Again, Anna Campbell has drawn me in with characters that came to life, made me smile and sigh with delight. In The Highlander's Christmas Quest we meet a man looking for adventure and takes to the seas to find it. His adventure goes off course when a storm ruins his boat and sends him to an island. Luckily, this island has a very becoming young woman who greets him wearing a pair of men's breeches.
Kirsty believes in love at first sight when she sees the big, strong Dougal. She can't believe her luck when he lands on her shores needing boat repairs. The more she gets to know him, the more she's convinced that he's her destiny. But, the boat repairs will only take a little time. Not enough time to make Dougal fall in love and change his plans. If only she had more time...
I really enjoyed this short little tale and I'm definitely a fan of The Lairds Most Likely series. I admit to having a bit of an issue with how quickly Dougal changed his mind from hate to love, but it is a short story so I shouldn't be surprised. I kept waiting for the reasoning for his abrupt change but it was only expressed as realising he loved her. Hmmm...maybe but it just didn't seem likely considering how cranky he was with Kirsty.
The Highlander's Christmas Quest was a sweet little story that left me satisfied. I'm a fan of Anna Campbell's writing and I will definitely be back for more soon.
