Answer 2

I love to read highlander romances too!!! Here are some great books to read:

JULIE GARWOOD---The Bride, The Wedding, The Secret, Ransom, Saving Grace

KAREN MARIE MONING---Immortal Highlander, To Tame a Highland Warrior, Spell of the Highlander, Highlander's Touch, Dark Highlander, Kiss of the Highlander, Beyond the Highland Mist

DIANA GABALDON--- Outlander series

HANNAH HOWELL---most of her books

JUDE DEVERAUX---Velvet series

Answer 3

I haven't read Outlander, but I've read reviews about these books (it's a series) and they've been excellent.

Looks like an author named Hannah Howell writes with this backdrop. Nora Roberts has a series about The MacGregors, and I think they're supposed to be pretty good, too.

If you want to, peruse the link below. It's over 1,000 titles on Amazon: searched for Highlands and then Romance. If you look for Historical, that gets it down to over 600.

Answer 4

I found Highlander in Her Bed by Allie Mackay to be a fun romantic read! It's basically about a woman who goes to Scotland (she's Scottish, btw) and finds this old antique bed and falls in love with it. She then inherits a castle and buys the bed. The bed turns out to be haunted by a "hottie scottie," or so she calls him. It was so much fun to read!

Answer 5

I can quickly come up with two authors whose works you might like, Diana Gabaldon and Dorotny Dunnett.

American author Diana Gabaldon has written a series of novels centered around Claire Beauchamp, an English nurse separated from her aloof but scholarly husband during World War II. At the end of the War while on a second honeymoon in Inverness, she is accidentally transported back in time to the months immediately following the Jacobite Rebellion. Necessity dictates that she marry a surviving supporter of Bonnie Prince Charles whom the English Crown has neither hanged nor transported after the Battle of Cullodeen.

After sharing with him numerous adventures in 1746-47 Scotland and France, she comes back to the twentieth-century to bear his daughter after she believes that an English officier (who looks like husband #1) has killed him.

Fast forward to approximately 20 years later: upon discovering that her Highlander has survived and after her 20th-century husband has died, she goes back in time again to be with the 18th-century hunk, now a printer in Edinburgh. Their daughter, discovering the truth about her mother's mysterious disappearance in 1946 and sensing the danger to both her biological parents, travels back in time as well to Colonial North America to rescue them. Her Scottish boyfriend (circa 1969) follows to rescue her. At the end of the third novel, after all the characters have rescued all the other characters, they are all living happily ever after at Cape Fear, North Carolina, on the eve of the American Revolution.

Confused? Add to all this a Feminist slant, although Gabaldon would certainly have her readers believing that real men wear kilts. At any rate, some of the books in the series made the New York Times best seller list:

The Outlander
Voyager
Drums of Autumn
The Fiery Cross
A Breath of Snow and Ashes

I must admit I've only read the first three novels. I presume that further novels take the characters through the American War for Independence.

Dorothy Dunnett, herself a Scot, has written a series of historical novels, the Lymond Chronicles, centered around a fictional Scottish adventurer, Frances Crawford of Lymond, during the 16th century. I'm currently bogged down in the middle of the second novel,* Queen's Play, set in the French Court during the early childhood of Mary Queen of Scots. This has occasioned a detour, reading a biography of Mary's mother-in-law, Catherine de Medici, but I hope to get back to Queen's Play soon.

Dorothy Dunnett, whom some critics feel is one of the greatest contemporary serial novelists of historical fiction, has written other series as well, but her Lymond Chronicles are as follows:
The Game of Kings
Queen's Play
The Disorderly Knights
Pawn in Frankincense
The Ringed Castle
Checkmate

Dunnett enjoys a better reputation as a novelist, but Gabaldon is obviously the faster (and less believable) read.

*The local Barnes and Noble didn't have the first novel in the series.

Answer 6

Crystal Dreams by Astrid Cooper, available at Zumaya Publications or Fictionwise.

Answer 7

Try author Jossie Litton. This is the order of the books in this historical trilogy:

Dream of Me
Believe in Me
Come Back to Me

Look for the summary of the books in amazon.com.

Answer 8

Check out "The Mirror & The magic" by Coral Smith Saxe or "The Witch and the Warrior" by Karyn Monk.

Answer 9

Definitely "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. It's a series of books. Great romance, great action and filled with surprises.

Answer 10

"Kidnapped" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Best classic by far.The other thing you can do is type in Scottish Highlands, and take it from there. Good Luck. Och Aye!
