Very highly recommended

Cameron briefly rouses to the sound of the hospital machines that keep him alive before the light draws him to another place. When he awakens, he finds himself at the foot of a rockslide without his memory. Cameron knows he is not part of the fifteenth century in which he awakens, but he cannot recall the life he left behind. Yet a recurring nightmare of car accident and a screaming woman insure his discontent with his new life and his need for resolution.In the meantime, Cameron finds himself caught in intricate plots of revenge between highland clans. The man whose body he occupies is married to Marjory, who detests him. She recognizes that her husband's survival of the rockslide is miraculous, but she certainly does not suspect the truth of his identity. Nevertheless, Marjory is terribly suspicious of his radical changes in behavior, especially toward her. She certainly does not expect to fall in love with Cameron. Author Dee Davis has a gift for penning romances that are impossible to put down. Switching from her usual romantic suspense to time travel, Davis displays the range of her talent in WILD HIGHLAND ROSE. Interestingly, Davis bases the premises of the novel on a historical concept that contemporary readers will initially find shocking. Between Cameron's inability to pinpoint what has happened to him and other people's reactions, readers will discover plenty of amusing entertainment. Moreover, Davis deftly captures the painful difficulty a woman married to her enemy must face because Cameron is so good to her. Add this one to your keeper shelf! WILD HIGHLAND ROSE comes very highly recommended.

confusing but good

I picked this book up at the book store, because the summary got my attention. However, no where in the summary did it mention that it was a time travel book. I read the preface and the first three or four chapters and the only date that was mention at the beginning of chapter 1 was 1468. I started reading and things like Charles Dickson, tv, and other things that you would see in everyday life. Not until the end did it mention to the 21 century. The story was good and I enjoyed it, but I have to admit it that it confused me.

This one will leave you wanting more.

Cameron emerges from darkness to find himself in a strange world with no memory. He learns that he is in the distant past, in Scotland. Although he does not know who he is, he is sure that he is not Ewan Cameron, nor does he belong here. What's more confusing is he finds himself married to a beautiful woman who hates him, and with good reason. Apparently, he and Marjory were married to settle a family feud, after blood was shed between their clans. Tensions rise when his "family" and mistress arrive. The feud may be settled, but that has not made this a loving family.Marjory is totally confused. Cameron seems like a new man since his awakening from a near fatal "accident". Gradually, she finds herself drawn to this man who should be her enemy. Before the two realize what is happening, they have fallen in love, but the shadow of the future past lies between them, and present animosities roil around them.**** Put the soundtrack to Brigadoon on and enjoy the ride. Ms. Davis has delicately crafted a beautiful story that will leave you wanting more. Ties of love that defy time and space make this border on an inspirational story. If you loved Somewhere in Time but wanted it to be a happier story, then this will dry your tears. ****Reviewed by Amanda.

A clear winner!

Cameron saw himself floating toward a light and then suddenly opened his eyes with no memory. Somehow he knows that he is in the wrong century. His dreams tell him of being in an automobile and of a screaming blond woman. Yet he is in Scotland and the year is 1468. His beautiful wife is Marjory. She is full of spirit and loathes him! He resides in Crannag Mhór with no one he can trust.Marjory is grateful her husband survived the "accident". If he had not, the Cameron clan would have slaughtered her people. However, her husband has not been the same since he woke up and claimed to remember nothing. She is surprised to find herself liking the new Cameron and begins to fall in love. **** I am so used to Dee Davis writing Romantic Suspense novels that this one stunned me for a few pages. This time Davis tries her hand at a Historical Time Travel and her talent for suspense makes it a clear winner! Wonderful story by an awesome author! ****

delightful time travel tale

Not quite comprehending what is happening to him, Cameron floats towards the light. When he regains consciousness, he has no memory of his past, but feels as if something is not right due to a recurring nightmare. He dreams of an automobile and a screaming woman, but in mid fifteenth century Scotland cars were not even a flicker of anyone's imagination.Cameron learns that he is married to Marjory as part of ending a clan feud, but she clearly detests him as his side killed her parents several years ago. Marjory knows that her spouse's recovery from the rockslide accident that buried and obviously killed him is miraculous because this prevented the genocide of her clan by his. However, she finds her husband radically changed as he cares what happens to everyone and he looks at her with desire, neither of which he displayed before the incident. She wonders if he really suffers from amnesia or if this is just another ploy. Yet he seems genuine as Marjory finds her worst nightmare has occurred: she loves her mate.Dee Davis displays the range of her talent as she switches sub-genres from her usual powerful romantic suspense tales to a delightful time travel novel. The key to the story line is Cameron who knows nothing seems right, but cannot fathom why. The reactions of everyone to his seemingly changed behavior as he is suddenly considerate of others is fun to see play out. Readers will take much delight observing the bewildered cast especially his wife struggle to comprehend what is happening to Cameron and how to react to his radical transformation.Harriet Klausner
