received an ARC of this book through Net Galley and boy am I glad I was able to read it. London fairly burns up the pages in this book that you simply can't put down. The action between the Cailean, laird of Arrandale and Daisy, Lady Chatwick is simply sizzling - whether they are battling with words or riding waves of passion. This book pushed every button I have and left me feeling extremely satisfied at the end, though it was impossibly hard to close the book, leaving Cailean and Daisy behind.

I know that there is a wealth of Highland romance novels out there, but I am late to the game and this is among my first (outside of Outlander of course). And while forbidden relationships between Scot and English is a typical trope in romantic fiction, I do think that Julia London brings a breath of fresh air to this theme.

There were so many things to like about this book.

First of all, the atmosphere was palpable. I could feel the mists enveloping the valleys, see the crags and glens, and feel the wind and storms over the nearby loch. Scotland came to life, especially with regard to the treacherous passability of the Highland roads. The scenes that took place in the stronghold castle of the Mackenzie’s were beautifully wrought and I could see that castle and the set-up for the festival clearly in my mind.

I LOVED that the heroine is not a weepy wallflower, but rather a widow who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to explore life in the window of opportunity before she is expected to again marry. She isn’t expected to be inexperienced and learning her way through the world, she has been there before. It was refreshing. I also loved that her young son plays a rather significant role in the novel, not just that of a problem or unexpected surprise. He is actively involved with all the characters and I personally evaluated all Daisy’s suitors based on how they interacted with her son. The connection between her son and Cailean was almost more touching than that of Daisy and her beau. While Daisy has a few suitors, the serious contender is her childhood sweetheart, Robert, who has suddenly returned to the picture, and her infatuation with the Highland laird, Cailean. I was questioning Robert WAY early on – maybe just because I liked her with Cailean, but it was interesting how it played out. There was no typical misunderstanding between Hero and Heroine – they both knew the reality of the situation; Daisy needed to marry someone of English standing for her son, and Cailean was a Scot that would never be a fit – however, I really loved how it all played out. London was certainly able to connect me with the characters because I definitely had a few tears during Daisy’s departure from Scotland, which is unusual for me in a traditional historical romance.

The sexual tension and subsequent sex scenes are hot, and while not complete graphic, they are detailed. The back and forth sparring between Daisy and Cailean was fabulously done and built their relationship even more.

If you have read the first book in this series, Wild Wicked Scot, which I have not, you will be delighted to find a older version of that book’s Hero/Heroine in Cailean’s parents – and they do have a decent role in the novel, as does his brother, Rabbie, who will headline book 3.

In this first book of London’s I very much enjoyed my experience and will be happy to pick up book 3 soon.

A young widow puts her sexy suitors to the test in New York Times bestselling author Julia London's scintillating return to the idyllic Scottish Highlands, tomorrow, February 28th.
Widowed and forced to remarry in three years' time or forfeit her son's inheritance, Daisy Bristol, Lady Chatwick, has plenty of suitors vying for her hand…and her fortune. But a letter from a long-lost love sends Daisy and her young son to her Scottish Highland estate to buy time for his return. Along the way she encounters the powerful Cailean Mackenzie, laird of Arrandale and a notorious smuggler, and she is utterly—though unwillingly—bewitched.
The first book in the Highland Grooms series, WILD WICKED SCOT, was critically acclaimed with three STARRED reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly and Booklist. The second book in this series, SINFUL SCOTTISH LAIRD, which features new lead characters, is a captivating story of a young widow who has three years to re-marry, or risk forfeiting her son’s inheritance. With suitors vying for her hand all over the country, Lady Chatwick is pulled to Scotland where the idyllic highlands and rugged men capture her attention. Set in mid-eighteenth-century Scotland. Fun, fun! Julia London keeps the love and fun coming. Just grab a book, pop it in your bag when you have a sec' to read!

