Book Review - Highland Protector by Catherine Bybee - MaCcoinnich Time Travel Series

I do not generally read supernatural or fantasy books, but this series has had me wanting more since the beginning.  Amber MacConnich has been forced to be separated from her family for her safety and in hopes of finding what will save her from death.   Time is running out when two other time travelers arrive unexpectedly.   As the solution becomes clear, choices have to be made about what can be sacrificed and tolerated to save her life. The latest in the MaCcoinnich Time Travel series was a great installment in the series and left me wanting to know more about what is going on with Cian!   I feel like I've been waiting forever for Amber's story, and Bybee did not disappoint me at all.   This is such a different feel from her Contemporary romance series', The Weekday Brides and Not Quite, but the romance is still there along with the time travel and highlander men!    In addition to Amber, we get to spend time with old favorites like Jake, Simon, H...

Book Review - Summer is for Lovers by Jennifer McQuiston

This is the next book in the series I reviewed a couple of weeks ago.  While I really enjoyed the first book, I found I enjoyed this one even more. The book takes place in the same world as What Happens In Scotland, but this time David has gone down to Brighton for an extended holiday with his Mother.  This also happens to be the same place he had previously attempted to take his life 11 years earlier and had been saved by a local girl.  They meet again on the same beach, and strike-up a friendship knowing nothing more can happen because he is unwilling to fall in love again and she needs to find a husband with more financial security.  At least that is the plan. While this is the second book in the Avon series, this book stands alone well.  The same humor is there from What Happens in Scotland, but this book expands upon all of the elements that were present in the previous book and this time knocks them out of the park.  The humor is still there,...

Book Review - What Happens in Scotland by Jennifer McQuiston

This book is best described as The Hangover meets Jane Austen.  This was a challenging task, but McQuiston absolutely hit it out of the park.  She had me on the first page.  I found myself reading half of it out loud to my less than appreciative husband because I was laughing so hard. Romance - 4 stars The romance in this book was good.  It felt a little rushed at times, and I wasn't always sure if the heroine was wanting a relationship or if she wasn't.  Neither did she, so that was probably the point, but sometimes the story felt a little wishy-washy because of it.  I was getting a little frustrated 1/3 of the way into the book when they main characters had not really met yet, but once they did there was no doubt that I wanted these two to get together in the end, and the way it happened was perfect. Plot - 5 stars The plot in this book was solid.  McQuiston did a great job putting several different smaller story-lines into play, and...
