this book concerns two clans/families at war--the Campbells and Lamonts. When his brother goes missing he sets out to find him and what he discovers about the Lamonts and the events around Sutton Campbell's disappearance lead to a mysterious Black Campbell who is revealed at the books climatic ending.

This book has a perfect mix of romance, action, adventure, and mystery. I was totally drawn into the awesome characters that Langan portrayed so excellently.

I found Highland Heaven at a garage sale. Intrigued by the cover art and back synopsis I bought it. A week or two later I finally got down to seriously reading it. After the first few chapters I found myself being drawn in more and more to the story unfolding. The characters are what really grabs one's imagination. The story is great as well with action, adventure, and romance being intertwined with each other masterfully.

I would love to see this made into a movie; I think it would be pefectly adaptable to the screen.

This is one great book, and will definately spark the imagination and appeal to the romantics as well as the more action oriented.

I found this book packed with exciting adventure. Shaw is torn between defending his family, his land, and the one he comes to love verses remaining a man of the cloth about to take his vows. Will he pick up a sword and fight? Read the book and find out! It's a super read.

Highland Heaven is a breathtaking book. It takes you back to a time when families were sworn ememies. Shaw and Suttons bond was magical! Merit Lamont was a true firebrand! The book was entertaining to the end. If you like a story that will break your heart as well as capture your heart, then don't miss Highland Heaven!

Actually very good. I recommend this book.

Mostly this is the story of Shaw, who is headed for the priesthood before he is derailed by the search and rescue of his twin brother, and Merritt, a woman who is strong for her whole family. It could be really trite, but it isn't. Langan writes in good situations, maintains tension, and gives side plots enough depth to enhance the whole without doing too much going-to-be-a-series junk. The romance is very well developed. It's a love that is reasonable and believable, and the outcome (sex) is satisfying.

In the background, the plot is not bad at all. The characters are strong, the motivations make sense, and I found myself caring enough about their problems that I was really trying to predict when and how the "evil" character would strike. The identity of the evil character won't be a surprise, but I was pleased that I couldn't completely anticipate the ending.

Don't get me wrong, it IS cheesy, and because it's a romance, it is required to have unrealistic sex.

If you can just get past the overwhelming cornyness of the opening chapter and ignore the accented dialogue, it's an engrossing story. I guess historical Scotland is not really my schtick, but it was easy enough to pretend like it was just a fantasy novel and the story+love was plenty strong enough to make any setting acceptable.

I absolutly loved this book. It kept me interested the whole time and had some twists I didn't expect. I loved Mrs. Langan's writing style. After I finished reading it the first time, I picked it right back up again for a second round.
