Highland Rogue

I enjoyed reading Tess Mallory's time travel books. It's been several years since she's published a new one so I was thrilled to pick up "Highland Rogue", her latest and (I hope) the start of a new series.

Maggie is finally going to live her dream. She's been accepted as a worker bee on an archaeological dig IN SCOTLAND! When the dig leader offers to show her an ogham, she accompanies him to an ancient cairn where she actually trips over what turns out to be a stunning find...a huge carving in the stone floor of a tri-spiral or triskele. That night, unable to sleep, she visits the cairn alone, walks the triskele, and repeats the words on the ogham. The next thing she knows, she's apparently traveled back in time...to 1711!

Quinn, also show more known as the bandit Piper who robs the rich to help his downtrodden countrymen, is fleeing a successful robbery with his blood brother when a woman appears from nowhere and causes his friend to be shot and captured. He decides to use her guilt to help him free his friend. Once his friend is free, she can go her own way...and good riddance...really...ummm, maybe?

This is a fun, laughter-filled read that will have you cheering for these two as they bicker and battle their way into a warm, then passionate, relationship. If you like braw Highlanders in kilts and laughter...pick up this latest by Ms Mallory. I'm glad I did! show less
