Dawna’s review of A Highlander’s Destiny (Daughters of the Glen, Book 5) by Melissa Mayhue
Time Travel Romance published by Pocket 29 Dec 09
There are good things and bad things about reading one of Melissa Mayhue’s stories. The good part is I am totally enamored with her Daughters of the Glen series. The bad part: I don’t get anything else done once I pick up one of her books. I knew A Highlander’s Destiny was going to be a winner the instant I went to three different bookstore locations to hunt it down and they were all sold out. I wasn’t disappointed once I got my hands on my own copy.
Jesse Coryell is another descendant of the Fae. He’s a tough guy and takes his work seriously. Jesse doesn’t believe in fate and when his little niece tells him it’s time to find his destiny, he chalks it up to her wild imagination. But somehow “destiny” keeps popping up one way or another, and when he sees an email from a potential client whose name just happens to be Destiny, he is drawn to help her.
Destiny Noble wants nothing more than to find her younger sister. Leah is all she has after being abandoned by everyone she has ever cared about. The police have declared her sister a runaway, but Destiny doesn’t believe that for an instant. Her visions have shown her the truth. They’ve also led her to Coryell Enterprises and the man destined to help her in her quest.
Together, Jesse and Destiny must race against time to save Leah from the Naudians. Destiny will do anything to get her sister back. But when her feelings for Jesse come to a head, she has to choose between her love for Jesse or saving her sister.
A Highlander’s Destiny is an absolute must read. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and found myself cheering them along. There is so much at stake for these two. Ms. Mayhue does a superb job of drawing you in and captivating you with this story. She works true magic with her words.
Grade: A+
