Review: Good story despite editing errors

The concept was a bit different, laird and servant, so I was anxious to give it a try. The author managed to write about a traumatic event, and the aftermath for the victim, in a very believable way.She wrote of depression and I found it very interesting that Bridie suffered the same way her  mother did. That's not something commonly seen in romance novels about 13th century Scotland.The laird was an excellent hero. Kind, patient, yet a brutal warrior when necessary. His 'teaching' Bridie about romance was unexpected. I'd be curious to know if a laird would do the things in the same manner as this one did.I wish it would have had more descriptions. What did the laird look like, what was McClelland castle like, that sort of thing.Finally, I have to address the editing issue. For someone to read this book and not notice the obvious misspellings and missing punctuation makes me wonder if we read the same book. Due to poor sentence structure, there were numerous times that I had to read a sentence more than once to figure out what was trying to be said. I'm not referring to the Scottish brogue sprinkled here and there. If there were only a few errors, I could overlook it but there were too many not to mention it.With that said, I would still recommend this book but make sure the reader knew there were a number of editing problems.
