Sandy M's review of Sword of the Highlands by Veronica Wolff
Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 27 May 08
While I enjoyed the characters and the time travel aspect of this book, even learning something new about Scotland's history, I didn't like the fact that the hero and heroine spent so much time apart. I know the battles the hero faced and won for the Royalist cause at that time in history is important, but I felt bogged down, sometimes bored, with so much of it and then irritated with it because that's what kept the main characters separated.

Sandy M's review of Master of the Highlands by Veronica Wolff
Paranormal Historical Romance published by Berkley 5 Feb 2008
As a time travel fan, I did like this book, but I'm also a little disappointed in it. Therefore, I'm unsure what grade to give it. Maybe those of you who have also read it will help me out.

Gwen's review of Master of the Highlands by Veronica Wolff
Timetravel romance released by Berkley Sensation 5 Feb 08
I like a good historical. I like a good paranormal. Mix them together and I'm a pretty happy little camper. Timetravels generally give me the best of both worlds. When timetravel is done well (such as K.M.Moning's Beyond the Highland Mist, still my fave), it's pure escapist entertainment that a reader can lose themselves in. When it's done poorly, it's painful to read and stretches suspension of disbelief - a critical element with timetravels - beyond its tensile strength. This book falls somewhere between the two extremes.
[Side note: The author's site is very pretty - takes a bit to load and uses Flash, but very pretty pictures. Warning - the site plays music, but at least you can toggle it off.]
