Review: Anachronistic but fun romance

The romance genre isn't normally my thing. However, after a particularly rough week, I needed an escapist read with a guaranteed happy ending. Eyes of the Cat delivered.The story includes many of the staples of romantic plots: traditional Scottish clansmen, cowboys, Indians, fabulous horses, Texas rangers, villains, card sharks, scientists, manly men, plucky orphaned girls who don't realize they need a manly man, and something that might be a ghost. Fitting all these elements into one book requires a bit of creative  juxtapositioning.  An adobe castle, complete with dungeon, in Texas?  Seriously? But it's all in good fun.  Bodices get ripped, family secrets come spilling out, and hero beds heroine.  I wouldn't want a steady diet of cotton candy, but sometimes a bit of sugary fluff hits the spot.
