"Tempting the Highlander" is the 4th book in Janet Chapman's Pine Creek Highlander series. I highly recommend reading the series in order, as the entire family's story unfolds and characters from previous books are mentioned throughout. Here are the previous books in the series in reading order:
- Charming the Highlander
- Loving the Highlander
- Wedding the Highlander
Janet Chapman is one of my favorite romance authors. Her books always leave me with a smile on my face. After reading one of her Pine Creek books, I always wish that I could be part of the MacKeage clan. The women are all very strong characters and the men are, well, Scottish and perfect. Seriously, the men in the books remind me of my husband - they are good men, devoted to their families, hard-working, tall, and strikingly handsome.
In this book, the focus is on Robbie MacBain (a guardian) and his time-travel adventures to save his extended family. Caught up in the magic that surrounds Pine Creek is Catherine, a woman on the run from her abusive ex-husband with her two small children. Catherine and her children come to live and work as his housekeeper in Robbie MacBain's house with his four male teenage foster children. Robbie quickly grows to love Catherine but Catherine has to let go of her troubled past, along with her fears, before she can commit to a relationship with Robbie.The relationships among the characters are quite tender, particularly the growing friendships between the foster boys and Catherine's children.
I highly recommend this book to anybody who enjoys paranormal romance with a time-travel aspect. For those who like to know, there is only one "scene of passion" in this book and it was quite mild. As well, Robbie and Catherine are married before they become physically intimate.
