I immediately fell in love with the characters in An Unexpected Highlander (all except for Charles that is...) The story took me on a ride that was totally enjoyable of early settlement in NZ. Jenny painted a very vivid picture of the time and the surroundings. Not usually one for romance stories there was a perfect mix of that as well as drama and suspense. All in all a very good story from a new author on the scene and look forward to her next story.

Let me first say that I'm not the greatest at writing reviews. I'll be perfectly honest, I truly enjoyed this book. I felt that the characters were well developed and the flow of the story was perfect. There are just enough twists and turns that kept me from wanting to put the book down. I had to find out what happened next and/or find out if my hunch was right or not. I really would love to see at least one more book with these characters.
