HIGHLANDER FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Janet Chapman

Reviewed by Vicky Gilpin
Posted October 10, 2011

Suspense

Jessie Pringle's friends think she's nuts and hiding from memories of a damaging attack by going to Pine Creek, Maine. However, the tight-knit community, while overbearing to some, feels absolutely perfect for Jessie. She never bargained for Ian MacKeage, a man whose attitudes, and many of his family members, seem to have emerged from the far past. Jessie's fearful of sharing herself because the attack left her self-conscious of her damaged body, but Ian wants to make sure she knows she's beautiful in his eyes. If this weren't enough for one woman to deal with, she has the cryptic prophecies of an old trader who seems to know Ian and his family extremely well.

A sweet story that does not hide, romanticize, nor vilify how one woman reacts to trauma, HIGHLANDER FOR THE HOLIDAYS encourages happy reflections that dreams can come true---particularly when they're helped along by great characterization, magical circumstances, and a sweet dog named Toby!

SUMMARY

After a brutal attack, Jessie Pringle moved to the small mountain town of Pine Creek, Maine, to start over. But she never expected to meet Ian MacKeage, who had seemingly stepped right out of the Scottish Highlands. As drawn to Ian as he is to her, Jessie finds it more and more difficult to deny her own desires... Then, on one of her long walks through the wilderness, she meets a kindly hermit who sells her a walking stick-one imbued with a magic that may allow Jessie to finally be rid of the pain of her past, and build a future with Ian.
