Tempting the Highlander

Loved this book. Must read all the books in this story line to appreciate. Each one feeds off the next - but each is good on its own. Very enjoyable read!

If you want to laugh - read this book! If you want to cry - read this book! If you like stories about things that matter - read this book! If you think family is important - read this book! I could go on and on and on with the "If you" because no matter what you are looking for, this book has it.

The Guardian gets a guardian

Robbie McBaine is perplexed, someone is stealing eggs from his hen house. As guardian of two clans, and foster father to four high-spirited boys, the last thing Robbie needs is one more complication. That is until he lays eyes on his complication. Catherine a single mother on the run from an abusive ex is one complication Robbie is thinking he will enjoy. However, our favorite priest/wizard, Father Dar has other ideas. It seems the spell he cast that brought Robbie's family into the future is about to expire and Robbie must hold true to being the guardian of the family and save his father and uncles from returning to their own time and leaving their families behind. Well written, this book is a satisfying edition to the series. I look forward to Winter's story next. I hope we do not have too long to wait. Diane Griffith

Humor, Time Travel and Romance - Perfect!

I have read all of Chapman's books and never been disappointed. Tempting the Highlander was another fantastic story. Robbie is a big loveable guy. I liked Caroline, too. She grows from being afraid to learning how to defend herself. This was a good, satisfying, hard to put down story.

Superb Storytelling!

Robbie MacBain is a man on several missions - keeping four foster boys in line and safe from food-poisoning, desperately searching for a housekeeper who can handle his lot, running a successful business, watching out for his two families. If that's not enough, he also has to keep the crazy old "priest" Pendaar from causing all kinds of havoc, who by the way has just casually informed him of a book of spells he needs to keep Robbie's father and uncles from storming back to the thirteenth century. Trouble is that Robbie has to travel back to the said century to fetch him his book. Whew! Did I mention he must also deal with a mysterious woman stealing eggs from his henhouse? Catherine Daniels is a woman on the run from her ex-husband, who has two small children and not many places left to hide. She cannot bare a man's touch, but tries to survive in a household of five males for the sake of her children. The very tall, handsome and extremely male Mr. MacBain is a contradiction, in many ways, to the opinions Catherine upholds about men. However, she certainly recognizes a Guardian angel when she has found one, and "naturally" she wows to watch this angel's back. Great adventures and a burning passion unfold as temptation tries to outweigh all logic and reasoning. Ms. Chapman is quite a story teller, and she gets better at it with each new book. Her scenes simply pushed me from one chapter into the next, and before I knew it I had read the book from cover-to-cover. Overall the journey is unmistakably captivating; however the romantic destination might have arrived somewhat too hastily. I think the fans of Janet Chapman's Highlander series will undoubtedly enjoy Robbie's story, and the next stage in the MacKeage/MacBain saga. I just cannot wait to read Winter MacKeage's story...