Daisy and Cailean are a such a lovely couple, they are like two peas in a pod and there is times when you wish someone would bang their heads together and see what is in front of them. whereas Robert Spivay is a very old school villain, he is slippery and a bit too smarmy for my liking. He is one of those kind of villains that can be all sweetness and nice in a very malicious way, he definitely has a way of making your skin prickle. Spivay as a grudge against Cailean. He thinks Cailean and all highlanders are braggarts. Untrustworthy. Thirf’s, liars and cheats, he see’s our Cailean as the worst sort, handsome, intelligent and titled, that in Spivey’s book is a terrible combination add that to the fact that Cailean is a notorious smuggler and all Spivey wants to do is make an example of our rugged Laird.
This is a proper Historical Romance, the plot is engaging the characters are – as we have come to expect from Julia – loving, fun and likable. They stick with you long after the last page. This is beautifully written, sexy and atmospheric and highly recommended and a series that I am looking forward to seeing where it is going to go and especially looking foward to seeing what Ms London does with Cailean’s brother; the cocky and piratical Rabbie Mackenzie.

I really enjoyed this story. The attraction between Daisy and Cailean was instantaneous and red hot. The banter between them had me wanting to read more of their story at its conclusion.

Like most stories where the H/H split their loyalties between Scotland and England, there are clashes that occur between the families. On top of that, we have Daisy's first love come back into the picture and he just happens to also have a past with Cailean.

Overall, a very enjoyable read and I can't wait to read, Hard-Hearted Highlander, which features Rabbie Mackenzie whom we met in SSL.

Honest review in return for allowing me this ARC. I didn't find him so sinful. A bit misunderstood perhaps but good story and characters.

Another sizzling book in the series...

I was completely take by Wicked Wild Scot. Ended up reading this back to back. Simply because I wanted- nay needed more. Retrospectively that might have been a disfavor. I think I had such high expectations, they were simply hard to meet.
So everything I read in Sinful Scottish Laird was compared to WWS.
While the first installment boasted a rather different storyline - Sinful Scottish Laird, no so much.
Don't get me wrong. It's interesting and compelling. But it was more cliche than the first book...
The character building is done excellently. The relationship between the characters is beyond interesting and I adore their subtle yet big changes.
The writing style is beautiful. There are wonderful descriptions of the Highlands, that made me want to go back for a visit.

A beautiful, enticing and sizzling novel definitely a must read for lovers of the genre

Sinful Scottish Laird is the second book in the Highland Grooms series. One of the things that I didn't expect is that it takes place more than thirty years after the events of Wild Wicked Scot. Cailean is the first born of the main characters of the first book. This jump in time threw me off at first, but didn't take place from my enjoyment of the story. In fact, I liked this one much more that the first book.

The characters in the book were wonderful. I loved watching Cailean and Daisy fall for each other. Their banter was a lot of fun and really added to the formation of their friendship. I also really loved the scenes with Cailean and Ellis, Daisy's son. Reading about a big brawny Scotsman interact with a small child always hits me right in the heart.

I do recommend this one. It's a quick read because it sucks you right into the story and makes you want to say up late into the night to see if they get their HEA!

Wonderfully addictive, could not put it down. Julia London is one of my go to Authors. I have read all of her Historical Romances, they are all keepers.

This is the second book in the Highland Grooms Series. Cailean is the son of Arran MacKenzie, who is the hero in the first book Hard-Hearted Highlander.

Cailean is a Highlander to his core and wants nothing to do with any Sassenach woman. He learned his lesson when he was a young man in England. All English are treacherous, they have no loyalty. Daisy is a young widow with a son. Her late husband has put her in a difficult situation. She must marry in three years or she will forfeit her son's inheritance.

Daisy decides to leave London to get away from the Fortune Hunters and travel to her late husband's lodge in Scotland. Even before she reaches the lodge she encounters Cailean on the road when her carriage breaks down. She has never seen a real Highlander before. He is tall, rugged, handsome and exuding potent sexuality. Cailean is wary of Daisy, she is beautiful, spirited and most defintely trouble.

So begins a splendid story that you will love. Julia's writing is witty, intelligent, and her verse is smooth and the romance is irresistible. Cailean and Daisy are complex characters that make this book an amazing read.
I highly recommend this book to Historical Romance readers everywhere.

Received a complimentary copy for an honest review.

