Review: Ok read, not great

The second in the series, Highland Pull was a disappointment for me. I've read other books by Ms. Harner and enjoyed them a lot - "Ty Hard" was smoking hot, her "Three's Allowed" series were great, and I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel to "Continental Divide". That being said, since I know she's a good writer, her Highland books were a let down. The first in the series, "Highland Shift" was decent, although the plot went a little weird at the end. The second book, "Highland Pull" takes the weird left turn from the books and runs with it, splitting off into many directions. Hopefully if there are future installments she pulls them back into a cohesive story.However, I could even forgive the plot weirdness and give this a four star rating - except for the grammar and spelling errors. In both books, every single time a family name is referred to in the plural, an apostrophe is used. (Worthington's instead of Worthingtons) This is frustrating to read and pulls me out of the story every time. Since the books refer to family names constantly, it got old fast. Then in the second half of "Highland Pull" there's missing words and wrong homonyms on top of the bad punctuation, I nearly put the book down and didn't finish.Finally, the sex scenes. This book straddles the line between fantasy story and flat-out erotica, tipping towards the erotica side. After repeated bouts of nearly unbelievable sex that started getting repetitive, I ended up just skimming the sex scenes to see how the story ended, which also ended up frustrating me.Recommend to others? Not sure. The storyline had too many elements of KM Moning's Highlander/Fever series, so I'd probably recommend those instead if someone's looking for a Highlander fantasy. I did like the author's other books, so I'd recommend reading them if you really want to read this author.
