A McMillan Christmas

Morna's Legacy Series, Book 7.5

De: Bethany Claire

Narrado por: Lily Collingwood

When the worst snowstorm of the century hits the Scottish Highlands just in time for the Christmas holiday, Harper knows she must seek shelter from the storm. With her grandparents' home still hours away and the roads growing more hazardous by the minute, she is left with no choice but to take refuge in the one place she swore to never return - McMillan Castle - the home of the only man to ever break her heart.

Christmas only serves to remind Kamden McMillan of all that he's lost. As he settles in for yet another holiday spent alone, he is stunned when his ex-girlfriend breaks into his home to escape the snow. With the storm projected to last for days, Kamden sees this time alone with her as a chance to make things right.

Just as they begin to get reacquainted, Morna's meddling magic sends them back in time, and both are forced to reconsider what they thought they knew about the other. Will returning to the year their relationship ended allow Kamden and Harper to mend the hurt between them? Or has history already sealed their fate?

Any additional comments?

I had read this book previously but the narration adds to the story, Unlike the other books in this series, this book deals with 2 people who live in the present and take a trip back to 2 different times to realize how much they love each other and what they lost when they had broken up 5 years before.
As always, BEthany Claire does an amazing job of making you want to love the characters and you feel their pain when things go wrong.

Two Time Jumps?!

5 Stars
Series: Book 7.5: Morna’s Legacy
Characters: Harper & Kamden McMillan
Setting: Scotland (Past/Present/Present-Past?)
Mature Themes: Sex

Recommendation:
A delightful Christmas story of love, redemption, and of course a sexy Scotsman or two. This is book 7.5 in the series and can be read as a standalone story, but I would still recommend reading the first 7+ ones before starting this one.

Harper and Kamden are a passionate loving match made for each other, except nothing went as planned. When a blizzard forces Harper to take shelter at a nearby castle, she’s more than upset when she finds it’s one from her past. Kamden dreams of changing the day it all went wrong, he’s changed, and he wants a second chance with Harper, but he’s not even sure how to start. In comes Morna.

This is a Christmas story, but refreshingly enough, that’s not the focus. The romance we’ve grown to love from all of the Scotsmen and their brides, the meddling from Morna, and the time-travel quirks are all still present and center focus. A major departure for a Morna’s Legacy novel is the two characters starting out with a history and not as complete strangers. This gave the length of the story room to explore a deeper love than would have been possible otherwise. Seeing these two characters come together and heal one another made for a beautiful Christmas miracle.

Audiobook Review:
Lily Collingwood is, as always, enjoyable to hear. The novella was 4 hours, the recording quality was excellent with no hum or distortion and made the entire focus on the story.

Second chance for romance

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this short story about second chance at romance for Kamden and Harper. This is a different type of time travel since the couple is in the present time and travel back to when they had their breakup to see why things happened the way they did and then they travel back to the time of the earliest McMillan ancestors of Kamden's. The couple are still in love with each other and have to overcome past misunderstandings. Even though this is short, nothing seems to be skipped in the telling of their story. Lily Collingwood does a wonderful job with the different voices I highly recommend this book and can't wait for more to be made into audio. I received a copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
