Stay? Lose all she’s ever known. Go? Lose the love of a lifetime.
As
a struggling, 21st century farmer, Kenzie MacMartin knows if she
doesn’t recover that registered ram that cost her a bundle, her dog
won’t be the only one howling in the Highlands. And to make matters
worse, when she chases that fool sheep through a cave, she discovers a
troupe of trespassing re-enactors mucking up her land with some kind of
clan skirmish complete with realistic weapons, monstrous warhorses, and a
restless herd of Highland cows. The only upside is their strikingly
handsome leader—until he kidnaps her.
Mathias Stronach questions
his sanity in laying claim to the strangely dressed woman and her
vicious wee dog. Perhaps he should have let the MacPhersons take her
prisoner. Then, she would’ve distracted them instead of him. Such daring
and fire in this feisty lass. He’d bet his best dagger; her passions
burn just as fiercely. And that fine round backside of hers nestled
between his thighs as they ride. Makes a man think twice about choices
he’s made. Like promising to marry a woman he’s never loved so he can be
the next chieftain of Clan Stronach.
When Kenzie realizes she’s
barged into the thirteenth century, her priority is getting back to that
cave and hoping if she retraces her steps, she’ll find her way back
home. But vengeful clans, a medieval sociopath, and the mesmerizing
warrior who draws her in like a bee to sweet clover thwarts that
priority at every turn. Her head knows better. Her heart refuses to
listen.
She misses
her family, is worried about her farm, and would kill for coffee and a
toothbrush. But those aren’t the worst things about traveling back
several centuries. The worst thing is loving a man who, once she returns
to her time, will have been dead for over eight hundred years.
5 STARS
What a great story this turned out to be ! While I do enjoy some of the time travel stories others just don't measure up. It was good to see that this one did. To start with Kenzie was one fierce, hardworking, loving woman. One that was "armed" with her beloved shepherd's crook and her clever herding collie, Brodie and her stubborn, trouble making ram, Ramsey. They were not pets to her, they were loving family to her as much as her Da and many brothers. I found Brodie and Ramsey really did liven things up.
Mathias was an honorable warrior with some unnecessary weights on his shoulders. His chieftain added most of that pressure. In order to succeed him as leader Mathias had to marry his daughter, Lilias. He didn't really want to marry her but he did want to protect her and viewed her like a little sister. He's never met anyone like Kenzie before and didn't realize at first just how much of a challenge she was going to be. She gives him a run for his money.
The whole story has plenty of dangers as well as plenty of emotions. It was good to see the baddies meet their fate. And see that Mathias and Kenzie get their H.E.A. as well as Lilias does too.
I read this book through Prime Free Reading through Amazon.
