This was my first time reading anything by Maeve Greyson. I'm so glad I did! This was a great time travel/love story. Katie and Ramsey make a great team. Now I need to go back and meet all the other members of Ramseys family. I was given this book for free for my honest review.

This was my first book Maeve Greyson and it was so much fun! I read the blurb about the book, but didn't realize that it would involve time-traveling and those types of books are always so much fun to read :). I loved Katie as a heroine and Ramsay was definitely swoon-worthy. Although at times some of the gaelic (or scottish) translation was a bit much, bit was still a very good book. I wish the epilogue gave us more about Katie and Ramsay, but maybe the author is trying to set up the next series in the book. Still a great read! **ARC provided by NetGalley.

“Things pass through our lives—easy to gain, easy to lose. What matters in life is making memories with someone you love. Memories that no one, not time, the gods, angels, or demons, can ever take away.”

The MacDara Clan has found favor with the ancient druid goddesses. Known throughout the Highlands of Scotland as the Protectors, the MacDara’s travel back and forth in time, as the goddesses wish, to fulfill their sworn duties to protect the Heartstone, an ancient relic filled with energy that makes mortal life worth living. Ramsay MacDara has never been one to shirk his duty as a Protector, but living in modern day North Carolina is not his passion, and he feels lost and alone in a world that doesn’t understand him. That is until he stumbles upon a beautiful damsel in distress.

Katie Jenson has always put her job as a professor and archaeologist first. Resolving herself to a life of no romance, she can’t believe she’s being rescued by one verra hawt man in a kilt! Curiosity gets the better of Katie, and she finds herself swept up in not only the arms of her highlander, but swept back in time as well.

As the days pass, Katie and Ramsay learn that fate has placed them in each other’s path for a reason. Fear of the unknown becomes an obstacle neither can move, and could cost them their happily ever after.

Katie’s Highlander is the first book by Maeve Greyson that I have read, but it will not be the last! I found myself swept away within the first few pages, and did not want the story to end. Loved this impossible to put down historical romance and highly recommend!

This is the perfect book to pick up as the weather is starting to turn colder, it will warm you up! The Highlander seems to be a popular topic lately but Greyson does a great job of telling a new story and keeping you invested in the characters and wanting to know what the happily ever after will be!

I have read the first two books in the series, but if you haven't, the prologue and the author's note do a really good job of catching you up, I commend the author for doing this. So many authors expect you to remember characters from a book you read a year ago.

I've been there, Katie.

Honey, how does wedging yourself in help him to hear you?

Who needs a firefighter when you have got a handy Highlander around.

Yep, he's perfect, except for being a hell of a lot older than he looks.

The spear was definitely announcing "We're time-travelling Highlanders!" No wonder his mom is annoyed.

She's a handsy drunk.

No need for soap or time-outs in this house.

Did she want him to try something?

I only like when my mom makes brussels sprouts.

Dwyn doesn't play. When he marries a couple, he really marries them!

It does all sound believable when you think about it.

It is so freaky. One minute you're in North Carolina, the next in Scotland. And not just Scotland, could-be-any-time-in-the-past Scotland!

Remind me never to fall into an armed boar trap.

Eww.

Ooh, angry hate-kissing.

Was Flora going to wash her...down there?

Jeezus, that poor woman!

Everyone is a Peeping Tom.

Gah, once-a-year baths.

Of course he prefers then to now. He's chieftain!

Ruh-roh.

A housekeeper who knows Reiki.

Flora is so bloodthirsty; I love it.

That witch enjoys hurting her son. The cesspit is too good for her. Put her on the rack!

What the-What are you up to, old man?

If they didn't have a lifetime guarantee, I wonder what they both would have chosen.

still don't know who Brant's father is.

Sorry, Adam.

Katie’s Highlander, written by Maeve Greyson, is the third book in the Highland Protector series. The story opens with a pair of legs and a khaki-covered backside dangling out of a sports car’s sunroof. Katie Jenson, a straight-talking, compassionate archaeologist, is stuck.

Suddenly, a horse-riding, kilt-wearing warrior swoops in to save the day. His name is Ramsey MacDara, a Highlander whose entire family was uprooted from medieval Scotland and transplanted into the woodlands of modern-day North Carolina. With his dreamy accent and fit physique, is it any wonder that Katie faints into Ramsey’s arms?

Throughout the book, sparks fly between Katie and Ramsey. Heated repartee and passionate exchanges nearly set the pages afire. Although I enjoyed the couple’s verbal sparring, I could have done without some of the X-rated scenes. A little less erotica and a little more nuance would have made this romance more romantic for me.

Also, at times, I found the storyline difficult to follow. Because I had not read the first two books of this series, it felt as if I were missing something. In addition, in places, the story seemed scattered. In part, this haphazardness is due to time travel. However, in several instances, the story sprints from scene to scene; details are not developed. Each time I read these sections, I felt slightly winded and wished that I could have stopped to savor the moment.

Overall, however, I enjoyed reading this book, mostly because of Katie Jenson’s spunk and sass. She is a strong woman with strong opinions who loves deeply. The story begins with Ramsey rescuing Katie, but in the end, it is Katie who rescues Ramsey from his self-imposed solitude, opening his eyes and his heart to a love that lasts through the ages.

Katie, a young archaeologist, is hanging upside down in her car, trying to reach her bag after her car accident. Along comes hunky Scotsman Ramsey, who was born in the late 800s and is now living in modern times. Story made me chuckle, and enjoyed when they go back in time. Going from modern day North Carolina to old Scotland was quite a change for both of them, although Ramsey at least was familiar with the time and customs. Enjoyed this one, and highly recommend this book, series and author.
