Mackenzie Stewart’s in Scotland for a much-needed vacation. During the castle tour, Mackenzie becomes completely enamored with a painting of one of the previous lairds. Two gentlemen come up behind her and, begging her pardon, they kidnap her, dragging her through time. The men are sorcerers attempting to end a feud that has plagued their lands for years. Their patron has begun to dabble in the black arts, and between his irrational thirst for power, and his dark secret, the sorcerers are frightened. They believe Mackenzie can break the Stewart curse. They try to convince her to play along with their crazy scheme: marriage to the evil John Campbell. Before Mackenzie can protest, her carriage is halted and the door thrown open. For a split-second she is arrested by the same beautiful piercing blue eyes that belonged in an oil painting. Mackenzie then finds herself the victim of a second kidnapping! Her new captor, however, does nothing but tempt her body and her temper. Believing her to in fact be the betrothed of his mortal enemy the Campbell, Connor originally sets out to capture his enemy’s betrothed. He never thought he would be so attracted to her that he’d want to keep her. Rating: Spicy

I really enjoyed this book. The story was well written, I loved the characters. There were a few editing issues, but they really didn't detract from the story.
Actually it was a 3 and 1/2 stars. I liked Mackenzie even if there were some TSTL moments. I liked Connor a little less: he couldn't decide if he wanted to believe her or not till the very end - it was frustrating! The Campbell was such an cardboard character...Also the whole time-travel idea could ...
Perhaps I've read too many Highlander romances... maybe I'm just cranky... but this book? It pushed me beyond limits. The plot sounds great: A 21st century woman is whisked back in time by two mysterious men claiming to be sorcerers. They tell her that she's the only hope to stop the Campbell, an En...
In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit, a big part of me didn't want to read this book. I "met" Laura Hunsaker on Goodreads, having no idea she was an author. We're in some of the same groups; we chat about what we're reading. Then I won a contest where her book was the prize. I was...
