I read this book in one night and thought it was very enjoyable. I was drawn into the story immediately and found it to be very detailed, but not too much to make it annoying. I could picture the setting of each location perfectly in my mind.Brenna was such a likable character. I felt so bad for all the sorrow she had gone through and wanted to see things turn around for her. Ethan on the other hand I didn't like much at the beginning and at the end of the story I liked him even less. However, I really liked Ethan's brother, Gabriel, and his sister, Eliza.I thought that some parts of the story seemed a bit of a stretch, like when Brenna leaves Scotland to go to America. I can't believe that she would go all that way by herself when she obviously had enough money to have hired a traveling companion. Women in those days seemed to take great care to keep their reputations unsoiled and by traveling alone, that more than likely would have happened - regardless of whether anything happened to her or not.For people who are easily offended by cursing, I want to make sure that they know that this book does have some of that in it. I personally don't care for books that have too much of it - I honestly prefer that there be none, but I can understand it being used if it is in context, not just thrown in every other sentence. This book only seemed to use it once in a while, which to me was okay - not the greatest but I can tolerate that.Towards the end, the story seemed very rushed and a bit chaotic. Even so, I still want to read the next book in the series, especially since it is about Gabriel. I would recommend Gallagher's Pride, but only to those who don't mind a bit of mild language in the books they read.***I received a complimentary copy of this book to review. I was asked to give my honest opinion of it - which I have done.***
