In the dark days after the death of Richard the Lionhearted, Gillian is desperate to find her long-lost sister and a treasure of incalculable worth—one for which many already have died, including her own father. The key to resolving her past appears in the form of the handsome Scottish chieftains Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan. In Gillian, Brodick encounters a woman of immeasurable courage and determination, one not at all intimidated by his legendary temper or imposing size. As he realizes that he has met his match in Gillian—whose sense of honor and duty equals his own—their passion for each other grows ever stronger.

El rescate (Ransom)
Oh, crap. Did I really give this 5 stars the first time I read it?
Has this really been sitting on my favorites shelf?!
See? This is why it's dangerous to do rereads.
sigh
So, 5 years ago, I read this and thought it was A-MAZING.
Like, the bestest book evah! And I've been singing its praises ever since.
In fact, when I saw it was on sale a while back, I bought it!
Those of you who know me realize what a big deal that was. For those of you who don't? Let's just say...I'm cheap. Reallyreallyreally cheap!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I guard my money like that shriveled-up hobbit thing from Lord of the Rings.
Anyway, I went into this expecting to feel...
And, instead, I felt more...
I'm not sure what happened here, but, this time around, I thought the dialogue was kinda clunky. Plus, there were several times I had to put it down, because it just wasn't holding my attention the way I had hoped.
And the romance was...WTF?
What the hell was I thinking when I read this originally?!
I sorta wanted to grab hold of my younger self, and ask her a few questions...
I don't mind when guys aren't perfect in romance novels. I like tough guys, snarky guys, even rude guys!
But you've gotta give me some reason to root for them.
This guy?
Ehhhhhhhh.
I'm not saying he was a villainous, horrible person!
Just...I didn't like him very much.
He was a cookie-cutter version of every emotionally retarded hero ever put on paper.
And I was not all that impressed.
I mean, it was still a decent book, and I was entertained enough to finish it, but I was pretty underwhelmed.
Thing is, I had such fond memories of this book! Ugh.
I think it's gonna take me a while to get over the disappointment.
