Giving this 4.5 stars 
 I'm not much of a fan of romance novels, but I started reading this way back in highschool and somehow never got to finish it (had to return it to the library and then it was always checked out). nevertheless what I definitely am a fan of is Scottish history...and especially the time of the Jacobite uprising. Also, two of my best friends (who are huge fans of the series) and I have visited Scotland recently and they kept talking about it...and told me the main character is a nurse interested in botany (I'm a med student who loves learning about the medical properties of plants and herbs)so all these things have caused me to become motivated once more to read this. 
 I am very happy I did. The novel is very well written. The plot intriguing and interesting (time travel, Scottish uprisings (though this one was set slightly before Prince Charles Stuart arrived in Scotland, kidnappings, romance, fights, ect.) and the characters are simply awesome! 
 Going to recommend this to any of my friends who have not read it yet :)
