Secrets of the Highlander

All I can say is....keep on writing Janet. I cannot wait for the next book.

I read each and every book from this series in order and nonstop. OMG...What an amazing experience Granted there were some characters that I loved thoughout the series. One of the things that most impressed me is we really get to see the happily ever after throughout the series. If you have the money and can afford to buy the whole set, that is the experience that you are shooting for from this author. Chapman is creative funny, and sincere with these characters and you feel the love between main players as well as the family they have around them. After all those books I was still left wanting more. I passed my set to my sister. She calls me at the end of each one to discuss the new characters, the new dynamic they'll create in future novels in the series. Truly a fun read. The best read since my first historical romance (Knight in Shining Armor).

Megan MacKeage is one of the seven, very independent daughters of Laird MacKeage who, many know from the other Highlander books. She has returned home pregnant and fuming at her bad instincts. The man she fell in love with, and the father of her child, (Wayne Ferris), dropped her like a hot potato when she told him of her love and pregnancy. She is just starting to venture out after spending some time "licking her wounds" when suddenly everyone is trying to set her up with the town's new sheriff. What will happen when it turns out that the new sheriff (Jack Stone) is none other than the man Megan knew as Wayne Ferris. He claims to have followed her because he loves her. He states that he sent her away for her protection, yeah right. Can Megan ever trust this secretive man again? Lord knows her body recognizes him. Unfortunately, the former highlander Kenzie has asked Megan to help him with two special projects and sworn her to secrecy. Will these secrets cause her and Jack to never be able to come together or will they work through their differences and form the family unit that both want? Secrets of the Highlander is a wonderful addition to the Highlander Series by Janet Chapman. The book is completely a stand-alone story, but those who have followed the entire series will also be drawn back into the lives of a few "friends". I loved how Grace gives Megan advice that is always right on, but also doesn't force the advice on her girls, unless they ask for it. Additionally, Ms. Chapman writes about strong women who in their own ways are "warriors", though their men might not originally agree, unless they stop to think about it. I can hardly wait for Camy to find her match, and I hope she has her own book coming out. Ms. Chapman definitely has a winner with Secrets of the Highlander. Tanya reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Although I really expected for Megan to hook up with Kenzie, I could see how that couldn't be. Megan was still in love and in hurt with her baby's father. Jack Stone isn't like the normal alpha male nor is he like the men Megan's family. I like the fact that the author let Megan be the warrior in this book and she needed someone that is going to support her. The only problem that I had with this book is the way it glossed over the issue with Mark Collins. That could have been meatier, but just to let it end the way it did was cheasy. But all in all it was a good, good, read.

Janet Chapman's books are like sex and sugar cookies. As soon as I finish one - I want more.
