“Maeve Greyson knows how to create swoon-worthy heroes and sweet sexual tension. Ramsay MacDara stole my heart!”—Vonnie Davis, author of Highlander’s Beloved seriesAn archaeologist with a zest for life finds herself stranded in small-town North Carolina—with a brooding Highland hunk who’s straight out of ancient Scotland. Ramsay MacDara wishes the goddesses had left his arse back in the tenth … left his arse back in the tenth century. That way he never would have met the gold digger who made a fool out of him. A loner at heart, Ramsay is riding his beloved horse through the woods near his family’s North Carolina theme park, Highland Life and Legends, when he hears tires squealing—followed by a thud—and rushes to the scene to help. That’s when he sets his eyes on a pair of long legs sticking out of the moon roof of a car. His interest piqued, the rest of her will soon arouse his greatest desires . . . and deepest fears.
Archaeologist Katie Jenson is on a six-month sabbatical from her job at Princeton University. Following the death of her beloved father—whose dying request was for Katie to live life to the fullest—she’s headed to a friend’s beach house in North Carolina. But a momentary distraction takes her off the road and on the journey of her life . . . with a sex god in a kilt at her side. Ramsay’s passion is the stuff of legend—and it just may be Katie’s greatest discovery.

Outlander fans must get Katie’s Highlander! It’s a book you’ll never forget!
Maeve Greyson knows how to create swoon-worthy heroes and sweet sexual tension. Ramsay MacDarus stole my heart!
Ms Greyson had me at ‘with a sex god in a kilt at her side.’ And Ramsay was indeed. Katie was a strong heroine and the best foil for Ramsay’s stoic stance. Great book. Highly recommend.
Loved it I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley.
So far I have enjoyed reading all of Maeve’s books.I can not wait to read more of her books. The characters are funny,serious and emotional you get pulled in and usually can not stop reading. So be prepared to read all day or all night. Happy reading!
I enjoyed the romance between Ramsay and Katie, whether it was current or 10th century. A really good read that travels back and makes you really think about the past, the future, what parts we all play. My feelings got involved and I could see it in my mind, well written.
I received an ARC thru Net Galley and am voluntarily giving my opinion.
Really love her books and need her to write faster!!!
I received Katie’s Highlander from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. This is the first time I have ever read Maeve Greyson and quite enjoyed the story. This is the 3rd book in her Highland Protector series but can be read as a standalone.
After losing her dad, Archaeologist Katie Jenson takes a 6 month sabbatical to regroup and ends up stranded in small town North Carolina. Ramsay MacDara, was taken out of his time in the 10th century and transported to the present by the goddesses to protect them. But, he really wishes they would have left him back in the 10th century. Struggling in North Carolina with the present and a loner at heart, Ramsay is riding his horse when he meets Katie and his interest is peeked. But when the goddesses transport both him and Katie to the past, their attraction gets full attention while they work together to get back to the present. But is that where they belong?
I enjoyed the independent side of Katie and Ramsey’s struggles with the present. Greyson does a wonderful job at showing the difference in 10th century and the present. I greatly enjoyed the fact she uses an Archaeologist to send back in time- someone who just might be able to understand the past and work with it to blend in. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by Greyson. #KatiesHighlander #NetGalley
For those who need page-turner romances! And HEA endings! Ok, sometimes I wasn’t happy with some of Katie’s attitudes, but it was OK. The story kept me dreaming for a highlander…

Eons ago…
Of all the Druid clans, the strongest was the goddesses of the MacDara bloodline. More devoted and trained by the warrior goddess. MacDara men and their sons mastered the four relic weapons sword, hammer, shield and spear. No better archers could be found but MacDara females.
Yet the MacDara clan were gifted with the highest honor. That is to guard and protect the blessed Heartstone. This is an ancient relic that contains a special unique energy that made every human’s life special, unique and worth living. To love, hope, evolve and live, without this gift civilization on earth would not be the same. Plus eventually the world would cease to exist. Yet as time went on the meaning of the stone and the lore was forgotten, lost in the circle of time and the mist. Though not forgotten by all existing by the Druid clans.
