First I should say I did enjoy the story and have no regrets having read it. I did however feel that the story needed to be fleshed out a bit more, with more time for the couple together to show them falling in love. I also found that Katie was a little hard to like, as she went off the handle a few times that really didn't warrant that kind of reaction, and at times her character seemed inconsistent. I also kept waiting for something a little "more" to happen once they were in the past. The very ending was also very disconnected from the story - it seemed like there was a little too much info in the beginning that got edited out, thus making some of the discussion confusing and out of place. There were a couple of funny parts to the novel (thank you I love a good lol). Overall, this story was a nice addition to the series, yet there were several areas that could have been more developed IMO. *I received and ARC of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

I received a digital copy of his book in exchange for an honest review through NetGalley.

While I have read and appreciated a fair amount of Scottish Highlander-time travel-romances, this one didn't do it for me. I liked Katie's inner monologue a lot for its humor, but the reckless stubbornness, comments about her hero's body, and much too fast conversion of heart made the pacing and the attraction too exaggerated. Likewise, her hero has a one-note 'must protect Mistress Katie' tune, and two gears, depressed and protective, which made him fall flat. I liked the historical tie-in, the setting details, and some of the snappy dialogue, but there are others I've enjoyed reading much more.

I really enjoyed Ramsey and Katie's story!!

Ramsey rescues Katie when she crashes her car, but they are soon swept into a Druid ceremony and Katie is as confused as ever. She needs to get away from this crazy place. She does finally leave, but where she lands wasn't her planned destination...

Ramsay had his heart broken and isn't about to be taken in by a gorgeous stranger, but he soon find himself linked to her for life. As he quickly falls for Katie, can he get her to stay and build a life together?

I really liked this story. I loved that Katie was an archaeologist and knew her history. Although she seemed to freak out more than the other heroines of the series...This was a great addition to the series and I can't wait to see what Greyson comes up with next!

What a great adventure. Can't believe I've missed this author. Talented words, woven worlds and a trip of a lifetime. You can't beat anything else.

I had read the first book in this series and was intrigued by the premise of this one.

I liked Katie and Ramsay well enough. She’s sassy and he’s stoic and together they had a lot of potential. I would have liked to see more of them getting to know each other. Instead, they’re thrown into this weird situation and all of a sudden they’re in love. When it came to feelings and chemistry, it was definitely all tell and no show.

Plot wise, it was quick and slow at the same time. For me, this mostly read like a novella and that’s where the downfall was. Nothing felt fleshed out and while the story moved along, the rhythm was quite clunky and forced.

Overall, it was a quick read that kept me entertained. I definitely feel like there’s more to be known about this situation. If there’s another book, I would be interested.

**Huge thanks to LoveSwept for providing the arc free of charge**

I really wanted to like this book more. It started so well. I like the premise and love conquers all thematic elements.

I felt like the characters where thrown together and then completely lose their identities once thrown. At one point, I felt so bad for the male lead that started crying (not normal for me).

I did like that they "got married" first before the grittier scenes began. I also liked that the characters started strong.

Maybe if I had read the other books in the series I might feel differently about this one. It was the first one that I read in the series.

I loved that this is a little different take on the Highland Protectors. I definitely don’t want to spoil the fun of the little twist Katie and Ramsay’s story provides. But I will say that their’s is not a story to be missed. If you haven’t read the first two, go right now and do it! This is a fun series to binge read.
5 stars!!

Katie’s Highlander by Maeve Greyson was for the most part a comical and interesting read. I loved how the story began, it completely grabbed my attention. The heroine and hero were very intriguing in the beginning but the further I got into the story, the more I ended up disliking the heroine. Katie went from being likeable to rather annoying, her character is not consistent and bounces around a lot. I didn’t hate her completely, I just couldn’t connect with her. The hero was a lot more likeable and had the patience of a saint when it came to her. With that said though, the hero and heroine had great chemistry, it was a believable relationship. The story itself was interesting, I love time traveling stories and it flowed pretty good. There are some wonderful quotes in the book too. This story is explained well enough to pick up without reading the previous books but I think if I’d of read the others I may have enjoyed it more fully.

