Award-winning author Angeline Fortin returns with a steamy, heart-warming new series where reader favorite Auld Donell is once again up to his old tricks changing an uncertain future by altering the past and challenging three young women to test the limitations of time and explore the possibilities of love.
She wanted a love for all time.
A life of love lost and heartbreak has cursed the women in Bronte Hughes’s family for generations. When she discovers a device that allows her to slip through time, Bronte decides the key to obtaining true love for herself lies in mending the tragedies of the past and restoring a legacy of love fate has robbed from her family…beginning with saving her great-great grandfather from setting sail on the ill-fated voyage of the Titanic.
He searched for a life with purpose.
Good friends and a loving family provided Tris MacKintosh with ample duty and obligation but none of the challenge and purpose he yearned for in life. When a mysterious young woman appears in a suspiciously timely fashion—not once, but twice—to save his closest friend from death, he’s presented with more intrigue than he’s experienced in years. Contributing to the war effort against Germany once seemed his best chance to live with purpose and make a mark…
However, with Bronte at his side, Tris soon realizes there is a greater opportunity awaiting him. A chance to be a part of a love to last forever, to change the future… and to save the world.

A Scot to Remember Something About a Highlander Book 1 edition by Angeline Fortin Romance eBooks Reviews
- This book read almost as if two people wrote it. It wasn't until I was a little more than halfway through that I stopped wondering if I should put it down and felt like the characters were finally starting to make sense. This surprised me, because I have read other books by this author and really enjoyed them. Her "Question" series especially, which stuck to one time period, was much more consistent stylistically.
In this latest book, at first I wanted to shake Bronte, the heroine. She was all over the map emotionally, but we didn't hear much internal commentary from her about WHY she felt the way she felt about Tris ... She was crazy about him, she wanted him, she was annoyed by him, she thought he was cold. Was it because of Jack? Because she was a die-are feminist? Because she had a poor sense of self?
I was also annoyed with how -- for all her knowledge of history, her aunt's diary, and clothing from the earlier era -- she used 2019 slang and curse words, acted surprised when she was in 1914 and learned a 15-mile drive would take hours, and was offended when men held the door for her or acted in some other way that was just what a gentleman of that era would do or say. Girlfriend! Why were you surprised that men were chauvinists in 1914? You should have expected that! Bronte just came across as kind of -- well, stupid-- every time she argued, "I can do this myself." For someone who worked in the theater, she seemed pretty clueless as to how to act in a time-appropriate way.
Finally, somewhere in the middle of the house party, when Bronte and Tris were (SPOILER ALERT) finally together, her behavior started to be a little more consistent. I think when the author was working with characters from an earlier time period she was more comfortable with the story. (And I loved the descriptions of the outfits!)
Another reason I thought about giving up on the book was that it was greatly in need of some editing. There were commas where there didn't need to be commas and lack of commas when commas were critical. A few dangling modifiers that made for unfortunate, humorous mental pictures. Wrong use of words (using "ostentatiously" when the word should've been "ostensibly.") But the most glaring error was when Bronte talked about love letters exchanged between Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Frost. That would have been hard, given that EBB died in 1861 and Frost was born in 1874. A few typos here and there are understandable but this went way beyond typos, and when errors keep popping up, I'm totally distracted and wonder if it's worth my time. A good editor would have spotted these many distracting issues.
I would have liked to understand more about Hazel and Henry Why was [bad guy] going after Henry in the first place? And what ended up happening to Henry? And will Phineas show up in the future? -- no hints there! And what's the story with Hannah -- a sweet and attractive character How did she and Hazel become friends in the first place, and what happened to her?
But bottom line, I liked the book -- such a clever idea -- and I ended up liking Bronte and Tris a lot. BUT -- even though I have been really critical, I was engaged enough with the characters, their relationship, the steamy buildup of their romance and wanting to know what would happen next -- that I would recommend this book, as well as previous novels by this author. This one just could have used a little smoothing out. I hope there are more books in this series to answer some of my questions. - I’ve read nearly all Angeline Fortin’s books and enjoyed them particularly the Laird series. This one was interesting but disjointed... No explanation was given as to why Henry was singled out. I’ll reread it as I usually do in hopes I missed the explanation but...
- A great time travel tale but, to me, kind of a new twist in that Bronte travels between times quite frequently which I am not used robin the genre. Trying g to keep all this from Tris is almost impossible but she does. Their journey is full of intrigue, suspense, adventure, mayhem and romance. Enjoy!
- What would life be like without this rascally Scot? This book of Ms. Fortin's stretches the imagination and brings the reader into a time period rarely addressed in writing. While I was initially disappointed about the lack of lairds and castles, I did get my castle in the middle of the book! And who could not possibly fall in love with Bronte and Tris. I mean, come on….they grasp your heart. Well worth the purchase and the read. I've added it to my "keep" collection.
- This is a fun and interesting story. I thought the characters were quite interesting and the story line is great. Would definitely recommend reading this book. Can't wait until the next book drops!!
- I looked forward to this book coming out and it didn't disappoint. Boy did the sparks fly between Tris and Bronte.
So happy to see Donell in another book. - Weaving a compelling story that Kees the reader engaged and guessing is an art. You will not be disappointed in Something About a Highlander.
- The first 5 chapters difficult to stay interested..lots of jumping around..but then it settled in and was great! Loved seeing Donell again too!
