Short description

It's Highlander meets Bridget Jones.

Extended description

Alone, with a Highlander, in his castle, on a cold dark night...

(Okay, so it wasn’t that cold.)

Jillian MacKay is being conned by a pair of eighty-year-old witches. They’re convinced she’s the perfect sucker to test a prophecy and they’re willing to bury her alive to prove it. Once she escapes and finds herself in 15th Century Scotland, she believes her return home depends on a heroic deed—she must rescue a plaid-clad Romeo and Juliet before tragedy can strike. The monster standing in her way, however, is a handsome Highlander who might just be her own Romeo...a Romeo she must leave behind.

Rather than surrender his secrets, Montgomery Ross would prefer to go down in history as the heartless creature who betrayed one sister and buried the other alive. When he falls in love with the prophesied faery who has come to expose him, he'll have to learn a wee lesson from the star-crossed lovers or suffer the fate to which he once condemned them.

Review by: Shanda on Sep. 18, 2012 :
I have a confession to make: I have a weakness for time-travel books involving handsome Scottish Highland lairds. It is complete and utter escapism, and I love it.

I've read Going Back for Romeo twice now and enjoyed it even more the second time. It has everything I like: a strong heroine, a tough-yet-tender Scottish laird, and a pretty believable time-travel catalyst. There are good kisses, lots of romantic elements, and side characters with personality and depth.

There is a spot somewhere in the middle where I felt a bit disconnected, but I haven't been able to figure out why. It passed quickly and I was pulled back into the story for the remainder of the book. The writing is smooth and I really like the flow and voice. There were a few typos and small formatting issues but I got past them easily as I was pretty caught up in the story.

If you like a good time-travel romance with some laugh-out-loud moments, toe-curling romance, and a bit of adventure, then there's a good chance you'll enjoy Going Back for Romeo.

Content: There were a few swear words (heck, dang); some light innuendo and references to the hero wanting to "bed" the heroine; there is no premarital sex; there is one scene where the heroine comes downstairs in a "towel" to heat bath water in order to shock the hero; after marriage the reader knows they are consummating the marriage but there are no graphic descriptions and references to what is happening are vague and tender.

This is an absolutely fabulous read! I stayed up too late to finish reading it! Couldn't put it down. Loved the book. The Muir sisters are just a gem and I just loved seeing Jilly & Monty fall in love, hunky, handsome heroes & beautiful heroines...sigh...HEAs all around. I can't wait for the sequel of Quinn & Juliet's story!!!

Review by: Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf on Feb. 24, 2012 :
I am going to be completely honest about this…as I fully believe that you my readers deserve nothing less and I know that I expect nothing less from you. I went into this book fully expecting that it would be entertaining but not really “good” if you know what I mean. I mean…look at that cover…add Highlanders…time travel…witches…Romeo & Juliet… Isn’t it all really just a bit much?

NO, it is all exactly just right!

We are thrown right into the action with Laird Ross entombing his still living sister who has been condemned a witch and the book just runs from there. All of the characters are likeable and relatable. Jillian with her interesting background story makes a wonderful heroine. Monty with his tortured past is all you’d want in a Highlander. and the secondary characters all come alive through LL Muir’s story telling. And the author writes with such heart and wit that you’ll race through to the end before you even know what has happened.

I will admit that there were two small scenes were some of the story was told through flashbacks and I feel it would have kept the continuity had it all been told in chronological order and there was one scene that still has me scratching my head. However , it honestly didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story one bit.

I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this book! Honestly I can't really put my finger on any one thing...but I really did. The author must indeed be a witch as her same named characters are to have made such an impression on me:) And I want the next installment…now please!

If you are looking for a quick fun read with loveable and kooky characters and a lot of humor…this book is for you!

The story engaged me from the beginning. Loved Jillian and the characters made me laugh, cry, and root for them to overcome and fall in love.
I can't wait for the next in the series.
Still smiling.

I heard the first part of this novel at a reading Muir gave in '10 and have waited its release since then. The book fulfilled my expectations with fun characters, lively settings, and good intrigue. It was a quick, enjoyable read, and I was excited to hear there are more titles in the same world coming.
