I'm a great fan of historical books but mostly those set in Scotland. There is something about neanderthal sword wilding skirt wearing men that hits the spot. A great contrast to the attractiong of proper gents of London.Any who... this book was a great start to the series. Everything might hae been laid out in the beginning concerning the love story but i like that the true story was told in such a great way, full of suspsense. Faith irked me, acting like the last virgin that walked the 21st century but i admired her resolve not to be a plaything but come on, that whole string dance of playing hard to get? Why not lay it down right from the start?i loved the fact that Bren's emotions were so palpable and the reason behind the 5 stars. I enjoy books that i can actually taste the emotion of the characters- it's so rarely seen and i commend the author of bring it out, especially in a man. Mostly it's the woman who is all emotional and this was a nice change.the epilogue, hinting to the next book was a great move on the author's part because now i really want to buy!One thing i found a little annoying- when i read it's continuous and it's a little distracting when the POVs change and the story- especially the main character's love story stops being personal if everyone else is commenting and explaining it and we can't see it unfold on it's own through the characters themselves. It sudenly becomes communual property and the reader doesn't feel like the trusted best friend in on their little secret.Great read, great first book of the series and I definitely recommend this book. Can't wait to read Drust's story- i have a feeling there is an emotional ride there i will enjoy
