I’m normally a huge fan of time travel romance but something about this one just left me wanting more! I wasn’t a fan of how the time travel was presented, there was pretty much zero explanation and I was quite disappointed. I did enjoy the story for the most part though, it was cute and fluffy and a quick read. It could have been heaps better though if it had just been fleshed out a bit more!

I won this book in her sweepstakes, having never won anything before. And I am so glad this is what I won !! I love this story. I loved all her stories, but this one takes the cake. And I mean the big fat king cake ( from New Orleans have to reference it to the most amazing cake on earth) anyway awesome book. It's a story that has always been in my soul/ mind and she expresses it magnificently. I love how it literally and figuratively fits plato's philosophy when two souls meet are then spilt apart and then meant to find each other once again.
I think that's what I love about her stories so much, the history, the story, the philosophy, and the way it makes you think. She hits you on several levels.
I have read her questions for a highlander series more time then I can remember most likely up in the 8 times right now. Especially Moria's and vin's. I think this will defiantly surpass that!!!
Can't wait til her next story!!!

I really liked this book. It was a little slow going at first while I was trying to figure it out, but I am so glad I stayed with it. Not what I was expecting, but better for it. You know it is a good book when you finish it, are into another book, but the previous book stays with you. Definite re-read and a "keeper shelf" book for me. ;)

Micah is visiting Scotland, and when she gets into a car accident, she is pulled back in time into the consciousness of a 18th century lady - Hero. She meets the man she has dreamed about her whole life - Ian.
Really good time travel romance. I don’t read a lot of them, but this one didn’t have me pulling my hair trying to make it make sense. And I didn’t see the ending coming.
If you want a standalone time travel romance set in Scotland, this may be the book for you.
Thanks Mika for the recommendation.

I really liked this time travel type romance. It was quite believable & I liked the oh no moment near the end & was quite surprised at the story twist. Well done again Angeline. :)

So, so good! I picked this title because I adore Kirsten Potter's narration, plus Highlands. ;) Fortin's storytelling is so good though and the way in which this story is conveyed...fantastic! It was certainly moving.
******
I have to admit to choosing this book for two reasons:
*Highlands = Highlanders
*Kirsten Potter
Yep. Luckily, in Fortin I've found an author whose storytelling I like. My Heart's in the Highlands is a little difficult to categorize - it's kinda time-travel, it's sort of historical romance, and it's a little contemporary. But it is 100% entertaining.
Do you believe that two souls so deeply in love in one lifetime could meet again in another? I do now.
I love how Fortin had the story unfold - a young woman finding herself in the body of another woman, in the past. I adored seeing Hero and Ian fall for one another. They found a love so deep and profound. I felt it acutely. I liked Fortin's use of reincarnation and the allusions to Mikah experiencing a past life. I liked the subterfuge and the suspense it created in Hero and Ian's life. And I liked how Fortin brought everything back to the present as well as the resolution.
Yes, this is all rather vague. But I think My Heart's in the Highlands is a book to be experienced. Particularly with the excellent narration of Kirsten Potter. Potter excels at expressing the emotion and pacing of a novel. She never fails to have me gasping, experiencing butterflies or goosebumps, or making me bawl my eyes out. Yes, I know the story must be impressive as well but I've not listened to a book yet narrated by Potter that I didn't love. I'm eager to continue this series - I don't believe the stories are linked but I know I'll enjoy the story as well as the narration.
*Highlands = Highlanders
*Potter = Excellent Narration

Still AMAZING !!
If love truly was a disease, he didn’t want a cure. He wanted the fever to rage.
I . LOVED. THIS. BOOK!
Soulmates. Never ending love. Timeless love. Eternal Love.
This is the type of love portrayed in this story. It made me laugh. It made me cry. We never know what happens after death, does our soul continue to seek its mate? Would we ever know?
The next time you have Déjà vu will you wonder?
Grab this book! It’s an amazing story!

