Summary: Not worthy of its predecessor
Review: Having thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the trilogy, Charming the Highlander, I was very disappointed in this follow up. The first book was imaginative, fast-paced, with a complex hero torn between his medieval roots and the need to adapt to the modern world in order to survive. This 2nd book, however, features a hero who still acts as if he lives in the 13th century, a heroine whose obsession with her scarred back makes her extremely one dimensional, and a plot that's yawn-inducing. If this book is any indication, I'll have to think extremely hard before putting my money down for the final book in the trilogy.

Summary: Not unique
Review: I have read all three books in this series, and they pretty much repeat them selves. A group of Scottish warriors from the 12th century get pulled forward in time by a wizard. They all meet (in the 3 books) 21st century woman and fall in love. The characters have no depth, the storyline just doesn't hold together. To many events are always happening together to try to make the story interesting, but they don't. They just seem haphazard, and all this action takes away from the characters. Instead of giving them a personality so the reader can understand their actions, Chapman throws them into strange adventures, and you don't understand why they act the way they do.
Not the best, just superficial. Try instead a Julie Garwood book, or any Christina

Summary: charming Highlander time travel romance
Review: In 1200 AD during a clan battle in the Scottish Highlands, the Druid wizard Father Daar casts a spell that accidentally sends several MacBain and MacKeage warriors into the twenty-first century to include the MacKeage brothers Greylen and Morgan. During the chaos of time transformation, Daar lost his magical staff in a Maine pond. Since arriving and settling in their new century, Greylen, now known as Michael, has married his modern day lover (see CHARMING THE HIGHLANDER).Morgan worries about the impact that Daar's lost staff has had on the surrounding flora and fauna. When Mercedes Quill begins hiking and marking the area for a wilderness park set aside, Morgan becomes concerned that the Highlander secrets will be revealed. He plans to stop "Sadie" from succeeding, but is shocked by his attraction to her as much as by her obstinate resolve. For Sadie it is an affectionate legacy honoring her late father though she finds the weird Morgan quite a loving distraction. The second Highlander time travel romance is a charming tale that readers of medieval warriors displaced will appreciate. The key, as with the first novel, is that the Highlanders have had time to adapt to their new century yet have to courageously confront technological things taken for granted by their beloved ones that seem magical to their psyche. The story line is fun to follow as the living creatures by the magical pond add depth to a delightful "battle" of the sexes. With novels like these two MacBain tales, Janet Chapman shows she is a talent that sub-genre fans value. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Loving the Highlander
Review: Janet Chapman's "Highlander Series" began with "Charming the Highlander" - it was such a great read that I immediately ordered "Loving the Highlander" and "Wedding the Highlander". While the second book might not have been quite as good as the first book - I thoroughly enjoyed it! This series is an interesting mix of romance and sci-fi. I absolutely could not put this book down once I got through the first half. Her characters are interesting and the story moves right along. I have really enjoyed Ms. Chapman's books!

Summary: Simply Wonderful
Review: Janet Chapman's heroes make my heart race and my toes curl. Bravo! The concept of her Highlander series is fresh and imaginative. It is a time travel series--but the stories start several years after a clan of medieval warriors has been brought into the future. I loved the fact that the men have already adjusted to the modern world and I didn't have to suffer through yet another story with characters learning to use modern appliances. And I found Ms. Chapman's writing to be very smooth, humorous, and comforting. If you're looking for a good romance without bloody murders or sickening conflict, and you just want to get lost in a nice story--the Highlander series is for you. It's the first time in fifteen years I called my local bookstore and asked when an author's next book would be put on the shelves--and I will be waiting bright and early at the front door for Wedding the Highlander.

Summary: An enjoyable sequel to "Charming the Highlander".
Review: The second in the series about Grey's brother Morgan was very enjoyable. The fact that Grey and his warrior's time travelled to the present six years ago and are already acclimated to this century was a plus. I only had two problems with this book. One: Morgan was still a bit too "13th" century. He should have learned by Grey and Grace's relationship that in "modern" times you don't order a woman around and make her decisions for her. Two: Sadie let him and didn't show enough independence. But it was still a very good read and I'm looking forward to reading the final book in the trilogy.
