Her books are always quality work with a great story and endearing characters

Amy Jarecki is a go-to author for me when I am in the mood for a highland romance. Her books are always quality work with a great story and endearing characters. In The Highland Guardian, Reid MacKenzie unexpectedly becomes the guardian to Audrey Kennet when her father dies. Reid thinks he's taking charge of a child rather than a young woman which makes for an interesting dilemma. Audrey's a shy, naive homebody who would be content to be left alone. Throw in a long-lost, creepy cousin who is after the Kennet estate and this book officially has everything I love in a good story.

Loved it!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story about Reid and Audrey. Fulfilling a promise to a dying friend he agrees to become guardian to his daughter thinking she is a child. To his surprise she is a full grown woman. This story has more than just romance, it has the intrigue and history and the coming together of two people from different places and the obstacles they have to overcome. There is also steamy romance!! I love that she incorporates characters from her other books but this is also a stand alone. I love reading Amy’s books and if you have not read the, before I would definitely recommend this one!