The MacDara descendents know exactly the cost. As in the tenth century they were brutally attacked and knows what it nearly cost their existence! Yet the three goddesses save Ramsay Danaan MacDara, his two older brothers, his parents, younger sister and bring them to North Carolina in the twenty-first century . The MacDara’s will protect the blessed stone at any cost. As they know they must thrive and never cease to exist! No matter what century the goddesses place them in to save and protect.
17 years later in the future.
North Carolina, present day 2018
I have been reading Ms Greyson for years and again another book I loved! **
On a personal note my husband has been working for Princeton University for over 25 years.
The MacDara Family in 900 a.d. broch in the highlands of Scotland were under attack and wouldn’t have survived. So the Goddesses sent them to the future to present day, North Carolina. This was not only to preserve their lives but so they could continue to protect the Heartstone as this was their legacy. Theses stories began when the four sons were ages twenty through fourteen. The first book, Sadie’s Highlander is 20 year old Alec’s story began 15 years after they were relocated in the future. The second story, Joanna’s Highlander, was Grants story, 16 years later. Now is is the third brother Ramsay Danaan’s turn 17 years later. As they are all aging naturally after their time-travel shift.
Brady North Carolina, present day 2019
Seventeen years since shifted to the future.
The hero of this story is Ramsay Danaan MacDara known as Ramsay. He thought by now like his older brothers Alec and Grant, he would be married by now. Unfortunately he came close, but the woman was only using him for his family’s wealth with no love in her heart. He now wishes the Goddesses had left him back in the tenth century with no broken heart! So he has trust issues now with the fairer sex, plus he has always been more comfortable with his four legged furry friends. Plus he being from another time it is difficult for Ramsay to see and detect a woman’s duplicity, treachery and
betrayal him and using him for her own selfish, deceptive, and disloyal desires. Now he just spends his time alone with his animals.
That is until one day he is taking his horse for an evening ride and hears a car accident. Of course the honorable highlander he is goes to help the lass. After all that has been imbedded in him since birth. So he goes and finds a bonny female arse sticking out of the mangled car. He then rescues his damsel in distress bringing her home. Although he keeps thinking this is a big mistake, but how could he turn his back and not leave the lass stranded in the dark woods!
Katie Jensen, the heroine of this story is an archeologist. She is taking a six month sabbatical leave from her job, in the garden state. This is at Ivy League, Princeton University, on Nassau Street in Princeton, New Jersey. Her father passed away a few weeks ago as she is still grieving. In addition her fathers last dying wish was for Katie to appreciate, savor and live her life to the fullest and highest degree of happiness! So on impulse she decided to do a road trip to her friend’s beach house in North Carolina. Unfortunately this is when she totals her vehicle! Luckily she finds herself rescued by the hottest man she has ever seen in her life! On top of that he has the most sexy Scottish brogue, dressed in a kilt, with a body to match. Yet as she gets to know Ramsay her inquisitive and curious mind wants to find out more! The attraction is instant between both of them, yet she also gets mixed signals from Ramsay. To Katie, he is like a traffic light she doesn’t know if she should stop of go?
Will Ramsay continue to believe that the Goddesses put Katies in his path or will he trust his own heart? Could it be his forced destiny or true love? However he so suspicious and untrusting of his attraction to Katie. His heart had been so shattered and trust broken by his ex-fiance he can’t believe in faith or love? In addition he worries its supernatural elements trying to force the match. He isn’t sure what and who he can trust?
Are Katies feelings for Ramsay true? Could he be just another test sample from the past to be examined, tested and analyzed? Possibly her best subject and finding of a lifetime!