I will not tell you the story. I will not re-write the book. This author does too good a job. I will tell you it’s Katie story. I will tell you there is some of the funniest parts that you’ll ever read any book. Think of me when she’s holding his or she thinks she’s holding his wooden spear under his Killed. Think of me when you imagine her but through the moonroof stuck in her little car. But I also think of me when some of the sadness comes around. This is a story that hold you emotionally. From the very onset to the very end.. Another great read

This is actually book 3 in a series. But thankfully, the book explains itself well enough that you don’t need to read the first two to enjoy this one. Although some elements might make more sense if you do.

Initially, I thought this book was a full blown historical, but it actually starts in modern day and has time travel! Ok, still good. However, I felt this story actually dragged quite a bit and despite all the dead time, there was hardly any development between the characters Katie and Highlander Ramsey. The plot is very fatalistic and basically pushed these two together because fate says so and we are given very little of anything else. And despite it looking like a hot bodice ripper...there is very little steam.

Another thing I found very jarring was that based on the wardrobe descriptions, there wasn’t much research done on how ladies of the 10th century actually dressed. This might go unnoticed by the casual reader, but for history buffs like me, details like that are important.

All in all, this book was alright. It was fun in places and I LOVED Katie! I think she deserved a bit more development in her romance. I really wish I liked it more!

Katie's Highlander by Maeve Greyson is Book 3 in this series. I loved it! I love Scottish romances and this one will not disappoint. The story was well written and so full of details and culture of the 10th century. Katie and Ramsay are the main characters and the story worked so well between them. Time travel from 2016 to the 10th century and all that it entails. I was not expecting the time travel aspect but it worked so well. I have read the previous two books in this series, but this story can be read as a stand alone book. I highly recommend this story and look forward to more from Maeve Greyson.

I really enjoyed Katie's Highlander. The details were a big part of what made the story so interesting, but the romance between Katie and Ramsay and her struggle to accept life in the 10th century after living in 2016 was very realistic and compelling. Missing things like tampons, aspirin and coffee are true life and down to earth details that I really appreciated. Their love story and the people surrounding it were also well written. I started with Book 3 instead of Book 1 so I have some catching up to do but Katie's Highlander came totally be read as a stand alone. I definitely want to read more of Maeve Greyson's work!

KATIE’S HIGHLANDER – Maeve Greyson
A Highland Protector Novel

North Carolina – Present Day, Scotland – 8th Century

Background:

In ancient Scotland during the time of the druids, they banded together to form powerful clans to protect their beliefs. The strongest clan was the MacDara and the favorite of the three goddesses. It was the MacDara clan that was tasked to guard the blessed Heartstone, a sentient being. Today, the Highland Protectors are scattered around the world, but the MacDaras are in modern day North Carolina where they still protect the Heartstone.

The four sons of the MacDara clan, Alec, Grant, Ramsay, and Ross, as well as their parents Sarinda, and Emrys, high chieftain of all the clans, are transplanted to North Carolina where they built a replica of their home, and operate a Highland Life and Legends themepark. Alec and Grant are married, but Ramsay and Ross remain eligible, despite the workings of Dwyn, a mysterious sage who manipulates the world around him.

Katie Jenson is on a sabbatical from teaching archeology at Princeton and, after losing her beloved father recently, just wants a respite at the shore. But fate has stepped in in the form of a brawny hero with a Scottish accent who has come upon Katie after she runs her car off the road. His name is Ramsay, and with few words, he slings Katie over his horse, and rides off with her to his home. Katie is stunned, angry, and confused by this behavior and makes no bones about it. Meeting Ramsay’s rather interesting family, who welcome her with open arms, confuses her even more. It’s obvious that they observe old traditions. However once settled in her room, after way too much to drink, she realizes just how strikingly handsome Ramsay is And how he ticks her off with his “I’m the man” attitude. In the morning, she has breakfast with his father, and heads off to arrange for her car to be repaired.