Another incredibly entertaining book from Julia London. This book is the second in the Highland Grooms series - the story of the oldest son from the first. This book can be a standalone, however, and even has a passage that reviews the first book quite nicely.
This book is well written with great timing, great characters, great side characters, etc., etc. I'm sure you will have a hard time putting it down, as I did. Highly recommended!

I couldn't put this one down :) I loved how Cailean was with the little boy. Their relationship tugged on my heart and I teared up a couple of times. The romance was slow but so dang sweet. Truly and enjoyable read! Cailean is the oldest son from the couple in the first book in the trilogy, the next is about his brother Rabbie. Those darn Jacobites!!

Sinful Scottish Laird is the second in Julia London's Highland Grooms series and tells the story of Laird Cailean Mackenzie and his beautiful, flirtatious neighbour, Daisy Bristol, Lady Chatwick, who has moved into a ramshackle hunting lodge in the Scottish highlands to await the return of a long lost love.
For Daisy, who's been widowed for nearly three years, it is very much lust at first sight when she meets Cailean on a rutted highland road where her carriage has suffered a broken wheel. Cailean is not smitten quite so easily. He's suffered a broken heart once in his life and he's not about to risk another one. Unfortunately for his heart, Daisy and her nine year-old son Ellis somehow worm their way past his defences and he finds himself caring very much indeed.
Julia London's characters come to life very quickly and it wasn't long at all before I was really hoping that something could be done to make it possible for Daisy, Cailean and Ellis to become a family. Of course there were also times when I wanted to knock some sense into Daisy or Cailean or both, because they did feel so real to me.
While the cadence of this story is gentler than that of Wild Wicked Scot, it carries you along beautifully. I found myself waking at four in the morning eager to pick up where I'd left off not many hours earlier. Once again I can say with confidence that this story is a keeper.

You know when you love a certain type of book but you feel like you’ve read all the good ones because everything else of that type that you pick up leaves you meh and tossing it aside unfinished? That’s been me and historical romance for a while. Which was sad because HR is one of my favourite types of romance.

Then this book popped up. I looked at the title, looked at the author, sent up a small wish to the book gods that it would be good and wouldn’t you know it, my prayers were answered! If you’ve ever read a Julia London book, you know to expect great banter, sizzling tension and hot sexy times. Again, lots of HR novels have those, I needed to fall in love with the characters. Daisy and Cailean gave me what I needed. First of all, it was such a joy to read about a woman who embraced her sexual desire. Who wanted to feel passion and yup, just have sex. Obviously, she’s a widow because we couldn’t have a “young miss” in this time period behave this way, but even widowed characters don’t often show the same degree of enjoying their sexuality as Daisy.

Cailean hit all those wonderful hot Scottish Laird tropes but he was also so delightfully unrepentant about so much of himself even while he battled his own issues. The two of them lit up the pages. This is a devour it in one-sitting read.

Thank you to NetGalley and HQN Books for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Sinful Scottish Laird is the second in Julia London's new Highland Grooms series and takes place about 30 years after Wild Wicked Scot. Cailean Mackenzie (eldest son of Arran and Margot) may be set to one day inherit the leadership of the Mackenzie clan, but he seems to enjoy being on his own more than being surrounded by people. He enjoys smuggling French goods with his brothers and building his own home in an isolated glen. His isolation is disturbed when Daisy, Lady Chatwick, comes to the Highland hunting lodge her son has inherited.

Thanks to Daisy's first (older) husband, she can't enjoy being a widow and raising her son, Ellis, alone. Instead of appointing an executor to the estate to handle finances (which Daisy couldn't possible be trusted with, since she's a woman) the will says that if Daisy doesn't remarry in 3 years, she forfeits her son's inheritance. Every fortune hunter in London is thrilled to try to win her hand and Daisy enjoys parties and flirting. But she remains aware that they don't want her, just the money, and wishes she could meet someone who didn't care about the money. A letter from Daisy's first love Rob announces that he will soon be resigning from the Navy and hopes to see her again. To give Rob time to come back to London, and to take a break from the fortune hunters, Daisy packs up the household and goes to Scotland to see her late husband's hunting lodge. Despite the disrepair and isolation of the house and the unfriendliness of her neighbors (until the local fortune hunters hear about the will), Daisy falls in love with the lodge and the Highlands. And eventually, despite the reappearance of Rob, she falls in love with Cailean.

