An Unexpected Highlander
A HEART OF GOLD New Zealand 1872 – the gold rush brings men of all sorts seeking their fortune. Some are desperate and dangerous, some are shaking off their pasts, and some are looking to make a better life in a new land. Fresh from Scotland, Angus McTavish arrives at the Attwater family's doorstep bringing hope and a dark past that might ruin the future of the woman who has captured his heart, Eliza Attwater. Recently arrived from Australia, twenty-one year old Eliza Attwater, must find the will to continue building up their homestead after her father dies. While her mother and brother struggle to share her dream, they are floundering. On the cusp of making an impossible decision – stay or return to Australia – two men twist Eliza’s heart. Her neighbor, Charles Simpson, an affluent and powerful man, proposes more than just marriage, while the Highlander, Angus McTavish, holds out the promise of a future filled with hope and a love richer than any vein of gold.

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.
