Rating: Summary: Review & a Summary! Review: "Anyone looking to escape with a Highland rogue will definitely love The Last Highlander!" - Kemberlee Lugo for CompuServe Romance Reviews After the Scots reclaim Edinburgh Castle, Alasdair MacAuley only wants to celebrate. But the revels are interrupted by an old crone who claims the castles' true owner is the legendary witch Morgaine le Fee. Dared by his fellow warriors to go meet the witch, Alasdair heads down a flight of stairs - and tumbles right into another century... only to land at the feet of illustrator Morgan LaFayette. Claire Cross also writes as Claire Delacroix!
Rating: Summary: A Good Attempt, but does not quite work. Review: I bought this book last week. Normally I love Time Travel books based in Scotland (I'm Scottish and live in Scotland). But, unfortunately I am rapidly going off this book. I don't really know what is wrong with it, it's not grabbing my attention as some other books have. I have no feeling for the characters in any shape or form. For all I care 'they could go and hing themselves from the nearest lamp-post'. One thing that has really annoyed me is that Claire Cross has tried to be clever and have the hero coming forward in time and therefore change history. The Scots lost Bannockburn, Robert the Bruce is branded as a thief and scoundrel and England (which she insists on calling Britain!!) lords over Scotland. HEY! Maybe that's why I don't like the book!! No, to be honest this could have been an excellent story, but to me it is wasted by an author who doesn't have the talent for this type of story.
Rating: Summary: A pretty good read! Review: I liked this book, as a filler until the next one in Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series comes out. Using that series as the benchmark by which all others are judged, this one came out fairly well. It has a different twist, in that the Highlander comes forward to meet his True Love, rather than the other way around. Check it out!

Rating: Summary: Wonderful book! Review: I loved this book! It was full of humor, passion, excitement, and love. I laughed and cried over this book so its a definate keeper! This is a time travel book. The Hero , Alasdair, has just helped Robert the Bruce to take Edinburgh Castle from the English. He and his men are celebrating when a witch dares Alasdair to follow her. He does and suddenly finds himself still at the castle but almost 700 years in the future. In 1998 american Morgan Lafayette is on vacation with her sister and brother-in-law. She finds the Highlander and thinks that he is an actor playing the part for the amusement of the tourist. She soon discovers though that something has happened to make all the history that she has known change. She begins to suspect that Alasdair is truley from the past and tries to help him get back. Alasdair at first thinks that Morgan is the legendary witch Margaine Le Fee and fights his growing feelings for her. He desparetly wants to return to his home in his time but his feelings for Morgan are a problem. Together they must find a way to get Alasdair back. Along the way they encounter some very interesting people and some funny situations. Morgan's sister and brother-in-law are having a romance of their own but add to the over all book. I cried when this book was done. It had a great ending and I hope if you read it you don't read the ending first, it will spoil the story. I hope to read others by this author.
Rating: Summary: Scottish history and time travel all rolled up into one! Review: I loved this book.....like I said in my summary..that made it perfect....I loved how the author managed to make Alasdair depart at the crucial moment.....Yummm
Rating: Summary: Great Read Review: I read this book in search of something similar to 'The Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon and I think I found it was well worth the search. The story started out a little slow with each of the characters in their own time and life, but by about 30-40 pages into the story I was hooked. I have to admit to staying up very late the Saturday evening I started it and spending almost my entire Sunday with my nose burried in the pages and my heart caught up in a love that could withstand the passage of time. This is a book I would highly recomend.

Rating: Summary: Great Read Review: I took a while to get into this story but when I did I was so glad I persevered. It was a beautifull ending and well worth the wait. Alisdair MacAuley is sent forward in time to change history even though he doesn't it. He thinks he is in a powerful scorceress castle when he meets Morgan Lafayette. Thank you Claire for giving us this story.
