Single-and-pregnant museum worker Melanie voices an idle wish while examining a Scottish artifact, that a Highland warrior would sweep her off her feet and help her forget her cheating ex. The last thing she expects is for her wish to be granted. Magically transported to the middle of a clan skirmish in the sixteenth-century Highlands, she comes face to face with her kilted fantasy man.Tall, handsome, and heir to his uncle’s lairdship, Darcy Keith should be the most eligible bachelor in Ackergill. Instead, thanks to a prank played on him in his teenage years, he is known for being too large under his kilt to ever make a proper husband. “Big Darcy” runs his deceased father’s windmills and lives alone at his family manor, believing he will never marry.But a strangely dressed woman he rescues from a clan skirmish makes him long for more. When the woman’s claims of coming to Ackergill by magic reach the laird’s ears, she is accused of witchcraft. Darcy determines to protect her any way he can, even if it means binding her to him forever.Subjects include Highland Romance, Highlander Romance, Scottish Romance, Historical Romance, Fantasy Romance, Time Travel Romance, Time-Travel Romance

"<a href="http://laughinglistener.com/"><br/>The Laughing Listener</a><br/><b>July 2018</b><br/><b>Format:</b> Audiobook<br/><b>Narrator:</b> Marian Hussey<br/><b>Length:</b> 10 hours & 42 minutes<br/><br/><b>Story Rating:</b> 2 Stars<br/><b>Performance Rating:</b> 5 Stars<br/><b>Overall Rating:</b> 3 Stars<br/><br/>Oh my god, this book is HILARIOUS and I don’t completely mean that as a compliment. Anyone who goes into this comparing it to <i>[b:Outlander|10964|Outlander (Outlander, #1)|Diana Gabaldon|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1529065012s/10964.jpg|2489796]</i> will be grossly and hilariously disappointed. Like seriously guys, they’re not even in the same galaxy as one another. I was stumbling around Audible’s romance package one day when I saw this and was intrigued enough to give a go. Instead of trying to find the right words to describe it, I’ll let the story speak for itself. Within the first half hour ALONE here’s what happens:<br/><br/>~ Heroine Melanie finds a magic wooden box<br/>~ Gets hurtled through time.<br/>~ Lands in the middle of a crazy battle<br/>~ Almost gets raped<br/>~ Stabs a guy<br/>~ Saved by a Highlander who’s conveniently attractive, gallant, and available<br/>~ Accused of being an English spy<br/>~ Somehow no one cares about her southern accent, the fact she’s wearing a mini skirt, or that she’s pregnant out of wedlock<br/>~ Becomes betrothed<br/><br/><img src="https://media1.tenor.com/images/8d6fcf01abf0246f6e49957b5bdd318b/tenor.gif?itemid=4793800" width="" height="" alt="Say what?"><br/><br/>I’m not even kidding. Sometimes it was just too much and I couldn’t stop laughing. Some other stuff that happens in the book worth mentioning?<br/><br/>~ Everyone constantly screaming over a cursed magic box. <br/>~ An albino with magic blood<br/>~ Poisonous snake bites<br/>~ Cars falling from the sky<br/>~ The male love interest being named “Big Darcy” (Jane Austen is TOTALLY offended)<br/>~ Darcy talking about how he’s “too big to bed a woman.” *Dies of laughter*<br/>~ The Snow White witch randomly making an appearance<br/><br/><b>FINAL WORD</b><br/><br/>It was so hard to figure out what to rate this because it was terrible, but I was also completely entertained??? If anything, it was a great way to pass the time and the narrator was excellent.<br/>"
