Book Description

Publication Date: May 20, 2008

Nine years ago, Faerie Magic saved Mairi MacKiernan at the cost of her dreams of happiness, snatching her from her life in 1272, and depositing her in the twenty-first century. Now, she must save the last Daughter of the MacKiernan family...who was murdered in 1295. Transported back in time at her request, Mairi finds herself captured by the same evil men as before! Is this the price the Faerie Magic requires of her this time?

Ramos Servans has dedicated his dreams to service as a Guardian, but when he discovers the evil unleashed on the Mortal Plain by his father and their people, he swears he will atone by ridding the world of Nuadian deceit. Part of his mission involves rescuing a lovely Highland lassie, and in the passion that grows between them, Ramos and Mairi find a new dream.

But falling in love can be dangerous when Faerie Magic is involved. Dreams may not be the only cost....

4.0 out of 5 stars Another awesome book by Melissa Mayhue..., July 1, 2008

This review is from: Soul of a Highlander (The Daughters of the Glen, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first. I did enjoy it more than the second book. I thought Mairi & Ramos had great chemistry together! I made myself only read about 50 pages a day-just to make it last longer, but thought about it all day long. That's the making of a great book isn't it?-thinking about it all day long when you're not reading it! I enjoy how she brings in the characters from the first two books, all the while adding more characters, possibly to fit into her next book. (which I'm anxiously awaiting!)
The one complaint I have is that the only time in her three books that she's introduced a Christian into her stories, is that she had to be portrayed as a fearful, obsessive, fanatical, over-the-top downright mean and nasty one!! And a traitor at that! Hey Melissa Mayhue, if you're reading this, Christians like reading romance novels too, and they aren't like that. :)
Can't wait for the next one as her writing is so real and tantalizing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic read by Melissa Mayhue, June 17, 2008

This review is from: Soul of a Highlander (The Daughters of the Glen, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is yet another fantastic read... the third of the series, the hero, Ramos Servans was introduced in the previous novel, as a yummy bad boy turned good.

He was definitely just as yummy in this novel, with a macho streak that makes you want one of your own!

The heroine is a pretty little time-traveler who is somehow feisty and demure at the same time.

The chemistry between the two takes a little while to build up, but when it does, it boils through the rest of the book.

I couldn't put it down, and I will definitely recommend this to my friends, and I am looking forward to reading any work she has in the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Read, May 28, 2008

This review is from: Soul of a Highlander (The Daughters of the Glen, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was disappointed that this novel was not as good as the previous two; Highland Guardian and Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband. Mairi and Ramos didn't really have that much chemistry and some of the writing during the romantic scenes was kind of cheesy. All in all it was still a decent read. I will read the next novel in the series in the hopes that it is more like the first two.
