Summary: Charming The Higlander
Review: This book had everything! Big strong Scotish men, time travel and magick. It will make you laugh, cry, hang on the edge of you seat just to see what happens next.
The Highlands of Scotland,year 1200 AD. The hero Laird Greylen MacKeage has gotten sent into the future to the 21st Century to find the one woman who is ment for him. I thought this man was just to good to be true. He could be a bit demanding, but also very passionate. In comes the heroine, Miss Grace Sutter, who has waited her whole life to find the right man. I thought she was a bit up tight about the time travel, but she did come around. She deals in science and belives only in what she can see. I thought she was strong, loving and a equall to Gray. They made a very good match.
I thought the lesser characters were wonderful too. Exspeicaly Pandaar, he has lived so long I wonder if his story will be told.
Also Morgan and Micheal. I can't wait to see what will happen to them.
Keep the books coming Ms Chapman you really are a very good writer.

Summary: Flat and Hard to Swallow
Review: This book was far better on the blurb on the back then it was reading it. Sounds very intriguing and hard to put down, but I found myself bored and waiting for the interesting parts and was let down.
The main character Grace Sutter is in a fateful plane crash on an icy mountain in the middle of Maine. Her only companion is the only other survivor a large man named Greylan MacKeage.
With the sheer help of this man, she survives the crash and trek down, barely. What they find is a love that was destined to be by the stars above and Grey is a little older than she thought...far older....is he her destiny?
That about covers it. She is a rocket scientist and seems to harp on this fact. IMO, I thought it was a little rude to point it out DOZENS of times and make it seem as though the 'simple' people in town were just that, along with her sister who lived such a 'simple 'life.
The romance between the two was too fast and seemed to come out of nowhere. I wasn't convinced in the end they were so fated to be as one and still never warmed to their 'love' for one another.
Grey is very vague. We don't get to know him very well. Kind of cardboard-cut-out character. Big, strong, Highlander from another time comes to find his destiny. Nothing really interesting about him or his past. He comes off as a little too domineering at times and then too one dimensional. I can say I don't really know who he was or anything about him other than where he came from...vaguely.
The mystery in the story isn't much of a mystery and seemed thrown in like some last minute ingredient that doesn't mix well. There are loose ends that never get tied and I was left feeling frustrated and lost and mostly bored and uninterested in reading the sequels.

Summary: A Nice Read!
Review: This was a nice read. It started off rather sad as has already been stated by another reviewer stated but it picks up after the first few chapters.Grace Sutter is single and smart and her young sister has just passed away leaving behind an infant son. Mary askes Grace to take the baby back to her home in Maine and to find the father Michael MacBain and to leave the baby with him. Grace agrees and packs "Baby" and goes home but she finds herself the victim of a plane crash and the only survior besides herself and baby is a big strong Scot named Greylen. Greylen is attracted to Grace and Grace finds herself kissing this handsome man without any thought. But, before they can explore the feelings they have for each other they must get of the mountain and to safety. Of course their problems don't stop then. Grace confronts her nephew's father and decides to keep "Baby" a secret and to hold on to him herself. This of course leads to all sorts of problems and now Grace has broken a deathbed promise to her sister. Eventually everything turns out for the best but not before Grace's secrets and lies come all undone. This was a nice read as I said before, the only problem I had with the story was the fact that I got tired of Grace's selfish behavior regarding the baby. This problem is not resolved until the last few chapters in the book. Beside that I thought that this time travel was unique and I look forward to reading the next in the series.

Summary: Laughing, Crying and Baby in a plaid
Review: This was a very "sweet" read. You already know the plot by now, so I won't repeat it. The characters were well developed and the story was fast paced. Personally I'd like a little more descriptive "sheet dancing", but it would not have worked here. The interaction between the characters was witty and real. Best part of the story for me was thinking about a scared highlander fashioning a diaper out of a towel for 4 week old "Baby" and winds up making an over the shoulder plaid for him. I'd like to see that sold in a store. Worth your time and money.

Summary: Inane Babble...
Review: To even compare this author to Karen Marie Moning is both an insult and an affront to Ms. Moning. 'Charming the Highlander' was not only pathetic, but unbelievable and contrived. Frankly I did not care about the characters, nor did I feel compelled to WANT to care about them. The hero and heroine seemingly fall in love somewhere outside of the confines of the book, as I find it highly dubious that two characters could fall in love in the time they were given. This book is trite and unoriginal, and seems to be a poor attempt at capitalizing off of the 'highlander' romance genre. Please, save your money and read ANY of Karen Marie Moning's books instead.
