It's been so long since I read the last book in this series, that I had forgotten how much I love Mayhue's characters and writing style. It was like relaxing with old friends I haven't seen in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed this installment, and hope I don't have to wait so long for the next one.

I just love this series!! The Fae have affected so many lives - Drew and Leah are no exception. Leah had been held as a vessel to give birth to Fae and Drew half Fae himself loathes them.
The classic tale of hero saving the day and the damsel always in need of saving, in the end they save each other from their hurtful pasts and look forward to a future full of family, friends and a deep passion for each other.

Andrew and Leigh are emotionally damaged body and soul. Both hate the fae for past betrayals.
Andrew survived near mortal injuries to his chest and leg that leave him in constant pain. He also feels worthless and unloveable due to his injuries and horrific scars. He blames the fae even though that is his ancestry.
In the 21st century Leigh, a fae healer, was held by rogue fae who drained her blood to keep themselves young. She denies her fae heritage. She is hiding in 13th century traveling to Dun Ard hoping to get help to save her adopted Scots family when she stumbles into cold fast moving water. Andrew has just stopped to set up camp when he sees her struggling. He swims to her and drags her to shore. He agrees to take her to Dun Ard his home. As he doesn't completely trust her he does not tell her it is his home.
The book tells of their attraction for each other along with the mistrust. The emerging story of beginning to trust and find hope and possibly love and permanence are beautifully written. Hope and acceptance of who and what they each are makes them stronger.
One of the best historical romances I have read in some time.

This is actually the 7th book in the Daughters of the Glen series. I had not read the other 6, and although I had heard of Melissa Mayhue (great first name, btw) I had not read a book of hers. It was not necessary to have read the others in this series to enjoy this book. You could jump right in because it is a book that stands alone. You do get a hint that there were back stories to the other ladies of one of the keeps, but it still did not distract from the enjoyment of this story.
I'd have to say honestly that I didn't quite care for Leah at the beginning. I thought her to be a bit spoiled and selfish. Even though it was stated that she went through something horrific in her past to explain her hesitation, but I didn't connect to that until the story progressed. Then, I did find myself liking her especially at the end when she found her courage and finally stood up to people who where trying to control her destiny. In some ways I also felt the same about Andrew. I did like him from the start, but at other times his excuses for lying really ticked me off. However, when he realized what a jerk he had been, it was quite easy to forgive the rogue. Mainly considering he really wasn't a rouge at all.
I give this book 4 stars. It was a delightful PNR. If you just want something light with a good HEA, then I'd say this book is for you. It is predictable, but sometimes that is the charm of a light romance. I'm curious about Ellie (one of the sister's in law from the future) and I think I might seek out her book to read it. She talks to animals, so I'm curious (...although I'm not sure I'd want to know what my dogs want to tell me. I understand too much as it is!). :D
