The Magic Of Highland Dragons (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
This book was hard to rate. I was enjoying the first half of the book about 65% of the way through it started going downhill for me. The heroine is from the 21st century but you wouldn't know it from the way she acts. She would make a stand against the hero to assert herself but not about anything that really mattered. The "romance" wasn't really that enthralling either. Overall it was okay I guess so I gave it 3 stars. While cataloging artifacts, Faith finds a Celtic ring. Or maybe the ring finds her. Fascinated by it, Faith takes the ring home and when she tries it on, she suddenly wakes up far away from home. Hundreds of years and across the Atlantic ocean, to be precise. She's taken to Bren, the Laird of MacCoinnaich, who is sworn to protect her. He promises to give her lodging and to ensure that no one lays a hand on her. Bren doesn't realize how difficult it might be to keep that promise. He's irresistibly drawn to Faith, and though he doesn't suspect that she is the soul mate he's dreamed of, everyone else seems to realize the truth--Faith and Bren are meant to be together. I really enjoyed this book. The undeniable chemistry between Bren and Faith made this one of the best romance novels I've read in a while. I loved the way the author continuously ratcheted up the tension, and then for one reason or another, pulled back and made Bren and Faith wait a little longer for the ultimate moment between them. And, yes, it was worth the wait. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of time-travel plots, but I was satisfied by the magical explanation behind this tale. The fantasy aspects of this novel were very well done, and though I enjoyed the added bonus of magic, the romance still took front and center in this book. For those who like fantasy, romance, and Scottish tales, this story is definitely for you.
What do You think about The Magic Of Highland Dragons (2000)?
Time travel with a twist. I didn't like it enough to read the 2nd book in the series.
