The heroine has dreamt of the man who is destined to help her find her missing sister and he arrives just in time to save her from being kidnapped herself. The hero takes one look at the heroine and knows she's going to be trouble. First she asked for his help but she's keeping secrets from him and he doesn't like it. Together they start the progress of tracking the kidnappers but when it's made clear that is enemy is fae, the heroine must come to terms with the origin of her own powers. I liked the heroine for the most part. She was vulnerable and terrified with worry over her sister. From even before meeting the hero, she knew without a doubt that he was someone to depend on and he certainly was. He was strong and comforting whenever she had a vision dream or when the scale of the mountain she must climb to save her sister became too much and she began to cry. I did like the fact that after a few days of sexual tension between the two she finally convinces herself to take what she wants in life and seduces the hero though she's scared of rejection. But, as it is with most heroines in this genre, she suddenly becomes stupid. What is it with chicks thinking that they cane suddenly go to war with the bad guys when they've never once had to fight for their lives. The heroine gets it into her head that she absolutely must be present when confronting the enemy fae despite the fact that she hired the hero to track and retrieve her sister. The man is doing just that, he's capable of handling it and the dude's already had to save her like 3 times already. Really, listen lady just stay home! You're only in the way and you can see how tortured the hero is with the thought of losing you let you ignore him and go and get yourself caught. What pissed me off even more was the fact she lied to the hero, told him she was staying home but had the audacity to feel betrayed when she realizes he's locked the door because he doesn't trust her!!! But I did like the hero despite his questionable taste is truly annoying woman. I found him to be charming and protective. This was a decent enough book and I would read it again in the future. ( )

I have to admit that the first chapter of this book was a bit challenging and I almost didn't want to continue with the book. But I am glad that I made the effort because I really did enjoy this book. I don't know if it was because of coming into the series without knowing the characters or what but after settling into the rhythm of the book I got all caught up in the tale of "soulmates" Jesse and Destiny. Nothing like a little magic with your romance, eh? The book ends with some time travel - another theme I love - that sets up the next book perfectly. It left me really wanting to find out what happens to the characters; it's a good thing when a book gets you invested in their lives. Oh, and the cover is just beautiful! When I opened the package the book just came to life with sparkles. ( )

I loved this book, and even though it is the 5th in the series, I never felt like I was lost. The chemistry between Jesse and Destiny is amazing, and I felt like I was feeling most of what they were.
I am an avid reader of paranormal romance and Melissa didn't disappoint!!

Everyone in Destiny Noble's life has abandoned her and the only family she has left is her younger sister. When the Nuadian Fae kidnap her sister, Destiny uses her dreams to locate her, which leads her to Jesse Coryell, a member of Dallyn's Elite Guard.

Jesse Coryell owns Coryell Enterprises that specializes in tracking down captives held against their will. He takes on Destiny as an unofficial client and promises to help her locate her sister. He is used to calling the shots during the investigations but Destiny refuses to be a docile client with her sister's life in the balance.

Jesse finds her stubbornness intriguing and dangerous. Women have wanted him for his unlimited back account, but not Destiny. She wants him to trust in her visions to help her locate her sister - something that he is not prepared to do. His lack of faith in her abilities causes her to follow her own path even when it leads her into danger forcing Jesse to rescue her.

With the disappearance of her beloved sister, Leah, Destiny Noble's life narrows down to one thing, finding Leah. In Highlander's Destiny, another story in the Daughters of Glen series, author Melissa Mayhue flings us into the world of the Fae along with Destiny. Of course, like all good romances, we have a gorgeous hero in the person of Jesse Coryell. A man with a mission, Jesse doesn't always trust what Destiny reveals about her visions. Which for a lot of this story, forces them to work separately, together. The plot moves with good pacing, the descriptions are really, really good, and the conflict resolves itself in a believable manner. If you're a fan of the Daughters of Glen series, I don't think you'll be disappointed with author Mellissa Mayhue's new book, A Highlander's Destiny.

Teaser Snippet:
"Destiny's mind crowded with questions, the shock of what she'd just seen blocking them all. It couldn't be. None of it was possible.
And yet...she'd seen the proof with her own eyes." ( )

If your looking for just a fun read and an exciting adult fairy story then here's your book! I will admit I had some moment's of confusion with the book but I'm attributing it to the fact that I haven't read the previous book. From the title alone (not the summary) I was expecting a little more action from the "highlander" angle but found it to be an enjoyable fairie story instead.
We followed Destiny in her search for her sister who has been kidnapped. This leads Destiny to finding Jesse; a rich/half fae/ highlander/ private investigator that she just can't seem to trust. Their love story was interesting and frustrating at the same time which made for a good read.
The ending actually really wanted to make me read the next book (hint: it includes time travel!)
Overall, I'd say it was a quick read that you didn't have to concentrate on too hard. It's a good book to read if your looking to step into a different place, relax, and read about fairies.
One last note: In person this cover is just GORGEOUS! ( )
