Ellie Denton’s luck is gone.  Nearing the end of her rope, she leaves the home she once knew and the fact that it isn’t her choice to do so hurts her heart.  Her mother’s evil and disgusting ex-husband has seemingly stolen Ellie’s home right out from under her.  She also has to contend with a new birthmark that has suddenly shown up on her body and the added fact that she can understand animals.  Ellie has no idea what turn her life is going to take or why.  Finding herself in medieval Scotland might be her first clue that all is not what it seems – seeing Caden MacAlister might be her second.  The actuality that she is part Fae is the third.  Ellie’s life will never be the same whether in historical Scotland or in modern day Texas but if she had a highlander of her very own, things just might be magical.

More than once I was pulled in and totally focused on Ellie’s predicament especially since unknown forces are conspiring against this likeable female character.  Fully not expecting to have a wish granted, Ellie finds herself in the past after making an innocent wish while alone and sad.  Part Faerie, Ellie has to contend with Caden MacAlister, a man who adamantly refuses to believe what is right in front of his face.  He refuses to even consider the fact that Ellie just might be his one true love.  He is handsome, virile, and loyal to the bone.  His loyalty to wanting his brothers’ happiness above his own is what drew me to this enigmatic character in the first place.  While he falls in love with Ellie, he selflessly tries to steer her towards his other male family members which is quite fun to watch because the Fae that is in Ellie’s blood is having none of it.  In spite of it all, Caden and Ellie find out that love does work in mysterious and magical ways.

Romance and magic combine to entice the reader.  A HIGHLANDER OF HER OWN by Melissa Mayhue is a great fourth book of her Daughters of the Glen series.
