To Dance in the Glen is book one in The Glen Highland Romance series by Michelle Deerwester-Dalrymple. I enjoyed this book. I felt a bit frustrated by the number of editing errors. But the story is very well written and Ms. Deerwester-Dalrymple is spot on with her history. I thought the character of Meggie Lachlan was very likable and believable. Born a poor crofter’s daughter, Meg doesn’t see the possibility of marriage to the Laird Ewan MacLeod of her Clan. But when he rescues her from a band of English brigands, she finds herself falling in love with him. “Ye have duties, milord. Duties that are far more important than a mere maid who occupies a space well above her station in her Laird’s home. ‘Tis time for me to go home and accept my place.” “Accept your place? By God, Meg, this is your place! I will no’ let ye leave. This is your new home and your new place is here with me!” Then, before she could breathe, he swept her towards him, crushing her against his large frame, kissing her raggedly. He clung to her so that she could not push herself away. His mouth possessed hers repeatedly, hungry for her. She felt the hardness of his body, his strength, and his power, that power she had only seen before, and she could not think, could not move, could not breathe.” There are quite a few steamy scenes. There is also a second love story included in this tale. I wish there had been a wider look at the Clan and at Meg’s struggle to adapt. But overall, a very good story and I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, Suspenseful and Steamy Historical Romance
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2018

To Dance in the Glen is a well-written and classic historical romance set in the Highlands of Scotland. The story is set squarely during the reign of Robert the Bruce who devoted himself to resisting ongoing English efforts to dominate Scotland. The story begins in the year 1296 with a brutal murder perpetrated by English invaders. Ten years later, we take up the tale of Meggie, a working class girl, and Ewan, son of the Laird of the MacLeod clan, whose mother was the murder victim ten years earlier. Despite their best efforts to do otherwise, Meggie and Ewan can’t resist each other. They fall in love and marry at the same time that Ewan takes over the Laird responsibilities at his father’s death.

Author Michelle Deerwester-Dalrymple has done an admirable job of telling a compelling historical romantic tale. The love story is believable, despite Meggie and Ewan’s differences in social status. Theirs is a tale of romantic love that often becomes quite steamy. At the same time, we benefit from an often very suspenseful recounting of the English intrusions and brutality. The English are not shy about terrifying the local population and using subterfuge to win. Meggie becomes a target when the English leader realizes how important she is to Ewan McLeod.

Deerwester-Dalrymple has a gift for dialect that made it easy to “hear” the written words spoken in a Scottish burr. The final chapters are chilling at times, as we follow Ewan in his attempt to rescue a kidnapped Meggie. Characters are well-drawn, and the story was enhanced by a moral dilemma experienced first by Meggie’s father, then by Meggie’s husband Ewan. Also the author manages to avoid many of the tiresome tropes we too often see in romantic novels. My only criticism is that the manuscript needed better proofreading, and the digital formatting was off at times. I personally would have liked reading more physical descriptions of the Highlands because I know it is a place of particular beauty.

Any historical novel that sends me off to look up a fact is a good one in my view. My task this time is to try to determine if and how jade beads made it all the way from the Middle Kingdom across Asia on the Silk Road to Italian traders’ ports, and then were traded and re-traded until they found themselves on a beautiful dress worn by a lass in the Highlands of Scotland.

This writer has good story lines. However, she misuses words; apparently not knowing or understanding what they mean. Her understanding of the history of the era is baseless and misses authenticity by a mile. She needs to research her subject and use a dictionary before using a word.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn’t Put It Down - Rivals the Outlander series.
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2019

This is one of the best historical romance/ adventure novels I have read since I began reading the Outlander series. Yes, it’s that good. How refreshing to find a novel that immediately pulls you in with a fabulous plot. The descriptions are perfect - not too much and not too little. Dialogue is realistic and easy to follow. I was invested in the characters by the end of chapter one. Meg is wonderful with her strong will entwined in a kind and caring personality. I loved her from the moment she stood up for herself early in the book. Ewan quickly became my second favorite character with his strong personality. I was thrilled with the choices made by these characters. Ewan’s brother, Gavin , Jenny, Davey ... you will love them all. Then there are Meg’s parents - both strong characters and an integral part of this amazing story. The plot twists and turns, keeping the this reader on the edge of her seat.
The author obviously took great care to research her historical facts. Did I mention this stands right up there with the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon?
This ebook is well edited. To be honest, I probably wouldn’t have cared if it hadn’t been because I was so engrossed in the story, I read it in an afternoon. What a wonderful, refreshing story! Can’t wait to read the next one. This is a book I will read again and again.

I loved this story. It moved along quite well. There was always a twist unexpected that takes you onto the next page, then the next. Its one you can't wait to pick up at any opportunity and when its done it has a way of making the reader feel like there are no hanging loose ends. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys this style of story.
