3.5 stars (I think?)

I liked this 2nd book much better than the 1st book. While it still calls for suspension of disbelief, what romance doesn't? It's much more believable and much less convoluted than the 1st book was.

Sadie (Mercedes) Quill is late twenty-something, 6'1", and full of guilt -- she bears the scars from the fire that she believes she's responsible for... a fire that killed her younger sister and weakened her father's heart. Her father died just 3 years ago. But Sadie is determined...more

Sadie sucked in her breath and waited for Morgan to say his vows.
“You’re mine,” he growled, pulling her so forcibly into his chest that the air rushed out of her lungs with a gasp.
You’re mine? That was it?

I am LOVING this series, I enjoyed book one but book two was fantastic. I laughed so many times in this book, Sadie and Morgan have so many awkward moments on top of the sexual tension they are trying to fight makes this book an exciting read.

The poor guy looked like one of those me...more

Another re-read. The second in the original trilogy about the highlanders who've been zapped into present day and now live in Maine. This one features Morgan, a very tall (funny, you never here about any short highlanders) warrior who meets his match, Sadie, when she spots him skinny-dipping and decides to commenorate the occasion with her camera. When a books starts with the hero chasing the heroine down while naked - it has to be good!

Sadie's looking for a long lost mine (much like the Dutchma...more

I loved this story about Sadie & Morgan. It was very charming! It had just the right amount of romance for me not to feel so chocked by it. I really love Chapman's writing style and I loved the whole magical river and the wizard. This book had me laughing at some parts like when Morgan is found bathing naked in the river and he explains his actions to the wizard... too funny! This book also had some action I was taken back when I read who was really responsible for the fire and was seeking t...more

I had high hopes for this book in the beginning. I liked the idea of Sadie Quill’s character. A woman who was not only decently haunted but also physically scared. Sadie is very conscious of her scars. A beautiful woman naturally she now has scars covering her entire back and one arm. Because they extend to her hand some are always visible.

I liked that Chapman created a character who was haunted by something realistic (the deaths of her sister and father) and also a woman who was dealing with a...more

Sadie Quill, is patroling the land in Maine, for a park to be built, but she stumbles across a naked and virile highlander, Morgan MacKeage. After the encounter she is scared to death, and can't stop thinking about him, thinking him even though sexy as sin, is crazy and maybe not at all right in his head....Morgan when finding that Sadie is the one that will be wanting to put this beautiful forest and all its secret as part of a park, he wants to scare her off the land so she will never return b...more

Argh. These are the times when I really need that half star rating system.

Loving the Highlander was another quick, easy and enjoyable read in Janet Chapman's Highlander series. This installment features Morgan MacKeage, Greylen's brother from Charming the Highlander. Morgan was one of the men accidentally transported 800 years into the future when a druidh's spell went awry.

Sadie Quill, emotionally and physically scarred from a house fire which resulted in the death of her sister and father, is...more

This is the 2nd book in an entertaining series about some 12th century Highland warriors who have been thrust 800 years into the future. It's only been 8 years since it happened, Morgan is still not comfortable with living in this new era, and he still feels that his sword is his best friend. Sadie lost her sister in a house fire 8 yrs ago, her father died 3 yrs ago from health problems caused by smoke inhalation from that fire, and Sadie herself has major burn scars from being trapped in that f...more

I love this book, I am really enjoying the whole highlander series. It is so nice to start with the very very first book (charming the highlander) -for some reason it makes it so much enjoyable to read, to know how things started and where each book is going with each story and character. I love it. Morgan and Sadie story was so much fun to read-I had a lot of laughs with this one, thank u Janet Chapman!!!!

When I first became addicted to reading, Janet Chapman's Highlander series was what hooked me. This was before I had an ereader and I had found her series in a used bookstore and thought why not.

Her Highlander series are very good. I like her writing style and they all have a happy ending with a lot of excitement in between. Enjoy!

I love a smart,thoughtful,strong hero and I liked the heroine in this as well: damaged but strong and struggling to live her life. I liked the plot and the peripheral characters. There was fun, drama,humor,pathos in the story. And it did end happily.
Wanda Ballou
A story set in modern day with medieval highlander running around. Keeps you hoping for the fairy tale but not knowing how it can be accomplished. Good story leaving you believing in fairy tales.
Karen L
Great story that continues the story line from the first one; the Scottish warriors who thrown into the future by a magician to stop a war between two clans who kept fighting each other in the past.
Kerra
I totally enjoyed this book! Some of the things Sadie said were really powerful. I found that the ending wasn't much of a surprise, but it was still awesome! I'm really sad now that its over :-(

Ok. The premise is good, but the scene where he is naked and chases her and tackles her is too creepy. I don't know that I could recover enough from that to fall in love with him later in the book.
Brittany Parshall
I really like these book but im upset that Janet gives the guy and the girl the same beginning to their name. Grey n' Grace. Morgan and Mercedes. Michael and M-something.
Jen Taylor
A great addition to the other MacKeage clan books I have read by Janet Chapman. Fills in a lot of details and is a fantastic read for any romance/adventure lover.

Just finished the Immortal Highlander (loving Adam Black)and dived straight into more
Tartan-clad loveliness hehehe Will be going hiking at the weekend in the hope of finding

A fun series with the right amounts of sexy, funny and touching. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
Crystal
Ok, I actually GOT the humor in this one. And the story itself was pretty good. Only one quibble and fortunately, it was taken care of properly a day or two later - regardless of how marriage is done in the H's culture, it is NOT cool to marry the h according to the H's culture without actually and properly explaining things to her (that whole trickery thing, rather like getting a chick drunk in Vegas and taking her to meet Elvis). Fortunately, the handy dandy priest showed up a day or two later...more

Every now and then you need to read an magical adventure and this was fun. I enjoyed it.

These are just fun, quick reads. Maine sounds beautiful.

I liked the characters. I found myself bored with the plot.
Tonya Warner
Another wonderful tale of a sexy Highlander meeting a modern day woman.

Morgan Mackeage more than meets his match in the reclusive Mercedes 'Sadie' Quill. Working his way past her physical scars and helping her heal the more damaging internal scars, Morgan helps Sadie realize her dreams.

As I sit here, trying to put into words who I am, I can't help but think of hats. I know it's an old, time-worn cliche, but hats fit (no pun intended).
