RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Touring the ruins of a castle while on a trip to Scotland, Kira Bedweld comes face-to-face with a medieval clan chieftain. From then on, her dreams are haunted by the sexy Scot, Aidan MacDonald. The experience awakens in her the ability to far-see. Years later, as a paranormal investigator, she is sent back to Scotland where she finds herself transported back in time where once again, she finds herself face-to-face with Aidan MacDonald.

Aidan can hardly believe the woman of his dreams is there in his castle. He decides to woo her and win her love. Unfortunately, accusations of witchcraft and an attack from Aidan's enemies mean to stand in the way of their happiness.

In this imaginative and fascinating tale, HIGHLANDER IN HER DREAMS, Allie Mackay takes the reader from present day back in time to fourteenth century Scotland. There, she spins a magical tale where a modern woman falls in love with a medieval Scottish chieftain. The thrilling action and the many dangers that present themselves from the beginning, held me spellbound until the very end.

Kira is a modern day woman that dreams of a man that lives in the past. When she finds herself back in time, she does not fit in and things do not go smoothly for her. The only thing she likes in this medieval era is Aidan. Her attraction for him only grows stronger. Faced with danger from Aidan's enemies and the superstitions of the people, Kira finds herself missing her own time.

Aidan is the sexy, medieval, Scottish chieftain with all the responsibilities that come with the title. He is delighted that Kira has found her way to him. Now that he has her, he is determined to never let her go. He wins hearts with his determination to keep her safe. When it comes to sending her back to her time, he does not want to let her go. With the strength of their love I could only hope that they would find a way to be together.

The medieval era is brought to life in this exciting tale through the detailed descriptions of the clothing and the castle setting in this story. Allie Mackay does not paint an overly romantic view; instead, she represents this era as it truly existed. She describes a dirty, foul-smelling place where little conveniences existed and where people were ruled by their superstitions. The one thing in this story that has not changed over the years is in the way men and women demonstrate their feelings for one another. Kira and Aidan share amazing chemistry. Their love burns passionately through the pages of this sexy romance. The fascinating mix of exciting action and passionate romance makes HIGHLANDER IN HER DREAMS by Allie MacKay a real keeper.
