This was chosen for me in a pick-it for me challenge. I actually enjoyed this. The story was pretty good but it was slow in the beginning. It was a little bit hard for me to get into. I did like that all members of the triad were equal. I loved that. Not my usual type of mnage but still a solid good read.

The story was pretty good. It had the right amount of conflict without being totally angst filled. I waited to start this until all of the books were available. I was interested enough to continue the series until I noticed that (like most series) the next two books increased in price. So I decided at this time I was not that interested to continue.

I liked this story. I liked the unexplained nature of what happens and the characters.
The narrative meandered a lot more than I generally like. It sort of had a stream of consciousness vibe going on, as if someone was pouring their memories out without self-editing or taking out the boring stuff. That approach makes sense to the story itself, but can bog down the reading somewhat. I would still recommend it to others and look forward to more work from this author.

I'd give this one a 4 and one half. It's a pretty good story and a fun read. Worth the time and price

This was a pretty good story, an intriguing concept and portends some interesting metaphysical questions.  I got tired of every line of dialogue beginning with the name of whoever was being addressed...like the author wanted to sure you knew who was being spoken to.  Too much.  It was distracting.

Reading some other reviews, let me address a couple comments I read.  Frankly I did not notice particular overuse of profanity, but then I use some myself now and then and am not easily offended when my mind is engaged.  ANd the concept was engaging.  On the uni-dimentionality  of the women I concur.  Not a lot of depth and not all women look like playboy bunnies.  I guess if you're imagining, you can imagine whatever, but real women are more interesting..

All in all a pretty good read until it ended in the middle of the story which is truly unforgivable.  A story ought to be interesting enough that it can stand alone with an ending not in the middle of a situation.  If the characters and concept are good enough I'll want the next book in the series but it really pisses me off to treat a novel like a soap opera.

Overall this is a pretty good story and the author handled the characters well.  It was good enough to entice me to get the second volume.

I enjoyed the story.  A better than average first effort. I will probably read another by Ms Miller at some point, but I reserve higher ratings for special books, which this isn't quite. Villains a bit too cartoony and underdeveloped.

Pretty good story. It's nice to see from the POV of most of the main characters. Adds depth to the story. There is a lot of background and mental development of the characters and the plot, but the end kind of falls flat. There is no real resolution. I assume there is a sequel or this may be part of a trilogy, I don't know. This was a blind read.

Overall, it was good. None of the stupid typos that can kill a book. Just enough detail to paint a pretty picture with overdoing it. I enjoyed it. It's worth a couple dollars if you are looking for an easy entertaining read that isn't stupid.

This was a pretty good story. I liked Amelia (overall) and thought Duncan was great. Their story was enjoyable and kept me engaged throughout.

Amelia is the daughter of a Duke who was also a high ranking military man in the English army. He was stationed in Scotland to suppress the Scottish people when they tried to revolt against the English control. During this fight, Amelia's father is saved by another officer, Robert, and this started a path where Amelia ended up engaged to Robert. Robert always seemed to be a fine gentleman so when her father was killed, Amelia accepted Robert's offer of marriage, thinking herself in love.

Duncan is a Scottish Highlander and has lost much due to the rule of the English. The worst injury was that the woman he cared for and was supposed to marry was killed and raped by an evil English officer. This officer is been a blight to the Scottish people, spreading violence far and wide, and Duncan and his friends have been determined to kill him in vengeance for his actions.

Duncan finds out where the enemy English officer, Robert, is supposed to be and has a plan to kill him. He sneaks in the fort and reaches Robert's bad chamber, only to find that Robert isn't in the fort after all and the person in his bed is his fiancee, Amelia. Duncan is pissed that Robert isn't there but when he finds out that Amelia is his intended, Duncan decides to kidnap her to use as bait to draw Robert out of hiding and to somewhere that Duncan can finally kill him. Duncan isn't happy about the change in plans but he treats Amelia decently and promises only to use her as bait and not to kill her (although that plan isn't liked by all of his men).

As they travel together, Amelia starts out seeing the men as savages but as she spends more time with Duncan and the others, she starts to realize they're decent people that are just different from what she's used to. Unfortunately, Amelia is rather enamored her idea of Robert so she's not too happy when Duncan and the other men talk of killing him. It doesn't take long for her views to change and she's not that thrilled about it (but I was happy that she was willing to see the truth once it became apparent to her). There's a strong attraction between Duncan and Amelia and they both have a hard time ignoring it and it's even worse for Amelia because of how she first viewed the Highlanders. It doesn't take too long for things to turn around enough that Amelia and Duncan are willing to try to be together. Unfortunately, there's some major drama and such to deal with before the end but Duncan and Amelia get through it and end the story together and starting a HEA.

This was a pretty enjoyable story. I liked Duncan as the hero...he made a good highlander hero and I had no real complaints about him. I liked Amelia overall but there was a time or two that I was unhappy with her actions and thought she was being too superior in her attitude about certain things. It wasn't anything major but she had this idea that she was right in her views (morals) and couldn't accept what others might want or need if it didn't agree with her tender sensibilities. It wasn't too bad though and she turned it around so by the end I liked her. The story was very good and had a bit of a surprising ending that I didn't expect so I'd recommend it.

* note - I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator did a great job with the accents but I will note that there were some odd pauses at certain times. The pauses weren't bad and overall I was pleased with the narration but it was just a bit weird at times.

I am giving this four stars because the story itself was very good and I liked where it was going. But, it seemed as if the author had a perfect idea of how it was supposed to be but it seemed to come out all at once but not rushed. I would definitely read more of this author's books because I do love the stories. With more experience I believe we will have some amazing things to read from her.

This was a pretty good story. Connie, a mechanical engineer from 1981 who plans out her life a little too rigidly, gets transported to medieval Scotland and meets Wilhelm, a Scottish man with progressive ideas for the future. As frequently occurs in time-travel romances, the female from the future is accused of being a witch and must be saved, which causes problems, shenanigans occur, old and new characters pop up, plot happens, and the story rolls on.

I've enjoyed all the books in this series so far, and the same is true for this one. I think I would have liked it better if it came first though, but that's more me being picky than an actual complaint. There are some books that the way they're written out makes it clear that another set of characters absolutely HAVE to have a book, and then it's really annoying when they're out of order, but from the way Connie and Wilhelm were written in "Wishing for a Highlander" I could be persuaded to believe that the Jessi Gage might have not originally planned to write their book (but later changed her mind when people kept requesting it).

I rounded up to four stars. The story was good and the characters were good. I did feel like it was flat at spots. I found myself skimming a lot. I don't know exactly what it was about it that made it seem disconnected in some spots. I am going to give book two a try and see if it was just me.

Surprisingly I liked this... don't know why. It's fun and good story.

This was  different than I'm use to reading. Most of the ones I have read the female was the sub andvtge male the Dom. This was a change I liked. This was a pretty good story.

A good story that kept me interested, but I did feel that there should have been more substance. I did enjoy the story, so I guess it is all good.

I enjoyed the story. I was interested the whole time and the hero is a pretty believable guy. He actually got hurt sometimes and didn't seem to be support human just trained and fit.

I'm new to this genre, but I really enjoyed the story.
