5 Stars
After four back to back recommendations, I had to read this book sooner than later, and what a joy it was!
This is it. Bags packed, passport located, tickets booked, for I am going to Scotland. I have to buy my husband a kilt and teach him how to behave like a JG Highland Laird. I cannot believe that he lived in Scotland and does not own a kilt or a plaid! What good is he?
I don't know how she does it, but Ms Garwood makes us swoon for these craggy, high-handed highlanders, and she makes the female spirit sing with her quirky steel-spined English lasses. And the romance just makes me squirm with delight!
Highlights...
- A surprisingly complicated plot
- Brodick
- Gillian
- "You know what?" "No, what?" "Alec" (If you read it, you will get it)
- The pretty little side love story (I demand a separate Ramsey book btw)
My Recommendation
You can never go wrong with Garwood's Highland romances!

He puffed up with importance.
"I'm Iain Maitland's son.�
Alford, you be dead now!"

Glad you like it 😀 I'll be curious if you have a favorite yet
I don’t remember what happened in this book but I must have enjoyed it (given my 3-star rating). I should reread one day. I was actually worried you weren’t going to enjoy this book but I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

I was actually worried you weren’t going to enjoy this book but I’m so glad..."Frankly, even I thought I was not going to like it considering the first few chapters were an uphill battle with a plethora of characters that made no sense to me, but then it narrowed down and started making sense. Also, the burden of expectation of liking it due to the multitude of recommendations was a smidge tough, but I persevered...The bottom line though, it was a good book, a little long, but a workable JG recipe...