This standalone book is an unusual time-travel-historical-romance set in Scotland. It transports you between two different places and two different times. It comprises three parts.
In the first part, we are introduced to the fair, slim and lovely Mikah Bauer in September 2012. She is five-foot-six and has green–azure-blue eyes. Mikah has vividly dreamed almost her entire life of Scotland and of one particular, handsome Highlander. So much so that “She wanted nothing more than to sleep forever and lose herself in her dream man.” She also repeatedly experiences feelings of déjà vu.
Mikah has never actually been to Scotland but is saving money for the trip of a lifetime when, as the Collection Curator at the Milwaukee Art Museum, is offered the opportunity to visit Glasgow on business. Following a successful meeting at the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art (GOMA), Mikah is hit by a car and blacks out. She is pulled back in time to June 1856, where she awakens to her dream Highlander, Lord Ian Alexander Conagham, and finds that she has been mildly injured by a horse-drawn carriage.
Mikah also learns that she has been thrust into the consciousness of Lady Hero Margaret Victoria Ashburn Conagham, Marchioness of Ayr, the Old Conagham of Ayr’s widow. The handsome, 30-year-old-old, six-foot-one or two, muscular and athletically-built Ian is the new Marquess of Ayr, Laird of the Clan Conagham. He has a deep, aristocratic burr that holds authority. His skin is swarthy, and his angular face with smoothly-planed cheeks and strong jaw and chin hold a shadow of a beard. Thick brows arch low over deep chocolate-brown and warm, mesmerising eyes. He has crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes and laughter-lines around his mouth, full lips, and dark hair with sprinkles of grey.
Mikah is taken to Castle Dun Cuilean, where she feels as if she’s come home. Her thoughts are jumbled and she can’t work out whether she’s comatose and dreaming, dead and experiencing life transference, on the road to Nirvana or experiencing a past life. She has the memories and emotions attached to both Hero and Mikah. The conflicting memories bring on brain fog but if she relaxes and lets Hero have the lead, everything becomes much simpler.
This second part of the book takes up the majority of the story and we don’t encounter Mikah again until the third and last part (from Chapter 8 to Chapter 36). This middle part of the book brought life to the characters. Hero’s and Ian’s love story was a fairy tale full of passion. The connection between them was both emotionally and sensually romantic. The story has envy and jealousy, action, mystery and intrigue, and even comedy, mainly in the persona of Hero’s father, Harold Arthur Philip Ashburn (or more affectionately “Harry”), the 8th Duke of Beaumont. The duke is tall and thick, burly-chested, about 60 years old, with a deeply-lined face and deep, booming voice, and suffers from dementia. He, in turn, has our hero and heroine suffering from sexual frustration with his ill-timed interruptions.
The conclusion of the second part proves how cruel fate can be. It was heart-breaking and had me in disbelief. “He had embraced a destiny only for it to be torn away in a heartbeat.”
In the third part of the book, we discover that Mikah had been dead for all of sixty-eight seconds, during which time she had a lifetime of experiences as Hero. She feels empty and broken without Ian.
Overall, the story was somewhat predictable but that is only to be expected as there are only so many formats. What does make this story different, however, is that the hero and heroine live two separate lives as two separate people (Ian & Hero/Jace & Mikah). I loved the idea of how their souls were seeking each other throughout time.
The author’s attention to detail, from the intricate descriptions of the castle (the ramparts, décor and architecture) and fashion, to the emotions of the characters, give colour and has me in awe at Fortin’s abilities.
I liked the similarities between the two different present-day and past-life heroes and heroines, e.g. the heroes’ melodic Scottish brogue, their peerage (“Jace” Jason Micallef is Earl Ballantrae), military backgrounds (Jace was a captain in the Queen’s Army Air Corps), their age (Jace was 33), personality (Jace was responsible, patriotic and aristocratic), appearance, that both were lairds, and the heroines’ body language, appearance and passion for art.
The narration by Kirsten Potter is excellent. Her male and female characters were clearly distinguishable. Her tone and pace were perfect.
The short epitaph: “A wish set in stone that their souls might meet again.” was not only beautiful but also goes to prove how deep Duke Beaumont’s love must have been for his wife and daughter, and his immense respect for Ian.
My favourite quotes:
- “It was a powerful love, a meeting of souls that had always been. It could conquer anything …”
- “If love truly was a disease, he didn’t want a cure. He wanted the fever to rage. … The possibility of more was still there.”
- “‘I will tell them that I fell in love with their bonny daughter the moment I first laid eyes on her. That she holds my heart undeniably and I would conquer time itself to keep her.’”

