I received this book as a free download, but to be honest I would never pay $2.99 for so few pages. Maybe if the author added a 100 more pgs I’d pay that price. I read the description before I downloaded my copy, so therefore I knew it was a short story. My rating is based on the quality of the story, which is the point of a review, not its length.Biggest Complaints: The words used are too modern for the era. They would’ve called the woman who cared for injured a healer, not a nurse. Then there’s the reference to his clothes as pants and top. Neither incident really took away from the overall feel of the story. I found it odd that the laird of the clan traveled alone constantly, without guard or other clansmen at his back.Surprisingly the story was pleasant. A sweet story, that deals with a woman’s struggles and fears of being alone after her husband’s death. There wasn’t much character development, but the author did a decent job of transitioning the time. We weren’t weeks into the story, and all of a sudden the heroine is already in love with hero. No, their relationship built slowly over a year’s time. It's really more of a 3.5 stars maybe, but I rounded up.
