Katie's Highlander, by Maeve Greyson is an entertaining paranormal romance that mixes historical highlanders with contemporary times.

The MacDara clan is tasked with the honor of guarding the sacred Heartstone. Due to extreme difficulties and violence in 10th century Scotland, the MacDara family is transported to the 21st century in North Carolina.

Ramsey MacDara, a former Highland warrior, is now working at a Scottish historical theme park called Highland Life and Legends, which his parents and siblings own and operate while concealing their ancient past and continuing to protect the secret ancient Heartstone. While living in the 21st century, Ramsey keeps to himself as a loner, until he meets Katie Jenson, who is on a six-month sabbatical from her university job. Katie is determined to live life to the fullest, which is her father's dying request for her. Ramsey and and Katie are attracted to each other, which leads interesting adventures between the modern-day Highlander and devoted archaeologist.

With a mix of modern day and historic highlander romance, it's an interesting story with captivating characters and humorous interactions, as well as with paranormal activities intermixed. Since it's the third book in the Highlander Protector series, it's ideal to start with the first book, due to the plentiful secondary characters mentioned. Plus, it's a highly enjoyable book series!

Katie's Highlander is geared towards those who enjoy reading time travel novels in which mixes contemporary, paranormal, and highlander romances.

Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I loved this book. The way the author wove the tale was perfect. Ramsey and Katie were so great. She was a little spitfire and he loved it. Loved the back in time part of the book and how Katie grew to love it. Would highly recommend.

This fantasy universe was not my cup of tea, but it will certainly be someone else's. There's time travel between rural North Carolina and ninth century Scotland to pair off the family of Druid protector kilted hunks with modern lasses. It's a rare and airy confection, I mean concept, and includes explicit sexual situations for the grownups. The execution is flawless.

It is the third brother's turn, and he rescues a fair maiden from a rural ditch who turns out to be an archaeology student on her way back to Princeton. The goddesses of this time-stream have other plans than graduate school, which swing into place as the sacred spear Ramsay wields liberates her first from her shattered auto and then from this century.

I wish I could say that Katie’s Highlander is the best of the Highland Protector series so far, but I have enjoyed all three of the books in the series equally. The uniqueness of each is what keeps you interested. The time travel aspect, add in the Scottish history, along with the closeness of the family, and this series is amazing!

Neither Katie nor Ramsay were looking for a relationship or love, but they found both in each other. The development of their relationship was slow and thorough with challenges along the way. Starting with Ramsay helping Katie from her wrecked car, he was interested. Interested enough to keep her car from being repaired quickly. Her frustration with the situation and continued frustration did not keep Katie from falling for Ramsay, even when a possible former lover shows up.

Once Ramsay realizes he truly is in love, nothing will keep him from protecting Katie. Their desire to take care of the other allows you to see into the heart of these two lovers.

The family dynamics add to the enjoyment of this tale as you continue to learn more about the family and where they are following the previous two books. The elderly father of whom every one worries, the short spunky mother and the trying little sister keep the realism of what any meddlesome family could be like. Dwyn and the goddesses love to stir up any situation reminding the MacDara clan who is really in charge of protecting the protectors.

Katie’s Highlander is definitely a stand-alone book, but I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them in succession.

This book was just okay to me. Silly romance. My major problem was the side narration where the author told you exactly what each character was actually thinking. Not a big fan of this type of writing. I would rather infer from the author's descriptions. Decent romance and smoky love scenes, the story just did not hold my interest and I had to make myself finish the book.

Katie's Highlander
Highland Protector #3
By Maeve Greyson
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ramsay MacDara wishes the goddesses had left him back in the tenth century. This way he never would have fallen in love with the woman who only wanted his family's money and made an utter fool of him. He is a loner at heart and more at home with the 4 legged beasts then he is with any human. One night he is riding in the woods whe he hears the sound of tires screeching, followed by a loud thud so ofcourse he rushes at the chance to help. That's when he can not believe what he's seeing a pair of perfect long legs sticking out of the moon roof of a mangled car. He then helps her and takes her home for the night even though he isn't all that happy about it.

Katie Jenson is an Archaeologist on a six month sabbatical from her job at Princeton University as she has just lost her Father. She is headed to a friends beach house in North Carolina in a bid to follow her father's dying request to live life to it's fullest. Now a momentary distraction takes her off of the road and on the journey of her life with a sex God in a kilt by her side. Ramseys passion is the stuff of legend and it just may be Katie's greatest discovery yet.

Maeve Greyson takes you on a journey of finding love in the most mysterious way. At first Katie is attracted to Ramsey however he gives her mixed feelings, but as the story goes on things do heat up. He also has the strangest family which I have come to really like. Ms. Greyson is a talented author and I would love to read more from her including the first two books.

This can be read as a standalone as there is an explanation that explains the family history.

I hadn't read any other books from this author before - but I enjoyed this one enough to make me look for others. This is part of a series but is an entirely stand alone book. Fun story line - if you like Janet Chapman's highlander stories - you'll like this!

This was such a sweet time travel romance! The goddesses throw Katie in Ramsay’s path and it was so cute! Ramsay isn’t so sure about a new relationship but his destiny says otherwise. They had great chemistry even though they bumped heads! I loved Katie but I hated when she was upset with Ramsay because she decided not to listen to advice given to them in the first place 😩. I loved how confident and lovable Ramsay was once he was comfortable!
I enjoyed the story and thought it flowed well and I’m now interested in reading the first two books!

