Interesting Highland tale.  It was a bit different from the norm.  I can't go into to much detail, because it would give way to much of the story away,  But, I will say that I haven't read anything with this plot before.  The author has a unique voice and I am looking forward to reading more from her.  It was well edited.I liked the heroine, but she seemed to lash out a lot.  Instead of just talking, she got angry.  I became frustrated with her a few times.  But I didIke the way she stood proud for her family.  I'm not sure I could of married the hero, even knowing my parents wanted me to.I'm not a big fan of the hero.  He was an idiot.  He was also very gullible.  Gullible is not a trait I look for in a hero.  He was also an jerk!Heads up...  There was a bit of violence between the hero and heroine in this book.  It really skirted the line of abuse.  I have read a lot of historical romances that show domestic abuse and even rape.  So, I was okay with it.  ( didn't like it, but it didn't offend me.). However, I know some readers hate that.  So I figured I would let you know.  Now I am not saying he beat her or raped her.  I'm just saying that it's a little on the harsh side.I believe this would have been a solid 4 star read, but it seemed to jump around a bit.  There was one spot that really threw me off... *****spoiler*****The heroine ran into the keep crying that she would not marry the hero.  Her mother put her to bed to get some rest, said they would talk later.  The next day her and the hero were fine.  Nothing was ever discussed.  It was like a scene was left out.) *******Over all, it was an interesting read.  I did like it; I just wish that the story was a bit more smooth.  I also wish the hero had been a bit more of a hero.
