Well this was an improvement from book 3 for me!! I feel like I connected with the hero & heroine better. I loved the story, it definitely kept me interested. I also loved that some of the characters from previous books had their stories expanded on. This has definitely made me want to continue with this series.My only complaint would be that I wish we got more of Ellie & Caden once they really found each other. A Highlander of Her Own(Daughters of the Glen Series Book #4)by Melissa MayhueGenre: Paranormal Romance | Time-Travel | HistoricTEXAS, PRESENT DAY. ELLIE DENTON's world has spiraled out of control. A strange new birthmark, animals talking to her, and her mother's ex-husband laying claim to the family ranch have her thinking life can't get more complicated. But Ellie doesn't know the birthmark's connection to her Faerie ancestors. Complicated takes on a whole new meaning with her innocent wish to find her true love. SCOTLAND, 1304. CADEN MACALISTER has more trouble than he can handle. With his brother held for ransomand the laird missing, the last thing he needs is another problem. But the Fae have other plans.A mysterious woman shows up in his stables, sent by Faerie Magic to find her true love. Fighting his attraction, Caden insists she's meant for one of his brothers. With his history, he has no desire for a woman in his life—especially a woman sent by the Fae.Only the magic of the Fae can determine whether Ellie will find a Highlander of her own...Ellie has had to deal with a lot of shocking things recently: her Mother passed away, she's getting a new birthmark medically tested, her ranch is in danger of falling into the wrong hands, and suddenly she's communicating with animals. On top of all that, she even finds herself stuck in another place and time that isn't exactly Texas. She soon learns 'words' are a lot more powerful than one thinks and sets herself on a mission to discover her future soul-mate by accepting the past.I love time-travel romances (plus adding faeries and highlanders makes it even more exciting) and on my trip to Texas for Easter . . . I thought reading about Texas would be enjoyable, but I found this tale almost too silly. Personally, I'm just beginning Mayhue's Daughter of the Glen series and while some books have really held my attention, this one just feel flat and was rather boring throughout. The characters of Caden and Ellie's were to drastically different that it was hard for me to really get evolved in their romance and to become absorbed in their story.I felt the book skipped a lot of character development and because of that I really missed out on feeling emotions toward the leads in the story. Ellie was just too accepting of her situation that it was just so unbelievable and Caden too stubborn of his future that they just didn't mesh well together. Plus, I am NOT a fan of dogs in story (sorry dog lovers!) so I would skip ahead many of the parts that included Ellie's Missy & Baby. Ugh! There were a few interesting parts of A Highlander of Her Own that I liked, (the bath house scenes-being one) but all in all - it was a bore (love scenes included!)Likes: The side-character, Dair Maxwell, added some much needed entertainment to the tale.Dislikes: I wanted more of a well-rounded ending for Ellie and for her to personally get revenge on Ray back in present-time Texas, but how it was written out was just not what I liked. I could have imagined many other/betters endings.
What do You think about A Highlander Of Her Own (2009)?
It was so good I loved every second of it could not put it down I recomend it to everyone

Even with all the loose ends at the end it was the best of the series.
