Review: No Hokey, Contrived, or Stupid! Yah!

What an absolutely wonderful story and so well written, imagine a warm-blooded historical romance that breathes with the true humanity of its characters (even the secondary ones) and without plot holes, hokey nonsensical contrivances, playing fast and loose with history, nor WTF stupidities. Were the characters perfect? No, but they spoke and acted like real humans would in those circumstances, and their choices, good and not so hot, were understandable and consistent with their personalities. Minor complains: I could have done without the side story about the hero's bitter cougar aunt, since personally I really didn't like her in the least, which to me presented an unpleasant interruption that I had to impatiently push through until the main story got back on track. Other readers who may have liked her will undoubtedly strongly disagree. I also really hated the cover...it is a good representation of Lachlan, but the girl is sooo not Moira.
