Book Review of Highland Blessings (Highland, Bk 1)

Highland Blessings (Highland, Bk 1)
copiousreader avatar reviewed on


This book is the Winner of the 2011 Holt Medallion Award for Best First Book.
Is anyone perfect as an author with their first book???

Highland Blessings is a surprisingly adept first novel from Jennifer Hudson Taylor. The book serves up a truly likable heroine, a satisfying romance, and all with a lush backdrop of castles, clans, plaids and a Scottish brogue to boot. A good supporting cast brings depth to the story, and I can recommend this book for a good dose of blessings, indeed. I look forward to seeing more from this new author.

There were a couple of plot points I stumbled over a bit, but the good far outweighs the bad in this medieval Scottish tale.

A small glossary would be a nice future addition for novice brogue readers' benefit including words like burn (river), bairn (child), kirk (church), & sennight (week).
