Joanna's Highlander by Maeve Greyson

After being forced out of her job as a successful pharmaceutical sales rep by a lying and abusive ex, Joanna is trying to start a new career with a tour company.  Joanna and her foster sister Lucia need an exclusive contract with a North Carolina theme park, Highland Life and Legends.  Since they got a temporary contract, Joanna has put Grant MacDara in the "look but don't touch" category.  Until she had the matchmaking tour group of grannies.

Grant MacDara is a medieval highlander thrust into the twenty-first century.  The woman he loved and his unborn child were taken from him.  He was haunted by his lost love until he met Joanna.  She is the most irresistible woman Grant has met and when he decides that he is ready to risk his heart again, he doesn't want to let her go.

When Joanna gets an offer she can't refuse from her old company will she risk Grant's love and break his heart?

Once I got to the first chapter, I was hooked.  I loved the time-travel plot with the hot highlander.  The characters were great.  I loved Grant.  I was really enjoying the book until Chapter 20 when Joanna's ex's wife visits with a job offer and a way too crazy story about what happened to the ex.  I felt like I had to push through until the book was redeemed with the last chapter and epilogue. 

I was also thrown by the layout of the book before chapter 1.  There was a preface which explains the foundation for the series.  Next was the prologue which explains the MacDara's family history.  Then, was an author's note.  I found the placement of the author's note threw the rhythm of the book.  I will admit that I almost DNF'd this book based on the beginning of the book until I started to read chapter 1.  Again, once I hit Chapter 1, I was hooked.

This was a book that I ended up loving.  I can't wait for the next book in the series!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!
