Review: Second verse, same as the first...

Vonda Sinclair was a new author for me.  I'm feeling very Highlander-ish lately for some reason and after Mary McCall's (NOT Mary REED McCall) and Maya Banks' Highlander books, I wanted something else with that same Scottish flair. I thought the first book was OK. However, I'm afraid that this author may be in a rut. The story line is basically the same as the first book. Boy meets girl.  Girl thinks it can never work.  Boy pursues girl.  Bad guy is after the girl. Girl takes an inordinate amount of time to see what everyone else knows - that the boy is amazing and actually loves her.  Girl still fights the relationship until you want to smack some sense into her. Deadly battle where everyone of significance in the plot survives. Girl finally comes to her senses. Conflict is wrapped up lickity-split and tied with a red bow. The end. I'm really hoping that the third installment has a little more variation and that the main female character isn't so amazingly dim witted and slow in opening her eyes to see what's right in front of her. If not, I don't know if I can stomach another copycat sequel.  If you want some quality Highlander action, start with Mary McCall'sHighland Treasureinstead.