Katie’s Highlander (A Highland Protector Novel) by Maeve Greyson is an enchanting story about a young archeologist who wrecks her car and stumbles across an odd family of Scottish Highlanders in of all places, North Carolina. It seems they run a living history theme park. A very attractive highlander who says his name is Ramsay and introduces his horse as Dubh rescues her from her car. He takes her back to his home, which looks for all the world like an authentic Scottish keep, where everyone is very kind to her. She asks questions Ramsay doesn’t want to answer so his solution is to distract her from her questions with too much whiskey.
The next morning he rises to discover she has walked into town to begin the process of seeing her car towed and repaired. Ramsay catches up with her, not happy. His bother catches them at the garage and admonishes Ramsay to come home and help with their father, who appears to be in the clutches of dementia. To make a long story short, during a ceremony that Katie plays along with to satisfy an old man’s whim, she ends of married to Ramsay. As this outcome dawns on her, she takes off running through the forest.
This is the first I heave read by this author and it will not be the last. The plot is clever and well depicted. The main characters are drawn with detail and depth. Is this historical fiction or is it something more? The love story is compelling and interesting and the details are enchanting. I highly recommend this book as a distracting read: one you will enjoy.
I received a free ARC of Katie’s Highlander in exchange for a fair and honest review. #netgalley #katieshighlander
Time travel, hot Scot, steamy romance – everything in one book!
I didn’t know what to expect going into this book, but the entire story was a delightful departure from typical romances. Ramsay is stuck in the modern world when he meets Katie, but their adventures take them back to his original time and their romance is set amid the influences and decisions that straddle both worlds.
The writing was exceptional, the characters and settings were vibrant and enchanting, and the emotional impact drove the story to a legendary HEA. It was a terrific book, and I highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Katie Jensen is smart, funny and an archaeologist. Her father and nanny were always looking for answers. Her father taught her to pick herself up and to carry on. Ramsay MacDara is a protector. He tends to the animals and believes he will lead a solitary life. He has made peace with that but the Goddesses have another thing in mind. Katie has crashed into his life and nothing has been the same. She charges ahead and leads with her heart. Ramsay is having a hard time keeping up. Know this, she has crawled into his heart from the very first time he sees her. There are things she is guessing about his family home and relics. She has no idea what is to come. First she is handfasting with Ramsay. Next they are told to stay on the path. Following directions is not Katie’s strong suit. She is transported back in time and is in shock. From the moment she arrives in that time, she wants to go back. Ramsay has found the place where he belongs. Will love bring them back to the future or will they stay. Love that Orkney Island was mention in this book.
A passionate and humorous travel adventure!
If you need to relax and wish a good Highlander romance, then choose Maeve Greyson’s book ‘Katie’s Highlander! I strongly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed. It has it all, humor, passion, adventure and a sexy Scottish man in a kilt matched to a stubborn and intriguing heroine. The best time travel romance that I have read in a long time! I have never laughed out loud so much while reading a book. If you haven’t read this series yet then stop everything and begin with the first story ‘Sadie’s Highlander’ and enjoy the 2nd one ‘Joanna’s Highlander’. The Highland Protector series by Maeve Greyson is one of the best time travel romance with a Scottish touch. Some scenes made me laugh so much!
An archaeologist named Katie finds herself stranded in small-town North Carolina with a brooding sexy highlander who’s straight out of ancient Scotland. Ramsay MacDara had wished that the goddesses had left him back in the tenth century. Unfortunately, Ramsay and his family are now living in the present protecting the precious stone called the Heartstone and doing their best to adapt to the modern world. Katie is driving her car when suddenly she crashes and is rescued by Ramsay who brings her to his family home. Being an archaeologist, she is curious about the MacDara legacy and its secrets. Just choose your favorite reading chair and embark on Ramsay and Katie’s journey during which they will discover that they were really meant for each other. I guess the goddesses sent their magic to match those two.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
What’s not to like about a highlander time traveling to modern day? Not a lot but this one can go back to the tenth century when deemed by the gods and take you with him! Ramsey MacDara just wants to be left in his century but it is not to be at the moment. In North Carolina with his family until her can get back, he comes upon a car wreck with Archaeologist Katie Jenson in the car.
