This was a quick and lighthearted read for me.

Caroline Sutton and her two sisters go on a vacation to Scotland. They jump off a falls together and Caroline ends up in another location in Scotland and another time.

She tries to get back to the falls but encounters roadblocks at every turn and starts falling in love with medieval laird.

Callum MacMoran finds Caroline in a lake on the border near a rival clan. At first, he thinks she is one of theirs but she's babbling nonsense so she thinks she might be soft in the head.

The romance was excellent in this book. I really felt the love building.

I am getting ready to read the next book in the series.… (más)

I wasn't sure I liked Isolda at first because she was so cold and haughty. To tell the truth, I didn't like her for most of the book. She just seemed to be so in love with her title of being an English noble woman. I did warm up to her later though.

I liked Ansel who was on a mission from Robert the Bruce to protect the Earl of Lancaster's bastard son from King Edward but he seemed to be the typical alpha male who you find in these novels. He was honorable yet had a problem controlling his lust. I wish authors would stop depicting Scottish Highlanders as slaves to their genitals.

Besides my complaints, it was a good read and I'm interested in the next in the series.… (más)

This was the best book of the series so far. It might be because I have a thing for stoic men with tortured pasts and Finn represents the best of my fantasies.

Finn hates the English, all English. He can barely stomach his friend who married an English woman so when Finn is ordered to go protect an English noblewoman, he is not happy.

He expects a spoiled, haughty English girl but is surprised to discover an easygoing and polite woman who is hardworking and loyal to her family. Rosamond and her family could change his prejudices.

I enjoyed the romance part of the book but the ongoing mystery about the secret group of bounty hunters and assassins is also interesting. The plot and the recurring characters make me want more.… (más)

Sabine was a fun character. Instead of being the perfect little medieval maiden, she was a skilled thief of information and in order to do that she had to be a skilled actress and liar. She has a dangerous job in a dangerous time of war between Scotland and England.

Colin was the typical Scottish warrior who was honorable and loyal to Robert the Bruce. His attraction to an English spy weighed heavily on him.

The first book lacked humor but this book had a little in the beginning with the character of Osborn. I am a sucker for humor.

I am enjoying this series so far.… (más)
