Helpful Score: 1

Having read the Highland Pleasures series first (the brothers Mackenzie), this book came as a terrible let down. While this book is filled with sensual moments, the characters were not compelling, the situation was silly, and they were too instantly in love to be much of a romance. I feel like romance novels should be about falling in love, not instant love in the first two pages followed by 350 pages of planning weddings, planning ceremonies, planning rituals, blah blah boring blah. I nearly put it down but I LOVED Jennifer Ashley's other books so much, I couldn't believe how bad this one was. She usually writes extremely dynamic interesting characters whom you love so much, the rest of the plot is irrelevant. Wow was this book a surprise (not in a good way).

There were a lot of naughty bits, a bit more envelope-pushing than anything in the more recent books, so I suppose that is something.

If you love Jennifer Ashley, I just say beware - this book pretty much sucks.
