A Highland Christmas by Janet Chapman was the first book that I read in Chapman’s Highlander series. I must say that I was not disappointed and I will defiantly read more of the series. Janet Chapman has combined the perfect blend of Celtic customs, mystery, magic and romance. For me the beginning of the book was a little hard to get into but once I reached chapter three I was hooked. I could not put the book down. Janet Chapman has a way of making her characters come to life. She also holds true to the Scottish traditions including the magic of the Druids. A truly remarkable read that offers all of us a little bit of Christmas magic.
