This review is from: Highlander's Charm (Highlander Heat Book 3) (Kindle Edition)
Another amazing story by the talented Joanne Wadsworth in her Highlander Heat series! "Highlander's Charm" is book three and the fourth book I have read and 5 star reviewed, as this series is incredible and always a pleasure to read one of Ms. Wadsworth's books.
In this story it starts very mystical and magical which sucked me in like a whorl wind right away. As it was about child born under a falling star in 1569 a portal open, a fortune teller, and two displaced souls. It's also revolved around this child and her Grandmother both born under the falling star with the silver eyes as proof of their special birth. This Grandmother knew she would loose this child as she had lost her mother in child birth if she didn't move quickly. So she made this special wish as which the portal opened yet deep in the forest there is a lad of seven with no silver in his eyes felt their presence whispering the newborns name Lila as she was gone from his world. He felt she was taken so strongly it caused much emotion and grief though he did not understand why. This fortune teller had two pieces inscribed one with the name Calum and one with the name Lila as they were two souls bound to each other and would again once to set everything back as it should be. Even if both were from enemy clans.
It's starts off with Lila in present time Scotland 2014 searching for her Grandmother for near a month a no one have seen or heard of her. Lila MacIan will not give up even though some feel some evil occupancy such as murder and mayhem might have reach the poor Grandmother. Lila will never give up as that is her only family and she feel a bit out of her area being from Australia. At twenty one her Grandmother and Lila had decided to go on holiday and check out her family roots then everything goes haywire when her Grandmother turns missing. Lila and a friend decide to go snorkeling she always has her special charm on her that has the name Callum on it no matter where she is even zipped up in her wet suit.
Then as she and a friend are snorkeling in Scotland an earthquake hits and boom she is pulled out of the water and by a a braw highlander by the name of Callum MacLean. They both have the charms, visions even before they actually meet and instant chemistry and magic unknown to them. At first Lila won't even believe she is in the past in 1590 Scotland. Callim thinks this wee lass might be a bit off her rocker herself. So to say they both need a bit of convincing is to say the least. Ones they realize the magic that is between them and see each other's charms as well, but cannot share the magic with many as there are many who would have Lila burned at the stake with rumors of witchery!
Lila realizes the hate Callum and his clan have for her people so decides to keep that to herself as she knows he won't take it lightly when he does. They can't seem to be able to be with out each other yet Lila figures her grandmother must be here and wants to continue her search. Of course an in dependent 21st century woman and 16th century warrior are going to have some differences to say the least. When he does find out who she really is it's a bit of a shock and he says some awful things and she runs to her ancestral clan but she has a tendency to have problems around water and Calum is always there to rescue her. Of course they still argue she continues her search a bit on the stubborn side and then she see Callum is on peril unless she wishes herself away as if she had never been.
What is the saying I love you so much to let you go? So are they to love without each other centuries and worlds apart? Or will they some how figure a way for the clans to unite in peace and stop the warring and treachery. Does Lila every find her lost Grandmother? Will these tow enemy clan ever be at peace? You will have to read this wonderful book about these two charmed individuals whom are bound to each other in this lovely, magical and enchanting story called Highlander's Charm!