With a few simple descriptions, Julia London brings a little corner of the Highlands to life. Beautiful lochs, glens and rustic homes make the reader feel more comfortable than all the glitz and glamor of a London ballroom. Despite this talent, and despite what the fast-paced and character-driven Scot promised, Laird fails to deliver. The plot is plodding and we almost never see below the surface of the characters. We learn that as a youth Cailean fell in love and proposed to an English beauty, who refused him because he was Scottish. Is that the only reason Cailean is dour and anti-social? This one event, despite being brought up in a loving and large family seems to be enough to turn him off marriage, love, and people altogether. Despite his strong talk about how a Highlander grabs what he wants, he finds it easier to walk away than to grab the love that is offered to him. Daisy's situation seems off from the beginning. If her husband didn't believe she could be trusted to manage the estate for Ellis, why didn't he appoint an executor who would? If marrying preserves the fortune for Ellis, Daisy isn't the one with the money and all the fortune hunters in the world wouldn't be able to access it. Through Daisy's stubbornness in coming to Scotland and repairing the lodge we get glimpses of a strong and stubborn woman. She recognizes that she was nothing but a means to an heir for her first husband and seems to rebel against that realization with flirtations and a somewhat desperate gayness after his death. While Daisy is refreshingly honest with herself about what she wants from life (as well as regarding her desire for physical intimacy), the magnetic chemistry London proved she could write in Scot is nowhere present in Laird. The politics of the time period get brief mentions in terms of smugglers and tension between England and Scotland, but unlike Scot where potential betrayal to the crown helped drive the story and prove the mettle of the characters, in Laird it only seems to offer an excuse for the few faceless Scots we meet to send dirty looks at the Chatwick family. Since the ending of the book mentions that a mere 3 years from the setting of Laird will be 1746 and the Battle of Culloden (and the third book in the series) I would have expected a little more of the England-Scotland tension to be building here.

Overall Sinful Scottish Laird proves to be a slow book where the reader alternates between waiting for something to happen and the book to get moving, and hoping the book is almost over. A disappointing and flat performance from London, who is normally a historical romance powerhouse.

Julia London returns to the Scottish Highlands in the region of Balhaire for Sinful Scottish Laird, the second book in her Highland Grooms series. Like the previous book, Wild Wicked Scot, the story takes place during a time of great unrest, with the Jacobites who are loyal to the deposed Stuart kings still actively trying to topple the Hanoverian monarchy installed just over three decades earlier. Unlike that book, however, the political background here is much more low key, even though there is the ever present discontent among the Highland population at their treatment by the English, especially when it concerns the ridiculously high taxes that are being levied on the basic goods that are needed to survive.

Shortages and high taxation rates naturally encourage the growth of “Free Trade” – smuggling – and Cailean Mackenzie, oldest son and heir of Laird Arran Mackenzie (hero of Wild Wicked Scot) and his brother Aulay frequently cross the seas to France in order to bring in cargoes of necessities as well as the finest French wines and brandies that can be sold at a tidy profit.

When he isn’t engaged in piracy, Cailean spends most of his time at his estate, Arrandale, working upon the house he is building for himself there. A youthful romance-gone-wrong has left him shy of emotional involvement and preferring to keep his relations with women informal and short-lived. At thirty-five, he has decided that love and marriage isn’t for him; he has grown to like his own company and solitary pursuits and is content to leave it to his brothers Aulay and Rabbie to secure the Mackenzie succession.

