I read Highlander Most Wanted before I picked this one up so I knew the story going into this one. It was still a good read but I felt it was a tad too long. 
 Eveline has been forced to pretend she is "touched" after an accident to protect herself from a terrible marriage. The helplessness she feels is explained well and makes one feel for her situation. 
 Her marriage to Graeme changes her bringing out the bold fearless lass that she is. I felt the story focused more on Eveline and Graeme. 
 Again it is a little odd to see such flowery language from a warrior Scott. What I especially liked about both the books in the series was that the heroines were not perfect and had some physical abnormalities which influenced their personalities just like regular women.
