Great book, and a great story

I could not put it down, I read it in one day (over the weekend) I like all the characters and most important that the lady of the story is not one immature and always doubting herself. Not here, Kira is anything but immature or doubtful. She flies across the world to come and find her true love.

Great read

This was a great read, fast and funny. I am looking forward to many more books from her.

Native Philadelphian Kira Bedwell is touring Scotland and convinces her bus driver to let her make an unscheduled stop at Castle Wrath, then double back and pick her up. While exploring the ruins, she sees a mysterious Highlander who flirts, kisses her lightly, and then disappears. Some members of Kira's family have the gift of far seeing, the ability to see people and events from the distant past, so she's not very surprised by the otherworldly encounter. Kira is unable to get the sexy Highlander out of her mind and spends the next twelve years dreaming about him, and in those dreams, he does luscious things to her body. She finally has an opportunity to return to Scotland, where she'll be gathering research information about fairy mounds that are rumored to be time portals. As she gets closer to the ruins of Castle Wrath, she feels her Highlander calling to her from 1315 AD. She stumbles upon a time portal and finds herself face to face with Aidan MacDonald, the man she has already grown to love. For Aidan, Kira's return is a dream come true and he knows she is the woman who is meant to share the rest of his life. Neither can believe they're together at last. Their union is not without peril, however. Aidan battles a cousin who is plotting to kill him, and Kira's sudden appearance causes Aiden's men to think she's a witch. With both their lives in peril, they need to find a way to escape the danger that's closing in on them. Allie Mackay's Highlander In Her Dreams is inspired by several well-loved locales in Scotland, as well as local lore. The love she has for the land and its people is quite evident, and she does a marvelous job of conveying that love to her readers. She writes in such a way that we are transported across time and space, and can almost smell the heather and feel the warmth of the peat fires in the hearth. This book is related to Ms. Mackay's previous release, Highlander In Her Bed, but it can easily be read as a stand-alone. This is a sweeping timeless passion full of delicious sensuality and a touch of wicked hot sex. Kira and Aidan are infinitely likeable, and Aidan could win a "Sweetest Hero Ever" award hands down. Highlander In Her Dreams is a riveting tale from start to finish. Very highly recommended. As a side note, Allie Mackay is a pen name for well-known and much loved author Sue-Ellen Welfonder. 4 1/2 Kisses, 1 Pepper ~Lindy Reviewer, TwoLips Reviews, LLC www.TwoLipsReviews.com

Sexy fun escape

I loved this book. What a fun fantasy escape! I read the previous book and loved it as well. I espcially liked the mix of modern female characters with the old fashioned archetype alpha male. Great fun and yes I agree with some reviewers that it is lightweight, but THAT"S THE POINT! It's supposed to be an entertaining escape. Loved it and will likely re-read it! Looking forward to the next book!

Awesome Sequel

The brief description on the back doesn't begin to tell the story within. The beginning of the book is a little odd, but it gets better fast. I really enjoyed this sequel and can't wait till the third book comes out.

Sexy Time Travel

Be prepared to not only step back in time with the heroine, Kira Bedwell, but also see Scotland as it truly is. While reading the book, I could almost smell the peat fires from the crofters' huts and see the mist rising from the Highlands. I was transported as much so as Kira! Now for the juicy details: Aidan MacDonald is a hero's hero. Everything a Medieval clan chieftain should be but with all the tenderness and compassion a woman would want. Kira and Aidan fall deeply in love and there is nothing in their way but a small matter of about seven hundred years. Oh, and a maniacal relative bent on murder. However, nothing will stand in the way when a love like theirs will last throughout the ages. There are several plot twists that left me guessing and a bit of action to keep up the pace. The main focus is the love story which is poignantly written and brought a tear to my eye on more than one occasion. There are also cameos of past characters throughout. I have a soft spot for Alex and Hardwin (-wick). Fans of Allie MacKay aka Sue-Ellen Welfonder will enjoy the classic Scottish dialogue and banter which left me laughing out loud and of course the hot sensual tension and love scenes. For anyone who wants to spend a day, or a few hours, in Scotland, read this book and it will take you there. A definite keeper for me. From my BnN review.
