My Thoughts
Highlanders Curse is the last in the series, and I thought that I might be a little lost at times, but for the most part it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would. It was a enjoyable story, even though it didn’t feel like much of a romance story the first half of it, but the second half was way better and well worth waiting for. I really am starting to just love this series, especially since I have a weakness for time travel, but I also enjoyed the excitement and danger aspect of the story as well. Even though Highlanders Curse was a delightful read, it was far from my favorite book since it didn’t run as smoothly as I expected, especially since I just loved the first book in the series, but I hope the others books are alot better…
My Favorite Quote
“We are fated to be together. Together from the beginning of time until the end of time,” he whispered before losing himself in her kiss. The sensation of his kiss felt like the world dropped out from under them, and they fell, endlessly locked in each other’s arms. Abby could imagine no better way to go forth into forever.

Melissa Mayhue lives in Colorado, in the shadow of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, with her family, two insanely spoiled dogs, one domineering cat, a turtle with an attitude, and way too many fish in their aquarium. If any one thing is obvious about the books I like best, it's that I love my Happy Ever After endings!!