First, the good...
I found this book very creative and absolutely loved the dialog of Ian and Hero. The characters were really something to love, admire and respect. I found nothing wrong with either one of them. They were both strong characters who had their wits about them, not prone to so much of the exaggerated hissy fits and misunderstandings so overdone in today's romance books.
She also writes incredibly well and very VERY romantically! Such sensuality (not sexuality), playfulness, humor and brilliance.
I first started this book saying "I'm only going to read two pages" because I was already reading another book. But I could not put this one down once I started, and was up till 5:00 am reading. It was such a joy and relief that I found an actual ROMANCE book, not one filled with soft porn you find so often nowadays.
Now-the bad. The story took a turn I did not like, nor expect. I didn't love the rest (around the 3/4 mark) of the book like I'd loved the beginning and middle. I also felt she took more of a new age and politically correct route the rest of the way, which was jarring to me, and off putting. I would have given this book five stars if not for all the reasons I've listed above.
That being said, I will definitely be giving her other books a try.

Sooooooo cute!
I’ve read a few of the author’s books recently, and all are fun and good reads. But this one felt different—in a good way!
I’m not typically a historical romance reader, so the fact that I was able to breeze through this one says a lot. I don’t want to give anything away, but I can tell you that I love all of the characters. A highlight, though, is the duke. I loved his attitude, his moments of humor, and even those that broke up the romantic parts for Ian and Hero.
Since this is a time travel novel, I assumed it’d be the same idea as any other. But it has a different twist on the classic tale. One I wasn’t sure about. One I had no idea of. But once I got there—I loved it!
My one complaint is that it did end a bit abruptly. I’d have liked more of Mikah and Jace.

August 2, 2021Didn't make it too far into this one unfortunately. I love time travel romance but was not gelling with this story. The dual reality of the heroine remembering both her modern and historic self was weird. I think a lot of the fun of time travel romance is the time traveling MC trying to figure out their new reality and fumble their way through, so having Micah/Hero seamlessly slip into her new life in the past took a lot of the fun out of it. Further, her interactions with Ian were dull and devoid of chemistry. I fear that I'm cutting myself short, that this might really rev up and become interesting further along, but there's obviously no guarantee and I'm just going to go ahead and cut my losses. No rating.
March 3, 2018
Excellent story! I love the idea of time travel but reincarnation is even better! Ian and Hero live and love in the past but their future selves of Micah and Jace are living the same lives in the past. Go figure! Yes, you have a mystery and you have action but their love and the humor of Harry is priceless! Such an interesting character is Harry,a duke, who is Hero's father. His part in the story is humorous and priceless! I highly recommend this book and you will enjoy it! Have some Kleenex ready because it is a bit of a tear jerker!
February 2, 2020
I just could not get into this book and stopped listening. One part that was really hard for me is the fact that the heroin is from Wisconsin, yet has a British accent. I get that she assumes the identity of this other woman when she travels back in time, but the other woman was raised in Scotland. So she'd have a Scottish accent. Perhaps I'll pickup the book and re-review it. Maybe it'll be better.
April 14, 2024
This is, by far, way up there on my list of favorites. I loved both of them! They're both intelligent, both have a wonderful sense of humor, and they're surrounded by surprising and wonderful others. I just wanted to hug Hero's father! Ms. Fortin has outdone herself with this one. My one and only complaint is the very ending...but that could be another wonderful book!
January 29, 2018
The ending of this book punched me right in the gut and left me reeling. While I was able to guess the culprit threatening Ian and Hero early on, the twist at the end of part I did not see coming. I don't generally expect romance novels to have me in tears, but this one did!
August 9, 2017
Confusing at first, as soon as I stopped trying to figure it out and just went with it, I enjoyed it much better.
September 17, 2017
Time for 2 loves.
I liked the different kind of story. To find each other as different people. I recommend this book to anyone likes something unusual.

