 Oh how I wish there were more to this series... May 29, 2008
Loved the characters and the story. I was really sad to have it end!
Addictive October 22, 2005
Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down! I got so caught up in the characters that I found myself falling for the people as if I had actually met and knew them. It is wonderful and i truly adore the Scottish accents!

Perhaps my opinion of this book is affected because I read it immediately after reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, but this book was kind of a joke! I guess I am used to heavy details, realism, lushly written and complex characters. The author seemed so monotone and the language was just so skeletal. It seemed like a blow by blow account with not much feeling. I really didn't "worry" about the characters that much and the villain - well, he just seemed villainous because - he felt like it??? It would have been much more intriguing if the mother was behind it and sent David out to kill James or something (seeing as how odd her behavior was at James and Ellen's relationship). That said, the love story was very sweet and this book was a breeze to read. Fun and light.
A fun adventure! June 1, 2004

I picked up this book on a whim, after having not read a romance novel in over five years. What a way to be brought back in! I can honestly say this book is the reason I've read five romance novels in the past three days. I blame the author! (In a good way.)I'll just start with the observation that there was a great balance in this story--the obstacles are well-written and uncomplicated. Ellen has her mission (save her cousin) and Jamie has his (prepare his brother's clan for a possible war.) The way Givens intertwines the two characters and their pasts was well done and made for a fast read. I was sorry when it was over. The secondary cast is strong as well, and not the typical "best-guy-friend-who-likes-the-heroine-and-provides-her-with-wisdom-and-affection."
Neil isn't easily won over by Ellen, and neither is their cousin, Duncan. It was a nice change and a bit more believable. One observation I had, and it's neither good nor bad, was that the author attempted to write the Scottish burr into her characters, especially Neil and Jamie, and I was appreciative. It's just a little detail that didn't go unoticed. I've already ordered the sequel, "The Destiny," to see what happens to Jamie's brother, Neil and his bride. Can't wait!
 Dragged on forever! January 11, 2004

This book is terrible... I don't understand how it got such great ratings. The characters were not well-developed and their romance lacked credibility. Even the name of the hero seemed ripped off from another novel. I was so annoyed reading this I didn't even finish. This book put me to sleep! If you want true historical romances, read Diana Gabaldon's Outlander. Now THAT's a real romance.
