It was cute and I really liked Adam. ( )

This novella is a must read before you go to ‘Plaid Tidings’ (Spirit of the Highlands). I am so glad I read it in order because it explains a lot about the curse that is put on the people of Bonniebroch.

I love anything with a setting in Scotland, so this was just a perfect story to take me there.

Ms. Marlowe sure did a great job of painting the picture of the sixteenth century Scotland with all its political turmoil of young King James V.

I fell in love with Adam Cameron, laird of Bonniebroch, and his intended, Cait Grant, and went through her personal agony right along with her as she makes her choices. I also fell in love with a secondary character of Farquhar, and I must say Ms. Marlowe threw me a curve ball with that character.

This novella has a little bit of everything in it. A bit of magic, romance, good guys, bad guys and a most awesome hero you’ll find in the sixteenth century. Great read and very entertaining.

Finished it. Not bad, sexy, light and fun with realistic details. I finished it in about two hours. I give it 3 stars, which is great for a novella.
Some fantastic lines- one favorite, pearls where just given as a gift
.." My old tutor taught me that a pearl is formed because something has irritated the oyster, a grain of sand perhaps, or some other bit of flotsam, and over time the oyster coats nacre around this irritant until it's too smooth to bother it's host.In the process, iy becomes too beautiful to hide away in an oyster.
it occurs to me that we're a bit like a pearl, you and me. We started by irritating each other but will, I believe, over time be left with a thing of beauty shimmering between us......"

I loved that.-sigh ( )
