Gail (4 KP) rated Second Chance with a Highlander in Books

Jun 4, 2018

(spoiler alert)
I love historical romance books. To read about a time different than today. Sarah Mitchell delivered that in this book. When you thought it was over she through you a twist you could never guess. I was afraid she would leave me hanging but she delivered and ending I would’ve never dreamed of and I loved it. A lot of people can guess what happens but not with this book. It’s unique and it keeps you in the moment. Great Job!
To get a second chance at anything is a blessing to get a second chance at life is true miracle. That is what Kate received. After going through life hoping to see her next birthday Kate can feel this is the end. She only finds comfort in her dreams where she is loved by a mysterious man.
I loved how the characters are written. Kate is strong minded and she doesn’t take crap and stands up for what she feels is right. Thrust back in time to lands unknown she is wounded and on deaths door again when her dream man is there to save her. She doesn’t bow down to his commands or agree to his every word. She is fierce.
Connor is Scottish and wears a kilt. That’s all that needs to be said. From jump he felt protective of Kate. He showed so much loyalty. He gave up things that other lairds wouldn’t. I could visualize him and his voice. You need a sip of Connor juice you wont regret it.

Fantastic book

This book is amazing!
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only. As soon as I read the book description, I knew it was a book I really wanted to read. The book goes above and beyond the expectations I had after reading the description. The way this book is written is fantastic, I found myself constantly thinking about the book even when I wasn’t reading it. I couldn’t wait to turn each page, it is a real page turner and kept my interest right to the very last page. The themes in this book are quite heavy and dark but I feel the author explored these themes in a very true to life way and in a respectful way. This book is very close to my heart. The author tells the story from various points of view and each point of view is vital to the main story. I have read many books and I don’t think I have ever read a book quite like this. Due to the dark themes, this book may not be for everyone, but I feel that I would recommend this to those whose life has been touched by mental health in one way or another. I would have liked the story to have continued further from where it ended but I feel the ending fits the story perfectly. Some books you remember for a little while after you’ve read them and other books stick with you forever. This book will be with me forever.
