Kaitlyn and the Highlander #14

The Guardian: A Year at Kilchurn Castle

Rate this book
Magnus had something he needed to talk about, but it always took him a moment to think it through before he could speak.

Then in the darkness, his voice low, he said, “I ken I hae made a mistake.”


And so begins their next adventure:

As Magnus tries to keep his family safe, to guard the vessels, to heal his heart.

And as Kaitlyn learns to know her own mind.

Their family and friends try to adapt to life in the 18th century.

Magnus, a mysterious hero with a desperate heart, and Kaitlyn, a plucky heroine with tremendous courage, share a very big love story that encompasses all time and a huge family. Read on for a lot more of the fun you expect in this next chapter — a year at Kilchurn castle.

This is the continuation of the Magnus Campbell saga who is a time traveler, Highlander, King from the future, and above all husband to Kaitlyn. These stories MUST be read in order starting with Kaitlyn and the Highlander. Yes, these stories are very far fetched. Yes, crazy things happen during each installment. The characters are all larger than life and heroes in their own right.

The “Family” of Kaitlyn and Magnus is all encompassing and includes many friends who have been through a lot together along with Magnus’ two children and his crazy plotting mother.

I enjoy these stories as a way to escape the typical romance genre and of course reading them thus far ensures I will be ready for the next installment coming December 2021 😉

After 14 books you wonder if Kaitlyn and Magnus will ever find their Happily Ever After. But this is not that book. Magnus and his whole crew decide to hide all the vessels and hide out. While some people would move to a different country this group decides to move to a different time.
Hiding out in the 18th century works for a while but something is wrong with Magnus instead of getting rested and stronger he is getting weaker. This book takes place in the past and in the future with very little time spent in the present. It's good to see everyone just living a regular life. Although they are on alert, they manage to live as normal a life as one can in the 18th century.
Of course, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is and in this case, even when it seems it's is time to celebrate you know it's not going to happen.

Another mind-blowing winner!

I absolutely love how Diana can keep track of past/future events and smoothly continue the story as if the books were all written at the same time! This book introduces new characters, like Sophie & Rebecca, who have us on the edge of wondering who they are and what is to come from them in the future.
I love how Katie continues to live by her mantra, the motherf@#":&* matriarch!!
I absolutely loved the book! It is a must read!

Finally a place to hide or maybe not!!

The family finally has a place to hide keeping a low profile, being together, then out of the blue storms come a new person comes to the Castle saying she is a distant cousin. James marries her, Kaitlyn received a message from Lady Mairead goes to her and leaves only to be in s dangerous place with the man who wants Magnus throne. It's a whirl wind event like no other, great story and very exciting. Recommend with a 5 Stars review

hiatus

This book began slow and went through everyday stuff but served as a good bridge for what was to come. There are loose end which will hopefully be addressed in future books. Quite enjoyable and action packed ending even though abrupt. My stomach sinks with Katie’s when she sees the letters and understands their meaning. Can’t wait for the next installment!

Love this series!

I don’t know if my words can do justice to this series. This book is another great book that adds to a wonderful series. No matter how long it takes for the next book I want it to go on and on! The characters feel like an extended family. It’s so hard to explain but if you want to understand just read it then you will know how I feel!!!

As usual this was another great story. Loved how the HEAs just kept going. Worried about Kaitlyn was in a terrible situation but came out in flying colors. Glad Magnus got well and James and Sophie are together. Can’t wait for the next book.

The Guardian Book 14

Hiding so Magnus can heal and keeping everyone safe Kaitlyn left. Magnus’ mother needed her help. Best of all Kaitlyn killed Sir Padraig then war ended. The Kingdom is fine and no more hiding.

Rocked it again!

I love these characters like they’re m’own family and your ability to do that is outstanding. Not only because of the storyline, but the ability to never fall short, repeatedly, in the growing number of books. I can’t wait for the next one!

Yeessss!

I'll be honest and say the last couple books felt a little repetitive and I almost didn't read this one. I'm so glad I did, because it was wonderful!