Then it begins! Prepare to be taken on a unexpected journey that is really a lot of fun with the dialogue and quips by Katie. Listening to Ramsey and his thoughts was really entertaining. The back story of the goddesses and why Ramsey was sent to modern times and met with Katie are an inspired premise. As the two find that attraction, all bets are off. Yes, please send me with a highlander like Ramsey back to Scotland!! Great story!
Katie`s Highlander, Ramsey, is quite the man as all the MacDara men are. He is soured on love since he was duped by a false love (in a previous book) until he meets Katie. They get off on the wrong foot, but soon their mutual attraction takes over. I love Maeve Greyson`s storylines. They are always filled with intrigue, danger, romance, a little fantasy, and of course brawny Scots. This is book three in her Highland Protectors series. Although I would have enjoyed the book more if there was not so much profanity coming out of Katie`s mouth. It adds nothing to the story and for me is a real turnoff. Fortunately Katie`s potty mouth tended to be absent the last third of the book. That part of the book was very good, profanity unnecessary! Hopefully the next heroine ( for Ross I would think) will have cleaner language.
Book three, Katie’s Highlander, of the Highlander Protector series, is Katie and Ramsay’s story. I have read the first two books, but they are not required reading to enjoy Katie’s Highlander!
Katie is travelling through North Carolina enroute to visit friends when she crashes her car. Ramsay finds her, helps remove her from the car, and takes her to his family’s house. He is immediately taken with Katie and her straight forward, no b.s. ways. His history with women is tainted so he doesn’t quite trust what he is feeling. Katie is an archaeologist and equally attracted to Ramsay and his relics, but not sure if he’s for real.
Maeve Grayson takes us on a time travel adventure finding true love. Both of these two give each other hot and cold vibes. I was glad to see them finally give in and just feel! I loved Ramsay and all his witty comments in his head! Such a funny man! The star of the show was the book’s ending! The journey was entertaining and kept me intrigued, but the ending was the piece de resistance! It was so heartfelt and endearing it gave me goosebumps!
I highly recommend Katie’s Highlander and the entire Highlander Protector series! Each book is such a delightful and captivating read!
I voluntarily chose to review a gifted copy of this book from NetGalley. The rating and review are my personal opinion.
Loved this story. It is very well written and keeps your attention. The time travel storyline was not what I was expecting but I loved it. To go back to the year 917 with the majority of the story being in that time made it different from the other two books in this series. There is a HEA but a lot happens first. The ending was somewhat of a surprise but it makes a beautiful love for Katie and Ramsay. This was a wonderful story and I would highly recommend it along with the other two books in this series which I have read. You will not be disappointed.
Katie’s Highlander by Maeve Greyson is book Three in the Highlander Protector Series. This is the story of Katie Jenson and Ramsay MacDara. I have read the previous books (Loved Them) but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do this.
Katie is a Archaeologist who just lost her father a few months ago. On break she is traveling through
North Carolina where she ends up getting into a accident. Ramsay happens to find her and takes her back to his family home. Ramsay isn’t trusting of love or his feelings since he was scorned by a women. So he tries to fight his growing feelings but the goddesses and his family isn’t allowing that. Katie finds Ramsay attractive but he gives mix feelings back not to mention his strange family.
Loved this book and the series!
This was a well-written, entertaining book. Katie is on a six-month sabbatical from her job and on her way to a friend’s beach house when she has a car accident. Ramsay is riding his horse through the woods near his family’s North Carolina theme park when he finds Katie stuck in her car. Unexpected adventures follow and they have to join forces to make it through. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading others by this author.
Katie’s Highlander, by Maeve Greyson, the third book in the Highland Protector series, opens with a pair of legs and a khaki-covered backside sticking out of a sports car’s sunroof. Katie Jenson, a straight-talking, compassionate archaeologist, is stuck. Suddenly, a horse-riding, kilt-wearing warrior named Ramsey MacDara swoops in to save the day. The sparks fly.
