The Highlander's Bride

I was loving the first part of the book and could not put it down. Unfortunately the book went south from there on. I had difficulty finishing the book. And shipped over several parts. I went from loving to truly disliking the female character. Her pride was over the top and made her hero look like a wimp not a strong Laird. Parts of the book such as the birth and the face off of the villains were skimmed over , while Laurals extremely unreasonable trantrums where too lengthy. Truly disappointing

The prose were pedestrian and lacked any subtlety. The story line was standard and could have worked if the author had done sufficient research into the sensibilities of lairds of that time period. She often used modern ideals to promote the plot, rather than historically timely ideals. Additionally, every thought of every character was overtly described, this made me feel like I was a dimwit in need of simplistic explainations.

I'm new to ebooks and wanted to buy something on sale to test it out. Boy, was I not disappointed! This was a great read! Sure, their passion for each other was super quick to ignite, but sometimes that really is the way it goes. It's a lovely story and I appreciate the love of passion by the supporting characters, whether the passion be positive or negative. It's always wonderful to read a story about a strong-willed heroine and her partner who accepts her for all she is!
