This was the second story in the series and the second sister Kenna finds it's her turn to turn to return to the past and meet her destiny. And in this case it's Colum Garrison, a hardened warrior and a womanizer to boot. But when he meets Kenna everything changes for Colum and he is prepared to devote everything he has for Kenna, even his heart, but is it enough? I loved this wonderful love story, there's some exciting drama in this book which had me on the edge of my seat, and it's characters are great. I'm really looking forward to the next book and Mairi and Ronan's story, this one sounds very interesting. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:Perfect for fans of the Highlander novels of Karen Marie Moning and Janet Chapman, Southern sass meets Highland heat in Maeve Greyson??s scintillating Highland Hearts romance. With bedroom eyes and racetrack curves, Kenna Sinclair seems like just another pretty Kentucky girl. But she can also read minds, erase memories, and jump through time??a skill set that comes in handy when her matchmaking granny sends her back to thirteenth-century Scotland on the pretext of visiting her older sister. When she encounters the clan??s womanizing man-at-arms, Kenna instantly knows the gorgeous Highlander has only one thing on his mind. She vows to steer clear of him, but after a single electrifying touch, she finds that playing hard to get won??t be quite so easy. . . . Bewitched by the first lass who could ever resist him, Colum Garrison will do anything to prove his devotion, even ask for Kenna??s hand in marriage??and swear off his chosen form of recreation until their wedding night. It??s a burden for a man of his thunderous appetite, but the sinful temptation is not his alone: Colum??s fetching bride-to-be is practically trembling with anticipation for a moment that can??t come soon enough. When she??s willing, Colum will be ready and waiting??with a love that lasts a lifetime.

In this installment, its time for Kenna (the second Sinclair sister) to embrace her fate and travel from present-day Kentucky to the 13th Century Highlands. Of course this is all set into motion by the matriarch, Granny Sinclair. Kenna's fated husband is to Colum Garrision, the man-at-arms for Clan McKenna. And for this couple - its love at first sight... or should I say tingle at first touch!
Kenna is a likable heroine. Although she was resistant to the time travel at first, once she gets to Scotland, she goes all in and decides what she wants straight away. I admired that. Kenna had a hard time balancing her modern feminist type of ideals with the fragile ego and overarching pride of a Scottish warrior. When Colum is reluctant to move their relationship forward (because he is a numpty), Kenna struggles to maintain the status quo instead of taking matters into her own hands.
Colum was an empathetic hero. As soon as he met Kenna, he changed his womanizing ways and sets out to prove that she is the woman for him. But once Kenna is amenable, Colum suddenly feels like he is not quite good enough for her and must better himself before he can offer her marriage. I did not like the wallowing Colum was engaging in and wanted to shake him several times in this book. But other than that, I liked him as a hero and empathized with his plight of wanting to give Kenna the world.
Unfortunately Colum and Kenna's plans to get the other to acquiesce to their desires blows up right in their faces. A new character comes into the story as an antagonist, and foils everyone's best laid plans. I don't want to say too much about that part of the story because I don't want to spoil anything - but part of it was heartwrenching. And this new character, Laird Sutherland, promises to be an interesting character in the next book. I am very excited to see him matched with another Sinclair sister and see what fate has in store for them!
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 4 stars / 2 flames. ( )
