Review: Plenty of Poorly Written Sex, and Not Much Else
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 01 6, 2013
In this book, a gorgeous and horny guy meets a gorgeous and horny girl; an hour or so later, they are in bed; after the second round of sex, they both admit to themselves that it must be love; and three weeks later, they are engaged. What? How? Why? What?! They haven't even had a conversation yet, unless you consider grunting, moaning, and dirty talking a conversation. They are both supposed to be responsible adults, professional and successful, yet they behave like silly teenagers controlled by raging hormones, going for it on every surface in the house and out of it. Aren't they sore? Are they human? Don't they want to stop for a minute and go for a walk, or out to eat, or anything?The writing is stiff; the storyline is so thin that it is practically nonexistent, and the descriptions are poor and few and far between. I couldn't even visualize the characters, let alone connect with them. I didn't care at all if Ailsa and Colin lived or died; in fact, I may have been happier with the latter. We are told that the story takes place in Scotland, but it can be on Mars for all we know. It is such a pity, too. Scotland is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, but we cannot see any of it. Actually, we are shown a very little of anything:  this book is just one unoriginal and poorly written sex scene after another, and there is not much in-between information.I enjoy erotic novels and have read plenty of them. They make me feel alive and sexy. This book kept me uninterested and left me cold. While reading Hot Highland Fling, the one and only thing I anticipated was for the book to end. I couldn't wait to put it down, and I checked my progress after every press of the next-page button.Even though this book was free, I've read some really good free books. This is not one of them. Keep looking.
