While this book didn't blow me away, it did have all of the elements that I tend to like in a Highlander romance. I love those that are rich in Scottish history...obviously loosely based on real events, with an author's historical note. But the history and politics didn't at all override the roman...

The characters didn't really move me. I almost quit reading in the beginning but it finally picked up.

Oh. My. Goodness... What an incredible book! I had this devoured! - I read until I couldn't read anymore and then got up at the crack of dawn and read it until I finished.Like most women out there, I love Scottish historical romance novels. The kilts, the sexy accents, the strong warrior type - an...

I really need to get something out first: the cover? Not a fan. Really. This cover makes me thankful for e-readers. Anyway, onto the book itself. The story centers around Sìleas and Ian, who have known each other since they were little. Due to an unfortunate event and huge overreacting by Ian's fath...
