It Happened in the Highlands is the next audiobook in the new historical Highland series, The Penningtons, from USA Today bestseller May McGoldrick...

Lady Josephine Pennington was jilted by her fiancé once rumors spread about her questionable origins. Her adoptive parents have always provided her with the love and protection she’s needed to feel secure, and over the last sixteen years she’s molded herself to meet the expectations of others. When she receives a package containing sketches where the subject is eerily familiar, Jo believes she might have found a clue to the identity of her birth mother.

When Captain Wynne Melfort ended his engagement to Jo Pennington sixteen years ago, he never imagined he would see her again. But after he uncovers information that could reveal the truth about Jo’s parentage, Wynne feels bound by duty to right an old wrong and inform her of his find. He didn’t expect for feelings long thought dead to resurface, for in his mind a love departed was gone forever.

As they strive to unravel the mystery of her birth, Jo must learn how to trust the man who’d once rejected her and Wynne must reconcile his head with his heart. But as secrets of the past begin to surface, evil forces will stop at nothing to keep Jo from uncovering the truth and reclaiming her legacy. Together, Jo and Wynne must fight the deadly menace lurking deep in the Highland mists.

Though I tend to always love this author’s writing style and enjoyed Romancing the Scot, book 1 of this series, I’m sorry to report this book happened to start off with elements that just do not sit well with me in my romantic reads. I’m just not a fan of a spineless, cowardly hero (view spoiler)[ who abandoned th (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Gloria on February 22, 2024

I’m going to try to be fair about this, I really am. This was well-written. The story arc was plotted well. The characters were fully realized. The story slammed into melodrama briefly at the end, with a purely evil, pistol-wielding villain, but righted itself beyond that moment. But I LOATHED, repea......more

Goodreads review by Tracy on March 24, 2018

I am really torn about this review - the writing was great and the story was gripping, but as a romance novel, it fell flat for me.

Goodreads review by T. Anderson on March 13, 2018

Love, love, love May McGoldrick! This is the second book in The Penningtons series and can be summed up with the phrase (sing along with me), "Love is easier, the second time around." Lady Josephine Pennington is madly in love with Lieutenant Wynne Melfort. He's handsome and kind, and he shields her......more
