After ten long years of education and residency, Dr. Emmy MacKenzie feels the time is long overdue for a vacation. A little “me” time. A little alone time. But when traveling the British Isles, a twist of fate at the gates of the ancient castle of Duart hurls Emmy more a hundred years into the past and into the arms of a magnificent highlander who thinks she is his long-lost wife, Heather MacLean!The ten years since his new bride abandoned him on his wedding day had brought Connor MacLean, earl Strathclyde, nothing but misery and bitterness but that is nothing compared to the anger he feels when she shows up at his front gates on the 10th anniversary of that day. Determined to punish her for the humiliations she dealt him, he is shocked when his wife claims mistaken identity and insists that she is not his wife at all! Endeavoring to cling to his anger, Connor finds he cannot deny the new attraction he feels for his mysterious wife and soon he is wanting nothing more than to take her in his arms and make her his.
With no choice but to play the part of the long lost Heather MacLean, Emmy cannot help but wonder how any woman could ever leave Connor MacLean, a man unlike any she had ever known. A man who thrills and challenges her. A man to love forever.

But Emmy’s isn’t the only secret lurking in Duart Castle. Painful secrets will be revealed. Not only hers but that of another. When the truth of Heather MacLean’s disappearance comes to light more than Connor’s life might be destroyed. Choices will have to be made. Forgiveness begged.

DNF @60%I have pushed and pushed through to this point but I am so bored. I have struggled with the protagonist, Emmy throughout who doesnt seem to feel the need to change her language, attitude etc to fit in even a modicum with the 1800s. It was worth a try but unsuccessful. Good narration.When a 21st century educated OB-GYN suddenly finds herself in the restrictions of 18th century barbaric Scotland, she cannot imagine the how/why. Nor can she explain why everyone insists she is the laird's long lost wife who fled and abandoned him on her wedding night ten years ago. She cannot imagine why these prudish women finds her posture and speech appalling, and just saying breast is simple unheard of. So what did the good doctor do by their outrage she sang breast breast breast...
I loved this book!Emmie is visiting the Uk on a ten day vacation after finishing all her requirements for becoming a doctor. On her last day on vacation she is to visit a medieval castle. Her tour guide/bus driver is her only company , as it is the last day the castle is open to the public . She makes the random statement about " simpler times" and how easy life was back then. She has a moment of vertigo , and is now in the 18oo's. She encounters Conner , the laird who believes Emmie is his long
I'm really enjoying the story but I am getting a bit frustrated that Emmy is not hiding some of her modern knowledge, but hides the fact that she is from the future as if her toting around an iPhone with earbuds isn't gonna rouse suspicion. 2hrs left......oh oh oh i have an idea of what Dori's secret is so now i'm just sitting through the last 1.5hrs to see if i'm right.back to the story....Yup I guessed it but I loved Emmy's "solution". I was hoping the reunion was a bit more detailed. It was
Although this manuscript suffered a bit from exclamation point-itis, I liked it enough to read it in one sitting. The characters were believable and loveable. The sex scenes could have used a little work. I also think I would have enjoyed it more without the epilogue. Still, I liked it enough to put this author's other works on my to-read list.
I picked this book up back in October as an ebook deal on Amazon. I am always willing to drop a buck or two for an interesting story from an author I haven't heard of. I very much enjoyed this book.The basics, Dr. Emmy MacKenzie travels to Scotland prior to taking her first job after finishing her residency. Upon her arrival to view a castle in Mull, she wishes to see what it would have looked like when it was rebuilt around the turn of the century, thinking those times were simpler. Her wish
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!I love Scottish historical romance and time travel romance. When I bought this book, I expected more of the usual delightful stories as I've enjoyed in the past. I was mistaken- but in a good way. This story is very different. It's uniqueness makes it an absolutely FANTASTIC read! The characters will steal your heart and the plot is so well done, you may stay up till 5:00 in the morning reading as I did just to stay with it to the wonderful end. Twists and turns and the future
