I've been meaning to add some of my thoughts to this for ages, and finally find myself with a couple of free minutes :) 
 I LOVED this story. Totally. Having known a few Scotsman, and having been to Scotland a few times (and being in love with the country), I found Samantha really brought the characters to life in a realistic way, through the dialogue particularly. 
 I was drawn into this story emotionally - it resonated with me a great deal for personal reasons - so in all honesty, that's the cherry on the icing for me. It's a great feeling when you find a book that speaks to you, isn't it? :) 
 Witty, charming, humorous, intentionally frustrating at times, smouldering and heart-wrenching, this is a must-read if you love contemporary romances.
