When myth becomes reality, love becomes legend…Emily never meant to time travel—again. But one misfired spell, fueled by frustration and longing for a life that no longer feels whole, flings her straight into an alternate 18th-century Scotland where magic thrives, myths walk the land, and the country she thought she knew has become the ruling power of a very different world.

In this enchanted realm, Emily discovers more than magic—she discovers him.

Gryffe MacStrath, fierce Chieftain of Clan MacStrath and Grand Chieftain of the Defenders of the Veil, claims she is his fated mate. Bound by destiny, driven by duty, and drawn to a woman from a world he doesn't understand, Gryffe is everything Emily didn’t know she strength, loyalty, and a burning passion that defies time itself.

But in a world where fate rules and danger lurks behind beauty, Emily must fight to return to the life she knew—or embrace a love that could rewrite her future in a land ruled by legend.

A sweeping tale of destiny, desire, and magic—A Fine Scottish Spell will cast its spell on your heart.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Emily never meant to time travel again. But when your spells are misfired, you never know what can happen. Her life does not feel whole anymore so when she tries to cast a simple spell everything seems to go wrong all at once and she ends up in an alternate 18th-century Scotland where magic is a way of life, myths walk the land, and the country she thought she knew has become the ruling power of a very different, yet not so different world.

Gryffe MacStrath is the fierce Chieftain of Clan MacStrath and Grand Chieftain of the Defenders of the Veil. One look at Emily after she appears in front of his horse tells him all he needs to know. She is his fated mate. He may know nothing of her world, but Gryffe is everything she didn't know she needed.

In a world where fate rules and danger lurks behind beauty, Emily and Gryffe must fight the unknown for a love that will defy the bonds of time.

Wow, this book was incredible. Maeve Greyson has outdone herself. This book has all the feels. I devoured it like a starving wolf that hasn't eaten in years. This book is literary perfection. I was on the edge of my seat because I never really knew what was going to happen next and every time I thought I had it figured out, I was happy to find out that I was wrong. I have to say that Gryffe and Emily were perfect together. If you are a fan of time travel and fantasy then look no further this is the book for you. Ms. Greyson you have outdone yourself this time.

Awesome read!

A Fine Scottish Spell is the second book of this series. It has wonderfully detailed characters and an excellent storyline! I shed a few tears and laughed out loud. Unfortunately, I will have to wait for the next book but, it will be worth it, I’m sure. Maeve Greyson is extremely creative and a very talented author, please read her works for an exciting time-travel adventure/ romance!

Great read!

I loved the magic of it, though a little less English on the heroine part would have been better. I hate it when books dwell too long on such ridiculous emotions

I enjoyed this story more than book 1, but I feel this is not a standalone story. So much happens, especially in the telling of the fantasy world, I feel you'd be lost.

If you're not a fan of time travel and fantasy stories, this isn't for you. I loved this story and the imagination of the author.

When our h entered the Dream World, I was a little lost, but things became clearer afterwords. This story is filled with many twists and surprises; it was hard to put down.

Great main and secondary characters too to round out this unique story. No cheating, no cliffhanger, ended about 91% on my e-reader, and a few swear words. Lovemaking within marriage, bedroom door 1/2 opened.

I can't improve on the blurb, just giving you extra tidbits to decide whether to purchase. (ljb)

Excellent story writing. Loved all the realms that came together.

I've read a lot of books about magical romances in Ireland and Scotland. This is one of the best. It doesn't drag along. The fated mates join together across many realms to enjoy a beautiful relationship. The lead male is every woman's dream, kind, romantic and sexy! The bedroom scenes are hot! Can't put the book down! Definitely for adult reading.

Must read!!

I've just finished binge reading the first two books! I really had a hard time putting it down. It was quite the adventure.
The characters are very likable. They were funny and endearing. There's even a few surprises you don't see coming. I am eagerly waiting for the 3rd book to be released. In the meantime, I'll be looking at other books from this author.
