Why read it?
1 author picked True to the Highlander as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Setting, setting, setting! Barbara writes such lovely backdrops for her even more lovely characters, and this one takes you way back to the dangerous and politically charged fifteenth century. True to the Highlander kicks off a 4-book series, and each book is as engrossing and detailed as the last. I love when a character has a thing that separates them from the crowd, and that thing for Barbara’s heroine is her beautiful violin playing. Pick this one up, and your heart will be making music too, because this one tugs at the heartstrings.
From Jessi's list on The best time travel romances that leave you feeling light, swoony, and satisfied.