Originally posted on lampshadereader.com: New Book Boyfriend Alert! – Audiobook Review: My Heart’s in the Highlands by Angeline Fortin.
This is a review of the audiobook.
My heart is definitely in this Highland story.
The narration was superb. The distinction between female and male characters were there and I liked that they didn’t all sound the same. Kirsten Potter’s husky voice was perfect for the tone of the story. Her Scottish accent was well done even though there were some parts where it slipped. Her voice for Mikah/Hero was well developed. Mikah had the American accent and then Hero had the soft English accent. The emotions were well felt and shone through with the narration.
One has to be patient with this story. It was a little slow going at first, but I found myself so invested in the characters that when the action did occur it had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I got a few odd looks from husband while listening to this with my earphones because apparently I exclaimed in surprise a few times.
Mikah’s/Hero’s interaction with Ian was really sweet and at times funny. I loved the false starts to their love making. I could actually feel the sexual frustration the characters were going through. The interruptions were funny, it was like two teens being caught making out. Cute.
It was a different take on a time travel. Mikah found herself in Hero’s body and meets the man of her dreams, literally. Hero and Ian’s love story is bittersweet and heart wrenching. If you don’t mind being put through highs and lows, it is definitely worth the emotional roller coaster.
There is suspense and a sense of danger which takes an ordinary love story and makes it thrilling.
This is the first book I’ve read (or should I say listened to?) from this author. I love the writing style. The dialogue was well written and every character, whether he/she was good or rotten, was developed.
Book Boyfriend alert!
Ian is definitely book boyfriend material and made the keeper shelf for me. A big teddy bear of a hero that can melt the earphones, speaker, Kindle or whatever format you have. Get the pleasure of his sexiness and sweetness through every chapter. He'll fight for his heroine and will fight to get her with everything he has come hell or high water.
This is a review of the audiobook.
My heart is definitely in this Highland story.
The narration was superb. The distinction between female and male characters were there and I liked that they didn’t all sound the same. Kirsten Potter’s husky voice was perfect for the tone of the story. Her Scottish accent was well done even though there were some parts where it slipped. Her voice for Mikah/Hero was well developed. Mikah had the American accent and then Hero had the soft English accent. The emotions were well felt and shone through with the narration.
One has to be patient with this story. It was a little slow going at first, but I found myself so invested in the characters that when the action did occur it had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I got a few odd looks from husband while listening to this with my earphones because apparently I exclaimed in surprise a few times.
Mikah’s/Hero’s interaction with Ian was really sweet and at times funny. I loved the false starts to their love making. I could actually feel the sexual frustration the characters were going through. The interruptions were funny, it was like two teens being caught making out. Cute.
It was a different take on a time travel. Mikah found herself in Hero’s body and meets the man of her dreams, literally. Hero and Ian’s love story is bittersweet and heart wrenching. If you don’t mind being put through highs and lows, it is definitely worth the emotional roller coaster.
There is suspense and a sense of danger which takes an ordinary love story and makes it thrilling.
This is the first book I’ve read (or should I say listened to?) from this author. I love the writing style. The dialogue was well written and every character, whether he/she was good or rotten, was developed.
