Product Description

CURL UP BY THE FIRE WITH THIS DELECTABLE NEW HIGHLANDER HOLIDAY NOVELLA FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JANET CHAPMAN 

Camry MacKeage has absolutely no intention of telling her parents that she left her job as a NASA physicist for the small-town life of a dog-sitter—which is why she’s spending the holidays alone in coastal Maine with her furry friends Tigger and Max. Unfortunately, her irresistibly handsome rival, scientist Luke Pascal, accidentally spilled the beans. Now he’s on a mission from her mother to tempt Camry home for the family’s annual winter solstice celebration. But Luke is hiding his own secret, and he’ll need a little bit of magic to earn Camry’s trust . . . and a whole lot of mistletoe to seduce his way into her heart.

I found "A Highlander for Christmas" to be an utterly delightful and even moving read. The whole book reads like a breeze with it's likeable characters and easy to follow plot. The story had me in tears at times, and mind you, I don't tear up easily when I read a romance. Though the book is a stand alone and I certainly recommend it to anyone, I think any fans of Ms. Chapman should definitely pick this one up, particularly if they want a nice holiday treat filled with magic and miracles that will bring them back to visit the McKeage clan. I sure hope there are more books to come in this lovely series... would definitely love to read Fiona's story!

This review is from: A Highlander Christmas (Mass Market Paperback)

French rocket scientist Luke Pascal Renoir and NASA physicist Dr. Camry MacKeage have been exchanging emails. However, she quits NASA as magic and science seems a poor mix. Camry flees to Maine where she becomes a dog sitter whose BFFs are Tigger and Max.

Jack Stone and Camry's parents rescue Luke from certain death due to a blizzard on their frozen mountain top. The outsider mentions his corresponded with Camry shocking her family with her former and present occupation as they thought she was working in Florida. He further explains she said no to his request to collaborate on an ion propulsion model and abruptly stopped responding when he said he would like to meet her in the States. Luke went to NASA but she had quit. Her mom demands Luke amend his transgression by persuading Camry to come home to celebrate the solace with her family. He will learn a little bit of magic and a lot of love makes the heart pump faster.

The latest MacKeage whimsical romance stars the first daughter Camry who struggles with magic vs. science especially her heritage and Renoir. From the opening scene when the matriarch Dr. Grace welcomes a frozen Luke into the family while the patriarch Grey wants to leave him exposed to the blizzard, the cast makes for an engaging holiday time. Although long time fans will notice some similarity to Secrets of the Highlander, Janet Chapman cleverly spins the tale differently so that readers will enjoy celebrating A HIGHLANDER CHRISTMAS in Maine.
