True to the Highlander by Barbara Longley

I totally loved this story. I was excited to get to read it from the very first. I was very glad to see that it lived up to the hype I built up in my head.  I loved how True was able to adapt to life in 1423. Her love of music was a nice touch as well. I thought the relationship between True and Malcolm was very well done, he was so torn at times but when he finally listened it just all works out- as any good story should. I really do love it when I find a story that tugs on the heartstrings.  I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a highland romance. Can't wait for the next one!

 Synopsis:
Treachery rules the Highlands of 1423. With their king captured by the English, Scottish nobles plot to ransom James behind the back of the brutal regent holding their land in his iron grip. But not every clan wishes to see King James back on his throne…
Sitting atop this powder keg of bloodthirsty rivalries, Malcolm of clan MacKintosh takes the mysterious, lone maiden he finds along his road as a bad omen…though an undeniably beautiful one. When he attempts to save her from a rogue within his own garrison, she deftly brings Malcolm to his knees. Who is this willful lass who has so quickly laid siege to his heart?
Alethia Goodsky has met all kinds working at the New York Renaissance Festival, but no one like the fortune-teller who tasks her with a cryptic life-saving mission and flings her into the fifteenth century. Now Alethia must rely on her wits to unravel the mystery in this violent land. Malcolm has sworn to protect her, but her gifts may soon make her his protector. With enemies closing in, Alethia must choose between finding a way home…and remaining true to her Highlander.