*Received ARC from NetGalley 💙

I really love this Highlander series. Katie & Ramsay were fun to get to know. I love the time travel between present day & tenth century Scotland. I really hope the next book is about the sister. Highly recommend reading this book!

Katie's Highlander by Maeve Greyson is book Three in the Highlander Protector Series. This is the story of Katie Jenson and Ramsay MacDara. I have read the previous books (Loved Them) but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do this.
Katie is a Archaeologist who just lost her father a few months ago. On break she is traveling through
North Carolina where she ends up getting into a accident. Ramsay happens to find her and takes her back to his family home. Ramsay isn't trusting of love or his feelings since he was scorned by a women. So he tries to fight his growing feelings but the goddesses and his family isn't allowing that. Katie finds Ramsay attractive but he gives mix feelings back not to mention his strange family.
Loved this book and the series!

So I started it and though, oh no a contemporary story...not for me...but then I kept going and bam, I got hooked. Ramsey is really a wonderful hero. Strong, romantic, sexy...and possessive! It took a while for me to warm up to Katie...she's a bit of a b____. In fact, it wasnt till late in the story I finally saw a heart in her.
The story is wonderful, and I hope we have more in this series.

Because I have to have all the background,, I read the two preceding books. The first was pretty good. The second was a mirror image of the first so I didn't hold out much hope for the third. I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole new story.! I'd
love to read a follow up to this storyline. I hope there is more showing what happens to Ross and Esme and allowing Ramsay and Katie to travel forward to keep up with the rest of the family's activities. I love the really strong characterization of all the protectors and the strong women who were picked to accompany them on their journey through life.

This book was gifted to me by the author and publisher in return for an honest review.

This was an ok book. I am not a big fan of time travel so I had a hard time getting into this book.

Another winner though the ending was not what I expected it worked. I love Maeve Greysons books so much I diligently watch for her emails and social media. Now there is one more brother to write about but I do hope she will write a 5th. Book about the sister and than a 6th. reunion book that ties everything up.

Katie’s Highlander by Maeve Greyson is the third book in her Highland Protector series. The novel is a historical romance with a twist. Though this is the third in a series, and I have not read the previous two novels, the author has done an excellent job in making it a standalone.

The MacDara’s are a Druid clan and have always been chosen as protectors of the goddesses, Danu, Scota and Bride. The family has been transported through time from medieval Scotland to present-day North Carolina, but are transported back in time whenever the goddesses deem that their services are needed to protect them and an ancient relic known as the Heartstone. There are four MacDara sons. Alec (Sadie’s Highlander), Grant (Joanna’s Highlander), Ramsay whose romantic tale is told here in Katie’s Highlander and youngest son Ross, whose story I assume will be told in the next installment of the series.

Katie Jenson, archaeologist and professor at Princeton University, crashes her car in scenic Brady, North Carolina and is rescued from her folly by Ramsay MacDara, Highland warrior born in 884 AD and keeper of the sacred spear. The two personalities clash, but love blossoms when the couple is transported back in time to tenth century Scotland. I was taken with both handsome, kilted Ramsay and Katie, whose internal commentary kept me laughing. The story takes some interesting twists, and the plot held my attention the entire time. I loved the ending so much that I actually cried.

I have read many time-travel romance novels, and Katie’s Highlander is certainly among the best. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. I plan to read the previous two novels in the series, which I immediately purchased upon completion of this one, and eagerly await the next. I recommend this book to lovers of historical romance and fans of time-travel. If you abhor well-written fiction, this is certainly not the book for you.

My thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. However, the opinions expressed in this review are 100% mine and mine alone.

Ramsay McDara wishes he could be sent back to the tenth century in order to forget the disastrous relationship he just experienced in the present. Archaeologist Katie Jenson is on a six month vacation in North Carolina when her car gets stuck in a ditch. Ramsay sees the car and offers his assistance. When they set eyes on one another, their lives are linked… and changed forever.
This was a great historical romance with enough heat and suspense to keep the pages turning. I loved the main characters and how they grew in their love for one another. I loved the way the author used the time change in this story to show the growth of science and medicine. I can’t wait to read the next story. I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.

Katie's Highlander is the third book in the Highland Protector series but can be read as a stand alone. The novel pulls you into a modern day romance between an american archeologist and a highlander from another time. Maeve Greyson weaves a tale of romance and history that will draw you in from the first chapter and leave you begging for more at the end. This is a must read for historical/supernatural romance lovers.

This was a well-written, entertaining book. Katie is on a six-month sabbatical from her job and on her way to a friend's beach house when she has a car accident. Ramsay is riding his horse through the woods near his family’s North Carolina theme park when he finds Katie stuck in her car. Unexpected adventures follow and they have to join forces to make it through. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading others by this author.

This was the first of the series that I read, and I don't think you need to read any of the others to understand this one. Katie's Highlander is a humorous romantic travel title. There isn't much to say, the writing was clear, the romance believable and well, nothing else really matters.

Katie's Highlander is simply breathtaking. A good solid historical romance with a strong plot and compelling characters. A+++
