Highlander Protected

Rate this book
When a magic spell awakens an ancient destiny, Marianne must use all her bravery to survive in the wild Scottish Highlands — and take care of some unfinished business. Marianne Brownlee is running out of reasons to get up in the morning. Her unusual job has burnt her out, and she’s been feeling out of touch with her faith, and her purpose since the disappearance of her cousin Cora. Marianne is a telephone psychic and tarot card reader, and in a last-ditch effort to reach out to Cora, she discovers that her spells have real power and that she has been transported back in time to the Scottish Highlands. Discovered wandering lost in the moors, Marianne is brought to the home of a woman who, in another lifetime, was her mother. Haunted by the tragic and unnatural fate of her ancestor, Marianne vows to seek revenge and right the wrongs done to her family. Reuniting with her cousin comes with bitter aftertaste, as Marianne’s identity in this world comes with a dark secret that could put more lives than hers in danger. The MacClaran’s want nothing to do with her quest for revenge, but Eamon MacClaran, a disgraced clan member with vengeance on his own mind could be the ally she has been seeking. But their quest may be over before it begins, as Eamon and Marianne find themselves caught in a race against time, and the power of the church, as Marianne discovers a plot that could spell disaster for everyone, including Cora and Audrina. Highlander Protected is the third book in the Highlander of Time series, perfect for fans of brooding heroes, intrepid heroines, and page-turning time-travel romance.

Time Travel romances

I love these time-travel romances and I love the way you write Rebecca very down-to-earth remind me of Laveral Spencer, she is one of my favorite writers because she writes down the home stories of real people and everybody is Rich and beautiful and everything turns out roses all the time. And that's what I love about your writing. I remember when I was in college taken women studies and she had a list of at least 30 different authors women authors on the board. But you didn't have LaVyrle Spencer and I gave her one of her books to read and I said if you think she's not a great writer I will pick one from the board but I don't think you will like the book she love the way she wrote and said I could write my biography on. You're writing reminds me so much of her and that to me is a great compliment cuz she's up to me she's a fantastic writer, and she's also from Minnesota.

Marianne worked for a psychic phone line, being that she is part witch it worked for her. When her cousin went missing her Aunt asked her to try and find her. After casting a spell some thing strange happened, she woke in 15th century. Eamon had been banished from his home for something he didn't do but couldn't tell people where he was. When a woman who looked like a woman he saw die her promised himself that he would keep her safe no matter what. I love these time travel stories there fun bur serious with some hot parts. Where in the other books in this series they aren't witch's Marianne is which is a good twist.

Outstanding time travel romance. Marianne is an outcast from her family even though she too is a witch. Suddenly she gets a call that her cousin Cora is missing so she agrees to help. It changes her life forever. Eamon is a Highland warrior who is huge and has been exiled from the keep. There is evil lurking in the highlands - witch hunters. I loved the way the author brought the characters to life and included their flaws as well as their uniqueness. I highly recommend this book. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Preston.

I love a man in a kilt!

Kindle unlimited purchase/ Audible
By Rebecca Preston
Marianne is a Tarot card phone reader, some would call her a witch. She is worried about Cora since she went missing. So, on her lunch, she did a find me spell to help find her.
Eamon is an excellent soldier, but he is accused of killing a person in a drunken brawl. And is exiled from the castle.
When Marianne needs help avenging Elena's death, who helps her? Emon.
I enjoyed this book and the audio was great! I do recommend this book to anyone over the age of 18. If you like your men in KILTS then this book "series" is for you.

Emotionally thrilling, action packed, exciting romantic journey through time to right a wrong with the added side effect of finding truelove in the most unexpected place...... Loved it!

Marianne Brownlee is sassy, sexy and works in the big city as a telephone psychic and tarot card reader. Saddened by the disappearance of her cousin she works a spell that unexpectedly takes her back to fifteenth century Scotland.... Eamon MacClaran is strong, sexy and has just been band from the only home he has ever known by his cousin. Highly entertaining and exciting adventure.

Hay un momento cuando Cora y Marianne están entrenando con Ian y cuando terminan e intentan comer pero les tiembla tanto la mano que Cora que estaba comiendo guisantes ni uno se le quedaba en la cuchara 😝😝😝, aunque Mari Antea entrenó con los caballos y bajo después de dormir en plan cowboy 😝😝😝, me parto!!! Historia chula de un caballero oso y una bruja telefónica que tiene una misión después de que su tatara tatara tatara abuela fuese quemada por su padre, el cual no se merece esa palabra. Vamos a por el siguiente!!! 🥰

The 21st century witch and the outcast highlander.

Rebecca Preston is one of the most enjoyable authors of the 21st century! Her stories, like this one, create a movie in your mind as you read it. There are two novels before this one you must read. This story about Marianne and Eamon will keep your interest from the first page to the last! It was so interesting that I read it in a day. FANTASTIC, CATCHING NOVEL!! I am hoping for a book 4 in this series.

Woman as a future plan together with the women of the past to create another heartwarming story at a time when people are accused of witchcraft, Marianne has to keep her talents hidden. Not only that she doesn’t realize that she does have strong talent. And your talent is enhanced by that young woman who she is expecting revenge on. And old old relative was killed as a witch. Very enjoyable great with of course A great ending

Great story!

Eamon was a great Scotsman, strong and loyal. A priest , Theodore came into their castle and burned Elena for witchcraft. It turns out that he did it so no one would know it was his own daughter. Marianne came for the future, looking exactly like Elena, a future relative. Between Eamon and her they had to find a way to rid the world of this priest. Please read, a very good story.

Firstly..this cover picture is nowhere near my idea of a six foot brawny Scot.....covers help me decide if I want to explore the book...and this scrawny child won't do it.Easy book to read plot predictable...just insert new names and familiar plot...

Very cute highland romance

This book was really great. It fit well with the first two and filled in some plot holes. I loved that our heroine asked questions that I myself have pondered over while reading back in time Scottish Romances.

Wonderful

What a great story! I've not read this author before but will definitely be looking for the rest of this series! Lots of action, believable characters, and that's pretty difficult when you are in time travel! Great read!

Emotional love story

This was a good book. I was disappointed with the way it ended. I was looking for a wedding or more of the couples life. Maybe it will mention it in the next book.

Highlander Protected book 3

As descendants seem to travel hundreds of years to the past to Scotland. They seem to be wanted as a witch as their ancestor was. A protector is usually needed.

I skimmed at least half this book. Missed nothing. I'm only reading the next one because I want to see where these 3 all end up. Terrible reason, I know, but I'm a glutton for punishment sometimes.
