review 1: I did not enjoy this book as much as the earlier ones in this series, but it was still okay.Texas, present day and Ellie Denton's mother has recently died and her ex husband has just moved to make a claim on her home so she goes out on her property to think and before she knows it she turns up in Scotland in 1304 - what a shock! Recently a rasberry coloured mark has turned up on her chest and her afinity to talk to animals has become stronger - she figured there was something wrong with her but she never would have guessed that this has happened because she is decended from the Fae.Scotland, 1304 and Caden MacAlister comes across a strange woman in his home, it doesn't take him long to realise that she is from another time and this has something to do with his Fae ancestr... morey. He has been thwarted in love has vowed never to be with another woman. The Fae and his mother have other ideas.The MacAlister's are sheep farmers and Ellie comes to their rescue with a cure for foot rot and along the way Caden's brother and cousin are kidnapped for a ransome and his best friend betrays him.
review 2: It wasn't a bad read as far as the genre goes. I felt kind of cheated on the plot and character development side, there was so much more the author could have done with the base storyline and characterizations. On the plus side, this was a well-written book - the POV's stayed with the character, there was no redundancy with the storyline when the POV shifted to another character, there was some irritation on my part with word usage (like a particular word was stuck in the author's brain and she used it every chance she could get), but otherwise a very clearly written book. I probably won't be reading the entire series, but willing to pick up the other book by this author that's on my shelf. less

Maybe I am just getting tired of reading the same series, but this one was just not as good to me. The guy was just too hard on himself. He blamed everything that went wrong on himself. He had too much difficulty accepting who he was and the situation with the heroine. Just not as good as the others. It is almost a stand alone book. I think you could actually skip this book in the series and not really miss anything.

Ellie Denton's life is turned upside down when she loses her mother and her home. To escape her mother's husband, she wishes herself away. I just don't think she was betting on 14th century Scotland. Caden MacAllister has been unlucky in love, and he wants nothing to do with Ellie, but the Fae have other plans. The plot had many ups and downs, and I enjoyed the continuation of the previous story from book 3.