Ramsay is dumbstruck by the stubborn, outspoken, but beautiful Katie. He fights his attraction, but it’s difficult when his father and Dwyn manipulate him and Katie until it becomes clear that something is going to change. Emrys threatens Ramsay, Katie defends him, and they soon find themselves married. But it doesn’t end there, despite what Katie feels is not a legal union. She ignores the warning to “keep to the path”, storms off, and awakens in eighth century Scotland with her braw, Highlander husband, who, it seems, is the leader of the clan.

KATIE’S HIGHLANDER is book three in the Highland Protector series. It’s a fun read with great characters and obviously well researched. Do read the previous two books, SADIE’S HIGHLANDER and JOANNA’S HIGHLANDER to find out more about Ramsay’s family.

This is the third book in the series and I'm loving the series it's very hard to find a good time travel book/series this is one of the good ones I'm glad they decided to stay in the past it seemed like the best fit for them both especially since Katie is an archeologist I can't wait to see more from them,when they get to visit the future .and visit their family

ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The book starts off with a recap of previous installments in the series in order to bring the reader up to speed so that this installment can be read as a standalone without the reader being completely lost. Recapping how the family ended up in the future. Also informing the reader as to why Ramsay is a bit reluctant to fall in love.
This book starts off a little slow but once the action starts, there is no let up. I found myself unable to put it down once I was absorbed in it. I love a good time travel romance, throw in a little bit of Scotland and Druids and I am in. I will be purchasing the other installments in this series as soon as possible.

I will admit that the cover caught my attention, along with the synopsis, and I didn't realize this was part of a series. The good news is that you don't really have to read the others in order to understand this one. The author did a fairly good job of explaining the premise and why Ramsey was a bit of a time traveler. Now, I did love the time travel aspect and I thought the chemistry between the Ramsey and Katie was awesome. The main problem I had was that the plot itself was just so slow. Throughout most of the book, there wasn't a whole lot going on and I was a bit bored, to be honest. I did get more interested when they both traveled back in time, but I quickly lost interest because, again, not much was happening. I didn't really understand why they were sent back there. I never did get it. And the ending was a bit meh. This was an okay read, but I wasn't overly thrilled with it.

This was my first time reading any of the Highlander books in this series. I was interested from the very first chapter. Katie is funny, focused, and the perfect match for a tall and stubborn Highlander. I am always looking for a good romance and this was exactly right. It had humor, history, and passion. What more could a reader want? Don't worry that you have to read the whole series to know what is going on. This book works just fine as a stand alone. I am very much looking forward to reading up on how the other brothers met their wives.

Maeve didn't disappoint with Katie and Ramsay's story. It was just as hot and exciting as the others were. I can't wait for more from Maeve.

I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an review. I really struggled with the beginning of this book and almost DNF’d it. But once it got going it was hard to put down. I love me some highlanders and. Time travel. The book was peppered with authentic sounding Gaelic which lent it some character. I read Outlander and none of the words used were the same. So I don’t know. I enjoyed reading about the Druid culture and the clans. If you want to go back in time read this book I enjoyed it. This is my first book by this author. I will go back and read the first two books in the series. I didn’t care for the vision sharing at the end. It was telling not showing. The epilogue didn’t really center around the couple. I didn’t get anything from it.

This book has a great storyline but something was lacking. Katie and Ramsay are brought together by the Scottish goddesses, but it didn’t seem like they bonded all that well. They were always at odds with each other, especially Katie who really needs to control her temper! Yet with all the stilted conversation that didn’t pull them forward, they fall in love with each other. Loved the storyline, didn’t love the flow of the book.
