I really like these kinds of romance novels. Particularly novels set in Scottland, which was why I bought this book. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to my expectations at all. It was incredibly predictable and I felt, written poorly. So much so, that I stopped reading it mid-way through the book. I almost never, ever do that as most times I want to finish the book to see if it either gets better, or see how it ends. This book also seemed insulting to women in general as it goes on and on about how much the young woman in the story talks; as if women can't help but "blather on about things." I probably won't buy another Kinley MacGregor novel after this. I hate to spend the money and be totally dissatisfied.
