Book Review: Highland Song by Tanya Anne Crosby

Series: Highland Brides #5
Author: Tanya Anne Crosby
Published by Oliver-Heber Books
Age: Adult
Gavin Mac Brodie fears the thought of becoming the man his father was. Driven into solitude by visions of what he would not be and could not have, he vows never to wed. But this last of the available Brodie men is about to encounter a wee bit of Highland magic...

Catrìona is no stranger to solitude. Driven deep into the Highland mountains, her kinsmen have become little more than legend. But no one knows better than Cat that you cannot hide from fate. Naked and painted in the woad of her ancestors, she appears to Gavin Mac Brodie ...

But is she flesh and blood--a chance for a future--or just a faerie creature who will vanish if Gavin dares to open his heart?
Highland Song is part of the Highland Brides series, and I downloaded it for free at Amazon Kindle (I think it's currently free). Gavin Mac Brodie is building his own home, now that all his brothers are married, he doesn't feel comfortable living with them. He's building it alone until Catriona, naked and beautiful, shows up. They get together pretty fast but Gavin doesn't know Catriona is escaping. When they are found together, it's already too late to separate them...

Highland Song is just a short novella. It has reference from the other characters from the series, which I haven't read. I enjoyed it, only took a while to read it, and Gavin was cute. But I had problems sometimes understanding their slang (but English isn't my native language).

Some of you books lovers (if not all) have seen this list: 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. If not, go and check it out. It's amazing! I'd love to read them all but I think it would be too difficult for me, specially because I've tried to read some and couldn't finish! (Dracula by Bram Stoker and Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez, for example).

But I can say I have read 17 of these books (if I didn't miss anything) and liked them, in some cases even loved them!:

  1. Sense and Sensibility – Jane Austen
  2. Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen
  3. Emma – Jane Austen
  4. Persuasion – Jane Austen
  5. A Christmas Carol – Charles Dickens
  6. Jane Eyre – Charlotte Brontë
  7. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll
  8. Little Women – Louisa May Alcott
  9. Around the World in Eighty Days – Jules Verne
  10. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – Robert Louis Stevenson
  11. The Little Prince – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
  12. Lord of the Flies – William Golding
  13. The House of the Spirits – Isabel Allende

How about you? Have you read some of them? Would you challenge yourself to read all 1001 books?
