BOOK SUMMARY
Maeve Greyson unleashes a thrilling tale of
magic and desire as a feisty Southern gal falls into the arms of a rough-hewn
Highland chieftain.
As the
proprietor of a homeopathic store in rural Kentucky, Trulie Sinclair knows that
her neighbors think she’s strange—but they have no idea how strange she really
is. Trulie was born in Scotland in the thirteenth century to a line of
time-traveling Highlanders. When Trulie’s grandmother convinces her to return
to their homeland, Trulie jumps back in time, right onto the powerful chest of
Gray MacKenna. Just as his steely good looks send ripples through her body,
their fierce attraction will send ripples through the ages.
After his
parents murdered, Gray is consumed by thoughts of revenge. As the new chieftain
of the MacKenna clan, he has reason to believe that there’s a traitor in his
midst, and nothing—not even the bonny lass who suddenly drops from the sky—can
distract him from his single-minded pursuit of the culprit. But when Gray
learns that this sassy beauty possesses gifts beyond the sparkle in her eye, he
allows his gaze, and his heart, to linger. While he hunts for the murderer,
Gray finds in Trulie a precious companion—and a timeless love.

EXCERPT
A
fine upstanding clan. A MacKenna.
That was all the proof Trulie needed. No wonder Granny wasn’t upset. The
conniving old woman orchestrated the entire thing. How many times had she
begged Granny to stop meddling?
“And that’s another thing—” Trulie cursed under her breath as one
rubber boot decided to stay behind as she took a step forward out of the muck.
“Watch your mouth.” Granny shook a warning finger as though Trulie
were still a child. “I didna raise ye to talk like that.”
Trulie gripped the side of the truck, shoved her foot back down into
the wet boot, and twisted it free of the sucking mire. The next run to the barn
to fetch the cured oils, either Kenna or one of the twins was coming with her.
Granny was hereby banned from all visits to the backwoods no matter how much
the girls complained. And Kismet could stay home and watch over the girls
instead of Karma. She’d had it with that damn cat. Trulie sloshed forward and
bit back another curse word as she whacked her knee on the bent running board
of the truck. This night just kept getting better by the minute. “Where do you
think I learned those words, Granny?” Trulie doubled over and massaged her
throbbing knee. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.
A louder snort was Granny’s only response.
Trulie hoisted herself up into the bed of the truck and slammed open
the back window. Granny wasn’t going to avoid the real issue here so easily. A
sword-wielding man—one scantily clad in a kilt no less—in the backwoods of
Kentucky was not an everyday occurrence. “Would you like to tell me what you
know about Mr. Deer-in-the-headlights, or am I going to have to get the truth
from him?”
If
I can find him. The nagging voice in the back of her mind
grew louder, insisting Trulie acknowledge the truth: the mysterious man was
more than likely one of Granny’s better illusions. The old woman had tried for
years to teach Trulie how to pluck an individual’s consciousness from the past
or the future and stitch it so tightly into the present that it appeared as
though they were physically there. Trulie had never been quite able to pull it
off. Granny, on the other hand, was quite adept at that particular time-runner
gift.
“Stay here, Kismet. Trulie’s being hardheaded again.” Granny pushed
open the door and deftly hopped out of the truck. The black cat blinked one
glowing eye as though winking in response.
“Granny, please get back in the truck. You’re gonna fall and break
your neck.” Trulie straightened from the truck’s back window and rubbed the
corners of her tired, gritty eyes. She was in no mood to go through this again.
Granny had shifted into conniving overdrive lately to convince Trulie to
accompany her back to the past. Trulie wouldn’t mind a brief jaunt back to the
thirteenth century, but Granny wanted to pull up stakes and relocate. The old
woman was sick of using the twenty-first century as home. She wanted to return
to their roots—permanently. The determined scowl on Granny’s face was a dead
giveaway. Granny, prime source of all Sinclair stubbornness DNA, had gone one
step further in her plan to travel to thirteenth-century Scotland. She had gone
to the extreme of pulling some poor unsuspecting Scot’s consciousness out of
his own reality, and she’d plopped him right in front of Trulie’s truck.
CAT'S REVIEW
"My Highland Lover" by Maeve Greyson. This is one that I truly enjoyed. It's the story of Trulie- a time traveler and Gray, a Highlander. I really liked both main characters. Trulie had me smiling throughout with all her inner thoughts. Gray is one sexy Highlander that has a heart of gold. I thought Ms. Greyson did a phenomenal job of explaining the time travel - obviously, time travel can be a bit far fetched but it was done in a manner that was believable. The story moved at a really good pace - there was lots going on but I never felt lost. If you enjoy historical romances with a twist of time travel, I would highly recommend Ms. Greyson's "My Highland Lover". I'm looking forward to the next book of the series too!
