I have to say that over all I liked this book, but I did find it frustrating at times. I thought that unlike some of the other Highland novels I've read, this one actually gives a lot more back ground information. There is more meat to the story as far as the reasons why the Scott's were rebeling and what kinds of things the English soldiers were doing to the Scottish clans. There was more storyline about different battles and important political people, that I have not seen in any other Highland novels. It really helped to show how hard it would have been for this couple to fall in love and why the Heroine faught the Hero sooooooo much. But on the other hand, that was what was so frustrating about the book, the Heroine Maddie was constantly bucking the hero almost to the end of the book! This is one of those stories where you can really see the damage/ stupidity of prejudice. There were a lot of typo's in this book, but it wasn't to the point were you couldnt tell what was what. Towards the end of the book I felt like the drama was almost too much, like the threat of the Hero's life was just too much and unnecessary.I liked that this book wasn't overly sexually explicit. It wasn't one of those books were every other page is another sex scene. I thought the author was very appropriate in that respect. Again, overall it was a good read, it appealed to my historical interests as well as romantic, and kept me flipping the pages.
