Product Description:
Ian McCullough is neck-deep in his own trouble. A half-mortal descendant of Faeries, he's been a Guardian for more than six hundred years, but he's never encountered a woman like Sarah. Assigned to protect her, he finds the job tougher than he could have imagined. Oh, he can handle the stalker, and even the renegade Faeries trying to kidnap her. But falling in love means forsaking his role as Guardian -- which is some-thing he could never do.
But there is no denying the passion that exists between two souls fated to be together.

When I read Melissa Mayhue's debut novel, Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband [Pocket, June 2007], I fell instantly in love with the characters and world she'd designed around a historical magical glen and a faerie promise. There's just something about the Fae dabbling in the mortal world--past or present--that creates the most delightful and conflicted stories. I could hardly wait for her second release in the Daughters of the Glen series, Highland Guardian. It's every bit as satisfying as I expected.
Romance novelist Sarah Douglas arrives in Scotland determined to overcome her writer's block and come to terms with her strange ability to sense the emotions of everyone she touches. Add a stalker who might be a figment of her imagination to her attraction to the yummy but much younger owner of the cottage she's rented, and her troubles are only beginning!
A half-mortal descendent of Faeries, Ian McCullough's been a successful Guardian for centuries. His new assignment, though, is way beyond his experience. Handling Sarah's stalker and the renegade Faeries determined to kidnap her is the easy part. Falling in love and forsaking his role as Guardian may be his biggest challenge yet.
Although Sarah and Ian's story takes place in the present instead of the past, as in her debut novel, Mayhue's fantasy world holds firm. I have no doubt there are faeries and Guardians living and breathing amongst the mortals in Scotland today. Highland Guardian is a story filled with suspense and desire, with a strong thread of magic and Fate thrown in. You can't go wrong picking up this one!

it was still a great book. I have to admit I was a little disappointed compared to the first, (and third book) but it was still an enjoyable read. However, that being said, if I had read this one first, it would still make me go for her other books in the series. I think the way she weaves a story is wonderful, and love her choice of words. I have read other romance books where I couldn't care less for the lead characters, but all of Melissa Mayhue's characters have strength, determination and grit without being annoying, selfish and pathetic. The passion is all her novels is thrilling!

While I don't do many reviews, I had to remark on Highland Guardian. I found the book one of the most enjoyable I've read in ages.
Ian is a dream, the perfect combination of edgy and yummy. Though he continually reminds himself he can't get involved romantically, he can't resist standing up for her when her ex acts like a jerk.
Sarah isn't your run of the mill heroine needing rescuing, either. Despite people and otherworldlies being after her, she doesn't wilt like a flower. She also doesn't fold when Ian doesn't like the attention Ramos gives her.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading Melissa's subsequent one during my vacation.

A successful romance writer with writer's block, Sarah Douglas travels
to Scotland to work on her novel. Sarah must also come to terms with
her ability to feel the emotions of people she touches. From the
moment of her arrival, nothing goes as it should. First, there is a
horrible storm that makes traveling to her lodging almost impossible.
Second, there is what may or may not be a stalker she sees in the
shadows. And third, there is her attraction to the very handsome,
much younger Ian McCollough.
Ian McCollough has worked as a Guardian for over six hundred years.
Part mortal, part Fae, Ian has been assigned to protect Sarah. Not
only must Ian protect her from a stalker, a jerk of an ex-husband and
rogue Faeries, Ian must not fall in love with Sarah. Falling in love
will jeopardize Ian's role as a Guardian, a role he is honor bound to
hold. But Sarah ignites Ian's passions and loving her may very well
be his destiny.
If I thought I could have a Highland Guardian too, I'd be on the next
jet airliner to Scotland. Ian and his comrades are truly delicious.
Much like the DeLafee chocolate Sarah receives, these Faerie
descendants are mouthwatering.
Melissa Mayhue's writing is magical. Unable to stop, I devoured
Highland Guardian in one afternoon. Highland Guardian has dark
suspense, wretched villains, and smoking hot romance. Highland
Guardian is fantastic!

WOW!! I loved this book. Her debut book, THIRTY NIGHTS, was awesome, but I think this book really shows Mayhue's range. Whether writing time travel or contemporary, Mayhue really knows how to write a compelling, un-put-down-able romance. You can find summaries elsewhere, so I'll dive into how this book rocked. I really loved the fabulous world she built in this book (intertwining a mature faerie culture into modern times) and the hints of future books to come. I also loved the depth of character she infused in both her hero and heroine and the twist she put on the older woman/younger man plot...you'll have to read it to find out what I mean. And then there is the amazing supporting cast. I can't wait for some of their stories. This was definitely a keeper for me; I'm eagerly awaiting her subsequent novel.
