A rescue through time...
Have you ever been tempted to sit patiently on a Scottish hillside to see what--or whom--the mist might bring? With violin in hand, Samantha MacKord sets out to do just that. But when a Highlander appears, she realizes it might be her music, and not the mist, that lured him to her. Unfortunately, he's not the only one who's been listening...


Hamish Farquharson is ready for a holiday and a rich woman to spend it with, but the witch isn't thinking about his needs. Instead, she sends him on a complicated rescue mission to save three abandoned children. And in a cruel twist, he's given the perfect woman to protect, and the one enemy who might destroy them all.
*HAMISH is #28 in the series. Most of these romances can be read in any order, but first, read the short set up, THE GATHERING, to avoid confusion. Don't forget to come back and review them both and follow The Ghosts of Culloden Moor on Facebook.

This was one of the most confusing stories that I have ever read. What makes matters worse, is that it is not even compelling. I have attempted to read through until something makes sense, but after nine chapters, I still have little clue about what the story is suppose to represent.

I usually enjoy a good tale about ghosts, but getting to know the ghosts in this book didn't draw my interest. Suffice it to say, I didn't like it and have decided that I've reached a point where it doesn't matter what it is about anymore.

I'm off to read something more interesting, at least in my eyes. Hope those that toughed it out, enjoyed it.

This is another good story in the Ghosts of Culloden Moor Series. In this one the times switch from when King George still reigned and modern times in America with people from both centuries interacting to make a good read. It did take a while for me to get into the book but I am glad that I made it through as it is well worth reading!

Time traveling ghosties and a reincarnation of a violin player? No, not his sister at all. In 2015, Sam - antha has inherited her grandfather's cottage and plans to live there and make a living by renting out the other cottage on her mountain. Will Redcoats from the 1700's stand in her way? Can Hamish save the three children as well?

Found justice after all

He would never complain about anything he thought was frivolous ever again. Instead he would enjoy what ever comes his way an help doing what must be done. As ever a great storyline. Once you start one of these books you can't put it down till you reach the end. Looking forward to next book in this storyline.

I wasn’t sure whether I was going to enjoy this book or not. I’m not a favorite of ghost stories although there are a few (very few) that I do enjoy. Surprise! I enjoyed it very much. Samantha has inherited two cottages in Scotland. She’s my strong woman but what she goes through makes her think she’s in a coma. A wonderful clean and sweet romance with a touch of suspense.

This is one of the most unusual books I've ever read. It is entertaining and unique with likable characters and a believable setting. In fact the only thing that is difficult at all is deciding on the appropriate genre. I'll go with fantasy for the time being and recommend it as a fun read for anyone from about age ten to adult!

A good weekend or holiday read

This is a good light hearted read, I have enjoyed reading several books from this series. While the hero's are from a very dark period of Scottish history the authors blend the facts into a modern tale. I love the idea of a violin concert echoing across the mountains. Did check if the music had been written before 1745 :)

Loved Hamish & Sam

This might have just became my favorite in the series so far. It was intriguing and funny. I laughed and cried. Excellent writing and wonderful unfolding of so many stories into one.

I generally love long, detailed books but this was a very nice change of pace. I do not reveal spoilers so I will just say that if you like a quick paced story involving love, time travel and a cute story to bring it all together then you will really like this!

Some of the books I have read before this one was on KU, which I don't have anymore. I loved what books I have read. This one I really liked. The children from the past to the future was really a plus. Loved Hamish and meeting his match.

True love

Hamish's story is so touching. I wanted to savor it and enjoy it as it unfolded. Wanting someone to love creates a power that can transcend time and place- Hamish and the fiddler is a great story.

One of my favorites

This book is full of ghosties and I absolutely loved it. Even though this is a series of short paranormal romances I really enjoy the pieces of Scottish history that filter through.

This is a do not miss series

Another home run story that could stand alone but, is far richer for being part of an amazing series. If you don’t know the history of Culloden Moore, this is a gentle introduction.

Great

This one is a true romance if ever there was one, also a few tears ta boot. But there are more questions than I can put into words just now so enjoy the story for what it says to you; home, family, love. I know I will.

Great story

As with all the ghosts of culloden, each hero is presented to lure the reader into the ghost story. As with the others I've read, I have happily followed.

The first I've read of the series, which can stand alone. You can't go wrong with an L L Muir story. A bit of humor, a bit of sadness and a very unexpected twist in the end!

A very interesting twist of the past and the present. The author has us not really know who is a ghost and who isn't and it's intriguing. Very lovely story.
