Well my friends, as I used to be an avid historical romance reader in my 20s and I have had a recent fascination with Scotland (hello, Outlander and Jamie Fraser!  I’ve been binge watching since Christmas), I decided to go with Dreams of a Highlander in early January.  It is part of a series and this is book 1.  It’s about a young veterinarian from America visiting Scotland who suddenly finds herself catapulted back in time to Sixteenth century Scotland in the middle of a clan war.

First of all, as you can imagine, the ensuing events are at times comical as Darcy at first doesn’t realize what has happened and confuses and astounds those she meets with her funny way of talking, speaking of cell phones and cars and such.  This definitely brought a chuckle.  The slowly building tension and eventual romance with Quinn was lovely and I enjoyed the sparks between them.  It was a cute little romance and I don’t have any complaints really.

I have to say though, I didn’t have the urge to keep turning the pages and it took me some time to finish.  Maybe this is because I burned myself out on historical romances years ago and now all the plots look the same to me, but with different characters?  I don’t know but I hope I’m wrong and I will be reading more of this genre for sure!

Overall, this one was definitely a pretty good read and I enjoyed it.  I may pick up the second book in the series if I see it on sale but otherwise I’ll probably leave this one as is.  If you love historical romance, time travel and Scotland, give this one a read!  4 STARS! 🙂
