The year is 1568 and Mary, Queen of Scots, is imprisoned in Lochleven Castle. But Mary’s supporters, including noblewoman Heather Gordon, are planning a daring rescue. In order to gain entry to the castle, they need to help of one man—a resident of a small cottage in the frigid Highlands who just happens to resemble someone with access to Lochleven.
Heather travels to the cottage as a tutor, determined to train this man to act the part of a nobleman in order to make their scheme a success. But in the close quarters of the cottage there is more afoot than political rebellion. And Heather is soon in danger of losing her heart and her head!
A suspenseful story of deceit and betrayal, love and secrets, this is a book you won’t want to miss.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Great storyline, disapointing book!, May 15, 2009 As High as the Heavens has an amazing storyline: Heather Gordon is a woman of high upbringing and her father asks a serious task of her: to teach a highlander how to be a gentleman. Heather is a bit mortified at first, especially because the highlander is actually the twin brother of the wealthy Collin. Heather eventually agrees to do what her father asks, but only because it is part of a plot to save Queen Mary who is being held in a tower. When Heather travels to the highlands everything turns out different than planned and Heather must spend much time with the highlander she thinks is rude, and unmannered. As the 3 months that Heather as left to change the highlander goes by, she begins to fall in love despite her father's hatred of him and her being betrothed to another man. Will love conquer all? Or will Heather's father and betrothed get in the way? I enjoyed the storyline to this book, but I thought it could have been written much better. I am a huge fan of Kathleen Morgan's books and some of her other books are much better than this. Although Kathlen Morgan tried to re-sell this book as a Christian novel, there was very little mentioned of Christ or being saved. I also felt like the romance between Heather and Duncan took over the story and instead of helping along the plotline. I would have enjoyed more about the daring rescue of Queen Mary as well instead of the rushed ending. Altogether this would have been a better book if she had gone back and re-did some parts. It's a great start for a storyline though and an interesting read.
