I so wanted to like this book because I thoroughly enjoy the time period, setting, etc.. However, the old adage, you get what you pay for definitely rings true-it was a freebie. I couldn't get past 11%. Struggling to see if it got any better, I got to the first sex scene, notice I didn't say love, and the dialogue ended it for me. Too modern, not Scottish enough. An historical romance should be able to stand on its own without a generous sprinkling of the "f" word.I see from the reviews that after I purchased it, an actual editor was used. The fact it was put out for the public before the editing nightmare that I began reading completely turned me off. I did give it an extra star for the beautiful cover.
