After reading your post on the morality of snark, I think you found a great balance in this review. I’m personally allergic to reading brogue, it makes me vomit, lol. But my Co-Blogger Wanderer, who lives for the Higlander Romance; also felt this release was fluff.

Marsha,

Yes, they call those books “crack”, irresistable, but not necessarily good for you. I think we all have our “crack” romances!

Jennifer,

Based on your view of my blog, I’m going to assume that your interest in what else I write is purely rhetorical. Thank you for visiting.

I love Karen and all her books. Your review was not funny, and I wonder what you write besides this silly blog.

Oh, Moning’s crazy Highland warriors. They sure know how to have a good time, those nutty kids, what with the faeries, sorcerers, modern women popping round and all.

I read this one in a frenzy of page turning, knowing all the while how…not good it was but I just couldn’t stop. I really, really needed to find out what happened to Hawk and Ms. I-Hate-Beautiful-Men. In the end I walked away entertained – not an unpleasant way to spend a few hours, I suppose.

LOL Great review, Jessica! I actually have a few of KMM’s Highlander novels on my TBR pile (including this one) and after this review, I seriously have to move them up just to find out what I’m missing!

By the end, I honestly did feel a kind of affection for these one dimensional and incredibly stupid people. -Jessica

This often happens to me as well, and for the life of me, I just can’t put my finger on why. Maybe I’m just too easy to please/entertain? ::shrug::

Jessica~ You did it right, it’s my fault. I saw the Do You Review button & the cover shot & thought I’d read it already (but couldn’t remember, which is why I started the blog. lol). SO I looked it up & posted my link and then read your review.No offense intended. Maybe I should look before I leap.

Pittsburgh Upon the Sea! ROTFL :0

And, do you know, it was always referred to as Dalkeith-Upon-The-Sea, just like the heroine’s ex was always referred to as “Eberhard Darrow Garret”.

Still, Pittsburgh-on-the-sea has a nice ring to it!

It got me (not in a good way) at "Laird of Dalkeith-Upon-the-Sea." As far as I'm concerned, there's only one Dalkeith and it's this one. It is not "on the sea." I suppose this would be the equivalent of someone Scottish writing a romance in which the Scottish heroine time-travelled back to Pittsburgh-Upon-the-Sea.

Welcome Bookwormom. Thank you for visiting! I believe I already linked to your review. Did I not do it right? I am still verra new at this.

As for grades, I don’t do it at all. Reminds me too much of work!

Kristie and Ana — Glad I could give you a laugh. I just could not write this review any other way no matter how I tried.
