Scottish Starter Box Set: Angel of Skye / The Dreamer / Borrowed Dreams
Scottish Starter Box Set by May McGoldrick
Three Full Length Series-Starter Novels. Opening the door to danger and desire!
This box set contains the opening novels of three exciting, award-winning historical romance trilogies set in the Scottish Highlands.
Book One: ANGEL OF SKYE (Macpherson Brothers Trilogy)
Book Two: DREAMER (Highland Treasure Trilogy)
Book Three: BORROWED DREAMS (Scottish Dream Trilogy)
Book One: ANGEL OF SKYE (Macpherson Brothers Trilogy)
Winner of the Holt Medallion for Best Historical Romance
About…the Macpherson Brothers Trilogy
From the wild shores of the Scotland's Western Isles to the bloody fields of France to the glittering courts of Europe, three brothers fight for Scottish independence…and for the three women who have captured their hearts.
ANGEL OF SKYE
Fiona does not remember the years before she came to the priory on the Isle of Skye. Only the gentle Prioress knows the truth about the spirited, red-haired lass's true birth. So it is in a simple cowl and peasant's dress that she emerges from the island's mists and faces the famed warrior chief of the Highlands.
Alec Macpherson has served King James with his sword. Now he would give his very soul to protect this beautiful girl from the intrigue that swirls around her. But Fiona wants his heart as well, and willingly he gives it...even as the king's opponents are pushing her toward a deadly trap. For hidden in Fiona's memory is the face of her mother's killer and a secret that could topple the throne. And it will take Alec's Highland strengths pitted against a foe's cruel ambitions to prove, through blood and battle, which will reign—an army's might or the powerful passions of two lovers...
Book Two: DREAMER (Highland Treasure Trilogy)
National Readers’ Choice Award Finalist for Best Historical
Winner of the Laurel Wreath Award for Best Historical
About…the Highland Treasure Trilogy
Three sisters each hold a clue to their family's treasure, and the English monarch will topple a kingdom to possess it. Fleeing to the deepest corners of Scotland, the Percy sisters find the will and the courage to fight for what is theirs…and in so doing unlock the hearts of three Highland warriors.
DREAMER
When her late father was branded a traitor to the king, Catherine Percy found sanctuary in Scotland. But a case of mistaken identity put her in a compromising position with the Highland earl sworn to protect her. Marriage to him saved her reputation, but nothing could save her from the stormy passion that bent her innocent body to his will…and shattered his last defense.
Book Three: BORROWED DREAMS (Scottish Dream Trilogy)
Winner of Romantic Times Award for Best British-Set Historical Romance
Winner of Holt Medallion for Best Historical Romance
About…the Scottish Dream Trilogy
The three Pennington brothers, torn apart and nearly destroyed by family tragedy, each harbor a devastating secret. As they strive to restore their family and their fortune on both sides of the Atlantic, they find that three rebellious women hold the key to all they desire.
BORROWED DREAMS
Driven to undo the evil wrought by her dead husband, Millicent Wentworth must find a way to save her estate and free the innocent people he enslaves. Her only hope is a marriage—in name only—to a notorious Scottish Borderlord, the widowed Earl of Aytoun.
Devastated by the tragic accident that killed his wife and left him gravely wounded, Lyon Pennington, fourth Earl of Aytoun, is tormented by the accusations that blame him for the catastrophe.

Merely So-So
Reasonably well edited, so it wasn't an excruciating read. There was nothing particularly special or compelling about any of the three stories. They were all utterly predictable. The author's excessive, incessant use of the royal plural in the Author's Note at the end of the book set my teeth on edge. Note to author... It's perfectly acceptable to use the words ME & I...

This is not a clean read. Sadly I purchased this trilogy for too much money and could not even finish the first book. Waste. The story begins with action and intrigue but becomes more about lust than history.

These 3 books were very, very, good. There is lots of action and intrigue. There is passion. All the story lines were good and flowed nicely. Had a hard time putting them down. Recommend.

Good Reads!
This box set is actually my first time reading anything from this author. I found all three book, (which each one is the first of three different series she has to offer) very interesting reads. They can be stand-alone stories too. Each story has devastating circumstances that make for a tragic read including the HEA love story. Each one include a great hero and heroine. The heroines are all strong individuals and you find no dwelling on "what ifs" situations or prolong stubborn heros. The sex scenes are good and they make you feel the connection between the two in all three stories.

Solid 4
Each of the books which represent one part in each of three trilogies, are well written, developed and delivered to entice us to the other two books. What is difficult is you want to stop and read the rest of trilogy after reading the first book. I thoroughly enjoyed all three books. It is the second time I have read these books. I think most adult readers would enjoy them.

Perfect introduction to three satisfying trilogies!
I had to stop after the first book and read the rest of that trilogy. I await the pleasure of completing the last two sets of stories. Well written, entertaining and hard to put down.

Delightful!
Thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy. Just the right blend of tied up loose ends with a teasing taste of characters you want to know more about.
