About this listen
As a mechanical engineer in 1981 Chicago, Connie designs plumbing systems. She has also designed her life to perfection, right down to the man she hopes to marry. But when Mr. Right proposes, she can't say yes. A head-clearing vacation brings her to the Scottish Highlands, where her free-spirited twin wishes for Connie to find true love. Neither sister expects the wish to send Connie hurtling 500 years into the past.
Wilhelm Murray, heir to the barony of Dornoch, hopes to one day hold a seat in Parliament and bring urgently needed reform to Scotland. But everything changes when a woman slated for execution proclaims her innocence using the most peculiar language. Powerfully attracted to the brave beauty, he rescues her even though it means becoming a fugitive and forfeiting his dream.
As Connie and Wilhelm evade capture, she discovers his passion for justice. Scotland needs his ideas. It needs him. And so does she. But in order to clear Wilhelm's name, she will have to turn her back on everything she's worked so hard for and embrace the magic of love.

He’s never before met a woman so brave and passionate.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and no one is more desperate than Highlander Alasdair MacRae. His clan is on the verge of disaster thanks to continuous raids from the lying, thieving, murdering MacKenzies. Their latest strike has left Alasdair’s family on the precipice of starvation, and his brother badly wounded. The time has come to hit back, and what better blow to deliver than to kidnap his enemy’s daughter and use her to negotiate much-needed peace.

The Douglas sisters, beauties all, are valuable pawns in their family's bitter struggle to control the Scottish Crown. But when powerful enemies threaten, each Douglas lass will find she must face them alone. Captured by a Laird Haunted by his father's violent death, David Hume, the new laird of Wedderburn, sets out to make his name so feared that no one will dare harm his family again. The treacherous ally who played on his father's weakness is dead and beyond David's vengeance, but his castle and young widow are ripe for the taking. The moment David lays eyes on the dark-haired beauty defending her wee daughters, however, he knows this frail-looking lass is the one person who could bring him to his knees. Wed at thirteen to a man who tried daily to break her spirit, Lady Alison Douglas is looking forward to a long widowhood. But when the fearsome warrior known as the Beast of Wedderburn storms her gates, she finds herself, once again, forced to wed a stranger. Alison is only a pawn to serve his vengeance, so why does this dark warrior arouse such fiery passion and an unwelcome longing in her heart? With death and danger looming, these two wounded souls must learn to trust each other; for only love can save them.

It starts with a wish
If you could sum up Choosing the Highlander in three words, what would they be?
Fate, Discovery, Desire
What other book might you compare Choosing the Highlander to and why?
Behind the Plaid by Eliza Knight in both stories a woman time travels to 16th Century Scotland and fall in love with a Highlander.
Any additional comments?

this was a fantastic run thru time, history and full of a growing stubborn love. the choices that are hard but right. The narrator's gift of voicing true emotions and changing from characters, gender and dialect is fascinating and has me looking for all the books she has worked on.

Time travel back to medieval Scotland!
This is a very cute story, and is the 3rd and final installment of the Highland Wishes Trilogy.
All three stories involve an element of magic, time travel, some danger and suspense, and of course setting two people on the path to finding true happiness with one another.
In this book, one twin sister ( Leslie) wishes for the other twin Connie) to find true love and happiness. They do this in Scotland, during the solstice, while standing in a Druid circle. Oh... and Connies wearing a ‘magic’ pendant.
Then WHOOSH, Connie is magically transported 500 years into Scotland’s past... and immediately arrested and lit on fire for being a witch.
She is subsequently rescued at great personal and political cost by a beautiful Highland warrior.
But of course they are chased , and Wilhelm needs to clear his name. Will Connie run back to the future? Or will she stay in the past, fighting for justice, while also learning to love?
The reason I give the story 3 stars is because of the quality of the writing. There is just way to much repetition. The internal monologue of the heroine just keeps saying the same thing over and over and over again. Once you snoozed past those sections, and the story started back up, Ms Gage tells a good tale. So much so in fact that I grew invested in the secondary characters and want to know more about them.
What happened to Connie’s twin sister?

Reader Alert: Great story; wrong order
I made the mistake of reading the 3 books in the order indicated. In my humble opinion, the order of the last two books should be reversed. Book 2 was a HUGE spoiler for this book. Not wanting to be a spoiler myself, I won't give specifics.
Suffice it to say,. if you have not already read the second book in the series, read this one first.
