I love historical romance, especially Highland-set historical romance.
I started to dislike this book around page 45. In fact, around page 30 I thought about putting it down. Instead I forced myself to read it.
What didn't I like? First, there is no reason that the hero and heroine like each other. They literally see each other and there is no rhyme or reason for the attraction; well, except there needed to be a plot. Also, the hero is inconsistent - one minute he's distrusting of her, the very next, literally, she is the center of his world. But nothing has changed, except the page number. Third, she keeps a secret for a stupidly long time, long past any reasonable woman would. It's not that big a secret, and it's fairly clear the hero would help her. The ending is also similarly not believable, convenient, and . . . what's the word I'm looking for. . . insulting to our intelligence as readers.
Please, save yourself a few hours of time and avoid this book.
