When he wakes, he discovers he has no memory. As he remembers his lost past, Ian finds that his need to protect the woman who has saved his life eclipses his duty to his king and country.

REVIEWS: "Very realistic story and strong characters will keep you entranced through it all. I felt it was fairly easy to relate to the characters, and the events were believable. The magic added a great flare to it all I especially loved that Keely had the help of an angel to guide her where she needed to be. Ian was a magnificent example of an alpha male. He was always trying to take charge, and I loved his protective side as well. Keely was a bit stubborn, but who doesn't like a headstrong woman? It is so nice to see a woman who can hold her own every now and then and not have to depend on a man in every bad situation." Reviewed by Pamela of Fallen Angel Reviews, 3 ANGELS “Highland
Magic captivates and spins with incredible characters that are
not only strong but deliver dynamic passion as they search their
love for one another. The way Keely and Ian response to each other
is truly captivating. They show their vulnerability even when
it comes to making errors in judgment and together they work to
make it better. As witches were often feared and burned alive,
Keely must keep her powers hidden from the world or one little
misunderstanding can shout to the world that she practices with
the dark side when in reality, she doesn’t do such but the
villagers don’t really believe this and make her feel as
if she doesn’t belong. This in itself enhances the story,
since Keely goes through her days feeling like she will always
be alone for the exception of Whipple. Then when one handsome
stranger enters her midst, her heart practically melts. Keely
gives a great heads up performance as an almost shy little girl
who would love to fit in and find passion with someone forever.
The well-rounded secondary characters blend in making the story
feel as if it is a huge sketching on canvas and being enacted
for all to see. "Mr. Young has definitely done it again with her second book of the 'Highland Trilogy'. Her first book, Highland Honor, introduced us to the powerful MacPherson clan. This book continues the non-stop drama which leaves you on the edge of your seat as you follow Keely and Ian along on their adventures. Filled with romantic anticipation, this love story will leave you very entertained." Reviewed by Vianna Renaud of TCM Reviews "Ms. Young is a fantastic writer who has created an enchanting story of love amidst turmoil. The characters are strong, but believable; making mistakes along the way. Sensuous yet tasteful love scenes will leave you breathless. Readers young and old will highly enjoy this classic tale of danger and romance." Reviewed by Bonnie-Lass for Coffee Time Romance, 3 CUPS |

Excerpt: "Nay, Obrian. Ye cannot do this. Ye are weak, and ye've been in bed with a ragging fever. Ye might harm yerself." His laughter rose from the back of his throat. "The fever was desire for ye. There is naught I can do to change your mind?" Slowly regaining her senses, she pushed away from him, her hands flat on his chest, knowing if he kissed her, she would give in to her passion and the desire that rose so swiftly with his touch. She had been taught right from wrong. They were not wed and in the eyes of God, this could not happen. Yet he didn't heed her protest. He did not let her go. Instead, he closed his eyes and held fast to her, his hands so very still upon her. "Obrian, ye cannot do this. 'Tis not right and we would both regret the deed." Her head roared and her heart thundered with rising passion, but she pushed her need and her longing for this man aside to do what was right, what she'd been taught. "Ian," he said matter of fact. "'Tis my name. And I would not regret making love with ye, lass. Ye are a very beautiful woman." His fingers closed over her hand, dark against light, so very large his hand swallowed hers. Keely's pulse gave an odd little skip at the sound of his name. She looked upon him with wonder. "Ye remember yer name? What else? What else do ye remember?" Despite the excitement this revelation brought, she feared the answers as much as she dreaded his not knowing. "Only my name." His voice was solemn and she heard a hint of anger coupled with frustration. He squeezed her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing her knuckles one at a time. "It will have to do for now." |

Author BIO: Born in Medford, Oregon, novelist Christine Young has lived in Oregon all of her life. After graduating from Oregon State University with a BS in science, she spent another year at Southern Oregon State University working on her teaching certificate, and a few years later received her Master's degree in secondary education and counseling. Now the long, hot days of summer provide the perfect setting for creating romance. She sold her first book, Dakota's Bride, the summer of 1998 and her second book, My Angel to Kensington. Each fall, Christine returns to the classroom - and the pool - as a math teacher and high school swimming coach. Her teaching and writing careers have intertwined with raising three children. Yet summer still seems to be lucky for romance. Awe-struck e-books will release another of Christine's historical romances in August 2006, Highland Honor. Christine and her husband of 28 years live in Salem, Oregon, where she is currently working on another novel. |
