Summary

Tavish was the best boyfriend Kelsey ever had, but seven years ago he disappeared. She coped with her heartbreak by finishing her doctorate in Celtic Artwork, and now her career is taking off. 

Except Tavish keeps showing up at her job sites and butting into her business - all the while wearing that stupid sexy kilt. But she's here to see the ruins, not Tavish. So she'll just have to show him who's boss at this site. Because under these cliffs at Dunskey Castle, it is rumored, lies the true ancient palace of the kings of Alba.   

Gggrr. How does Tavish know more about it than she does?

3 love stories in one set

Time travel, mystery, intrigue and romance. Each book tells the story of first Tavish, then Seumas, then Tomas. Each one is filled to the brim with madness and mayhem as the men battle some evil druids working very dark magic. All the while they have their hands full getting through their daily lives, jobs and sort out love interests. Loads of reading hours to while away the time. If you love time travel and romance you can't go wrong with this set of books. Enjoy!
Excellent narration by Andrew McDermott.

Triple helping of time travel romance

‘Druid Magic: Dunskey Castle 1-3 (Druids Bidding Book 2)’ collects together three individual Celtic time travel romances which follow on from each other (‘Tavish’, ‘Seumas’ and ‘Tomas’) by Cherise Kelley writing as Jane Stain. The feisty female leads for these books are friends Kelsey, Sasha and Amber.

Kelsey reunites with her previous boyfriend, Tavish, who turns up at the dig and Sasha subsequently meets and forms a relationship with Seumas back in the past. A secret passage at a Scottish archaeological site in the cliff under the ruins of Dunskey Castle is used to "hide" travel between current day and the fourteenth century with the time travel being facilitated by a “magic” ring that Tavish wears. Whilst this has a side benefit of providing Kelsey and Sasha with the means to do “original research", it also unwillingly ropes them into searching for original artefacts in the past to bring back to hand over to modern-day druids. Amber’s former boyfriend and Tavish’s twin, Tomas, is “under the spell” of a modern-day female druid posing as his girlfriend in order to literally control him to go back in time to obtain artefacts and not deviate from that task (like getting side-tracked with an actual girlfriend). Amber has her work cut out trying to break the spell for her happy ending.

OK – this is not in the league of Outlander – not even close. Let’s face it, Diana Gabaldon’s work is a masterpiece and she does a lot of background research for authenticity so I would always want to give her work 10 out 5 if it was possible. However, it doesn’t stop me enjoying other time travel romances such as this one.

This box set has romance, humour, action, adventure and time travel – what’s not to like! Andrew McDermott does a fantastic job with the narration. An easy, entertaining and enjoyable listen.

Fantastic Story and Oh Wow sexy Narrator Voice

There are times when I read a book and can imagine the voice of the characters. This narrator had me captured with his Scots voice and had just got all the voices I head in my head when I read the book spot on! The stories are exciting and have a wonderful back ground to them. I enjoyed more listening to the narrator than reading it the first time. Don't miss this one sure to love it.

⏰More Time Travel Adventures!⏰

Jane Stain has bundled her three time traveling books (Tavish, Seumas and Tomas) into one book. You will follow these three Scottish Highlanders as they battle scheming Druids and fall in love across the centuries.

Andrew McDermott continues his narration of the Dunskey Castle series. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... Mr. McDermott is one of my favorite narrators! Well done! Worth a credit!

Great continuation of the series

I enjoyed this story alot. I usually enjoy Druid stories, so it couldn't go too far wrong for me! The characters are well developed and complex. The story world is beautifully detailed and so realistic it pulls you into the scene. I absolutely love Andrew McDermott's narratives and would willingly listen to him narrate the dictionary! In this case, the Irish accent really accentuates the story and helps you fall into the world much deeper than just reading it would! I highly recommend both this book and other works by this narrator!

Get lost in Dunskey Castle

Loved this book right from the beginning! Tavish and Kelsey go back in time looking for the artifact. This is a great storyline brilliantly brought to life by the amazing Andrew McDermott

Tightly woven & well-written romantic time travel

Tavish (Dunskey Castle #1), my second read from author Jane Stain, an author I've wanted to read since I began acquiring her books back in 2017, I own 21 of them.

Seumas (Dunskey Castle, #2), my third read from author Jane Stain.

Tomas (Dunskey Castle, #3), my fourth read from author Jane Stain. I've committed to reading the Dunsky Castle series in its entirety. I look forward to the next book from her, Time of the Celts (Dunskey Castle #4). I'll read more from this author & in this series, but what really got me going was narrator Andrew McDermott, I love his Irish brogue. “I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
