Review: Love without regrets
Rating: 4 out of 5

Emmy, the heroine, finds the love of her life and must decide if she can love without regrets, which is really a profound statement and request of us all in our love life and life in general. I wasn't completely taken with the characters till probably more than half way through the book: I think they simply grew on me.  I did find the author's handling of the time travel initially to be annoying simplified as I found Emmy far too quickly surmises she has transported back 150 years and doesn't even run out the door of the castle to check her environment to verify the time difference.  Sorry, if you push me back 150 years I might be roaming around a bit to check my facts not just relying on two dudes I'd never met before, but hey -- that's me.  I made a decision to put aside my problem with that and settle into the book and by the end it had me crying as Emmy sorted out her heart. I could say more, but if I said more it would spoil things and I detest when reviewers do that.  I see a # of comments from 2011 and back who have lots of criticism for the grammar and perhaps my mind corrected the problems, or I read enough by fledgingly authors to just accomodate that, but I only noticed a few things here and there and nothing that caused me to stumble at all and they were few. I like that the author wrote the dialogue with the brogue, as many writers now don't do that and I'm sorry I love the highlander themes and one of their sexy qualities is the brogue and thus I like to read it.  Oh rather a long review, but this book exceeded my expectations pleasantly and I will be checking out more of this author's work.
