As I sit here trying to write this review, I'm finding it hard to put my thoughts into words.  I was excited to have a chance to read and review Taming a Highland Devil.  I saw Kimberly promoting it on Facebook and wanted to read it as I'm a huge fan of medieval and highlander stories.  But this book fell a little short of my high expectations.The story was much shorter than I anticipated and I was finished in about an hour and half.  The plot was solid, but could have used a little more meat.  I kept wanting something else, some action (outside the bedroom), something significant to come between Magnus and Effie.  The time setting could've been used to better effect.  In fact, outside of the fact that we're told in the beginning that it's medieval Scotland, the book really could've been set at anytime in history.But my biggest problem with the book is hard to explain without spoiling the story.  In the last handful of pages, there's a huge twist, which resolved some conflict and it's an "a-ha" moment.  But it also disturbed me to the point that what was a good, albeit slightly lacking story, went to just ok.I was let down with this novella.  It had promise but perhaps my bar was set too high.Warning:  There is a menage with some f/f action.
