Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-27 00:00:00 Gabriel Calderon The story is entertaining, but the ending is flat. Heroine is a a wealthy widow who practices medicine on the poor. she's called the angel of Inverness due to her successes. She stong and confiedent (not a spitfire who angers easily like many romantic heroine's, so I liked her quite a bit.) The hero is a sea captain who was imprisoned and tortured for a year before he escaped. He's scarred and damaged, physically and mentally. He retreates to an abandoned castle, too affected by his past to be around people. He's surly but in a charming way. The hero's brother hires the heroine to treat the hero's wounds. She travels to the abandoned castle to escape her life for a while. Even though the attraction between hero and herine is mutual and instantanious, the feeling they have are not of the volcanic lust variety poular in the more current novels. Their feel mutual but guarded curiousity. In the process of convincing the hero to let her treat his injuries, they become friends and then lovers. I have to admit that I read the firsst two chapters and wasn't certain if there was enough story to keep me interested. I moved to another book and returned to give this one another try and by the seventh chapter, felt compelled to continue. Spoilers Follow: The story remains somewhat flat. The heroine is accused of murder and thrown into jail. Then she stands trial (actually, a hearing to see if the heroine should stand trial for murdering her husband). Trials are boring since the scenes tend to be a rehash of what we already know. The hero's confession of his own past deeds, in the courtroom, during her hearing, was out of place and not all that helpful to the heroine's case. The antagonist is never punished, nor is his true character exposed. The hero and heroine flee Scotland without clearing the heroine's name. I suppose the eaning is more like real life. But this is fiction and I expected justice to be served and the unjust to be punished. Since this is part of a series, other characters have print time. There's a second romance and visits with characters from previous books. Since I haven't read (or don't remember reading) any other stories in this series, I didn't feel an emotional connection to the other characters. Might be better to read the series in order. Too late for me, but I make that suggestion to others.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-15 00:00:00 John Mordach Mary Gilly, is a healer, and has been studying medicine most of her life. Mary is a widow, and she MacRae and help him with his injuries. Hamish MacRae has suffered torture and is scarred both inside and out, and enjoys his solitude. The last thing that he needs is a interfering brother and a healer, he just wants to be left alone. But Mary is more stubborn than he gave her credit for, and soon tensions rise, passions build and Hamish and Mary can't deny the desire that they feel for each other. Both of them know that they are only together for a few weeks and to make the best of it, but both Mary and Hamish need each other, and not just to make passionate love to each other. And there is a enemy that could tear them apart forever... has been asked to come to Hamish What a fun and sexy highlander romance. I had so much fun with this one. I just adore Karen Ranney and she always delivers amazing stories, and To Love A Scottish Lord is no different. In this installment, we have the fourth book in the series, I have read other books in the series but it has been a long time since I have read a book involving the MacRae's and boy I see I need to get back to this series. The brothers are just awesome together, and I just adored the closeness of the family. The story is mostly centered around Mary and Hamish, and the adventures they have together and them exploring the desire they share for each other. This pair was quite unique, and I loved the element of these two accepting each other and not feeling any reluctance to just enjoy the moment in each other. Most romances you see the whole courting dance before they get to the bedroom, but in this one, that doesn't really happen, it definitely had a different feel to the story and I really liked how this author adds some unique elements that adds a flair to the tale we have here. Overall I had fun with this one, and this author keeps me coming back for more. If you are looking for a fun romance, with sexy playful scenes, a hero to curl you toes, a heroine to delight in, and a tale of passion and a endearing story to keep you aching for more....a rich gem to take to your heart!!
