Review: Clumsy Storytelling

This story starts as Ramsey Munro, a Highland laird, is returning to England to meet with the Earl of Monteford, a man who took Ramsey and his brothers in when they were young boys and their father had been murdered. We are given to believe that Ramsey was in love with Montefords niece, Sabrina, and that she returned his love. Ramsey, however, had not pursued a relationship because he knew that he would some day have to return to his clan and avenge his father's death.When they first see each other upon his return, I didn't sense any sparks between the two. Sure, the author said they cared about each other, but I just didn't feel it at all. In fact, when they do come together, he's pretty crude and treats her in a way that I thought was rather disrespectful. For her part, I thought Sabrina was annoying and immature.On the whole, the story seems like jumbled pieces which might have worked if it weren't so sorely lacking in character development. Likewise, a few "doona"s and a "laird" here and there just aren't enough for me to make this worthy of the description "Highlander romance."
