Highland Dream

Tess Mallory really out-did herself on her trilogy on time-travel to the Scottish Highlands.From the very first page the stories grab your attention and never lets go. I got up very early in the mornings and read until I finished each book at night. If there was a rating higher than 5, I would rate the book at least a 10.

Hysterical romp through time! I loved this story! I was laughing the entire time and wished it hadn't ended! I loved the characters of Jix and Jamie, they were funny and real. Definately one of my favorites this year!~Jix Ferguson was determined to get her best friend Sam out of an impending wedding even if she had to kidnap her and take her to Scotland! After tricking her into the flight, Sam and Jix aren't getting along and end up stranded in Scotland in the rain after their rental car breaks down miles from the castle they were to stay for the weekend! If that isn't the worst part, Jix is convinced Sam's 'future love' is residing in Scotland they just met him standing in the doorway!Jamie MacGregor opens the door to his uncle's castle estate that is well over 300 years old to find two bedraggled women standing in the doorway, and the redhead has fallen down on her face! When their eyes meet, sparks fly immediately. Jamie is not prepared for how he feels.Another problem arises when Jamie shows the girls his ansestral sword and they begin to argue heatedly over it when they find themselves hurled back in time, about 300 years to seventeenth century Scotland where the MacGregor clan are outlawed by the King!Now all Jix will have to do is marry the Clan's son Griffon and Jamie must save the clan, but all in all, it's not too hard, especially when she sings verses of 'I Will Survive' and they find themselves running for their lives! Oh yeah, and they need to find the sword and Sam before they can go home! Can they 'survive'? Will Jix be able to keep her hands off the gorgeous Scot long enough to convince Sam he was meant for her? Will Sam forgive her for kidnapping and throwing her back in time to a waring Scotland? Will Jamie fall for Jix or will he find his heart meant for Sam as in Jix's dream?I was on the floor with this one! I loved it! Something to brighten anyone's day! A real laugh and well worth the money! And by the way, Jamie is hot ;)Tracy Talley~@

I couldn't put it down. Tess Mallory does it again. A great adventure romance. I really felt transported along with Jix. The characters were lively and fresh, and began to feel like friends by the end. I hope there's a sequel in the works!

I'm glad I didn't take the other reviewer's word for it and read Highland Dream myself. What a wonderful read! I couldn't wait for the next chapter to learn what would happen next! If you are looking for a wild ride full of laughs, love, and adventure pick up this book. Highland Dream is a fun romantic comedy, and the characters are all well rounded and loveable. Sure there's a little fluff, but isn't that why we read in the first place? If all you want is straight, boring, realism then turn on the evening news and forget this great adventure; but if you want to be swept away through time in a side-splitting farce then do yourself a favor and read Highland Dream.

Tess Mallory proves once again she is a master storyteller with a funny, madcap, adventure romance that will keep you reading until the very end. When Jix Ferguson has a dream that makes her believe her best friend is making a terrible mistake marrying, Jix kidnaps her friend and takes her to the Highlands of Scotland. Jix believes her friend should marry Jamie MacGregory, the man in her dream. When an ancestral sword takes Jix, Jamie and her friend into the past, they soon discover that nothing is simple about time travel, Highland politics, or love. Jix is a heroine you'll cheer for and the hero Jamie truly deserves the proverbial title of "to die for."Highland Dream is a book you shouldn't miss! Denise A.
