A Highlander for Hannah by Mary Warren is one of those books that you curl up with and lose yourself in for a few hours. This book has so many wonderful elements; a touch of magic (literally), a sexy time traveling highlander (not going to lie, one of my all time favorite tropes), and a heroine not weighted down by the expectations of others. Rather Hannah’s journey about finding love runs parallel to finding herself again. This slow burn romance brings so many wonderful story telling elements and if you are looking for a fun, cozy read, I would highly recommend A HIGHLANDER FOR HANNAH.
On a personal note: Writing stories featuring a fat main character is a delicate line. So many times authors lean into hurtful and stereotypical storylines, especially in romance, as if to say that a fat person is only deserving of love when they overcome all these horrible things. It is so incredibly frustrating to me as a reader, and to me as a fat woman.
Mary does not do that. She gives us a fat main character because all bodies are different and all people are deserving of love. And that is it. This is the fat representation I want to see in books. Mary did a beautiful job in this book. I hope it brings joy to all the Romance readers.
