mackenzie's books. This was a very interesting take on Scottish history that weaved together ancient superstitions and beliefs and the modern world. I loved the concept of the "sleeping" warriors who will have a story to tell. My one small complaint would be in the length of time it took for Maclean to have a complete corporal body. Outside of that I loved the chemistry and relationship between Bella and Maclean. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series.

terrific paranormal romance

The Fiosaiche Gaelic sorceress awakens The Black Maclean, Chieftain of Fasail, from his two and a half plus century death sleep to give him a final chance to correct his arrogant deeds that led to so many dead. He last walked the earth in 1746, but now finds metal monsters moving at incredible speeds and his Highland Castle Drumaird in ruins. No one sees him, but he observes all and wonders how a ghost can correct the past. Arabella "Bella" Ryan and her boyfriend Brian reside in Drumaird Cottage while she researches the Black MacLean for a historical book she is writing. However, , her obsession over Maclean drives Brian away though she feels it was more her increasing assertiveness from scholarly mouse to roaring lioness that sent him off as she refused to listen to his criticism of her any longer However, she becomes concerned when she begins to see the Black MacLean in her dreams. As he tries to obtain her help, they begin to fall in love with her assuming he is her fantasy lover and he believing she is his salvation. Can a born again with passion ghost and a recently converted to self-assurance mortal find the path to happiness perhaps with the matchmaking seamstress skills of a Fiosaiche. The first Immortal Warriors tale, RETURN OF THE HIGHLANDER, is a terrific paranormal romance that uses elements normally seen in a time travel tale to tell the story of the redemption power of love. Bella and Maclean make a delightful star-crossed couple who fall in love, but both know that in spite of their haunting one another there is no future. Readers will treasure Sara Mackenzie's first-rate novel that makes believers out of us skeptics who scoff at the PASSIONS OF THE GHOST Harriet Klausner