Daisy Bristol, the widow of Viscount Chatwick, has travelled to the Highlands to hide out at the hunting lodge of Auchenard, which is part of her late husband’s estate and now belongs to her nine-year-old son, Ellis. In his will, the late viscount stipulated that Daisy must marry within three years of his death, or her son’s inheritance will be forfeit – meaning Ellis will inherit the estate, but not the money to support it. Naturally, Daisy is furious; her husband actually told her to her face that he believed she would mismanage their son’s finances, which is why he added that claue to his will AND instructed Bishop Craig to help find Daisy a suitable second husband. Not wishing to subject herself to the control of another man – at least, not straight away - Daisy has put off marrying again for the past two years, but now realises the error of her ways as her time is running out. But then, out of the blue, news reaches her that she thinks will solve her problems. Before her parents made the match with Chatwick, Daisy had fallen in love with a young naval officer, Robert Spivey, but because he was not of her rank, was not allowed to marry him and he went away to sea. But now he has returned, and Daisy hopes that perhaps they can rekindle their romance with a happier outcome this time. But the bishop is eager to arrange a betrothal for her, and because her situation is widely known and there is no shortage of men eager to marry her money, Daisy decides it will be safer for her to get away from London and all those fortune-hunting potential suitors in order to await Rob’s return.

She, her son and their entourage are not far from their destination, when their carriage wheel breaks and they are stuck in the middle of nowhere. A group of riders approaches and offers help, but the English party is suspicious and believes they are about to be set upon – all except Daisy, who keeps a clear head and engages the leader of the men in conversation. Inside, however, she’s anything but calm. The big, handsome Scotsman with the piercing blue eyes stirs her blood and steals her breath, and it’s all she can do to politely send him on his way. But she can’t stop thinking about him, and the strength of her reaction; she’s been a widow for two years, and even when her husband was in good health, she’s never experienced such intense desire.

Over the next days and weeks, Daisy and Cailean encounter each other frequently, and while he is initially grumpy and downright hostile towards her, he gradually begins to admire her spirit and to enjoy spending time with Ellis, a quiet, but friendly boy who, Cailean realises, has had no proper male role model in his life. I liked that it’s Daisy who makes no secret of her admiration of Caliean and her attraction to him, while he’s adamant that he isn’t interested in her flirtation and doesn’t want to be “trifled with” – although as he comes to know her, he certainly does flirt back a little, and shows that beneath his guarded exterior is a man possessed of considerable warmth, charm and humour.

Of course, Cailean eventually discovers that Daisy has laid waste to all the barriers he’d erected around his heart, but there is more separating them than the fact that he’s a Scot and she’s English. It’s true that the English are not looked upon kindly by the Scots – and vice-versa - but there’s also the fact that with Ellis holding an English title, he needs to be educated and brought up in England so that he can make the connections he will need later in life. And complicating things still further, there’s the unexpected appearance in Scotland of Robert Spivey, formerly Captain Spivey of the Royal Navy – and the man who has been trying to apprehend Cailean and Aulay for more than a year.

I confess that I’m not the greatest fan of books with the words Highland or Scot in the title, as many of those I’ve read seem to have recycled the same plots and characters, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this series so far. Sinful Scottish Laird is an extremely readable, character-driven romance in which the relationship between Cailean and Daisy remains front and centre throughout. The obstacles they have to face are very real, and although they are perhaps overcome a little too conveniently by the end, the journey on which the author takes us in order to get there is well put-together and contains moments of poignancy and heartbreak. There is a well-drawn secondary cast, and the background of hardship and political instability against which the tale is set permeates the story without being intrusive or detracting from the main storyline. The romance is lovely, the central characters are likeable, and the writing is infused with warmth and humour, making this a book I’d certainly recommend to others.

reviewed by AAR's Caz

The widowed Lady Chatwick, Daisy, while more than capable of taking care of herself and son, lives in a time where men rule. Upon his deathbed, her late husband, Clive stipulated that she must find a suitable man and remarry within three years of his death, or she forfeits her son’s inheritance, because he felt Daisy (a woman) would be unable to raise their son alone. With less than a year left to remarry and a long line of greedy suitors, Daisy finds hope in a letter from her childhood love that he will be returning to London soon and wishes to marry her.

In an effort to stave off the Bishop and his match-making, Daisy heads to the Scottish Highlands to her late husband’s neglected hunting lodge. As a member of London’s society, Daisy is looked down upon by the Highlanders, although once they hear of her fortune, she finds more suitors at her doorstep. Everyone seems interested in Daisy, except her handsome neighbor, Cairlean, the Laird of Auchenard.

Sinful Scottish Laird is a delightful historical romance that hits all the right notes for me. I love Daisy: a strong, well-educated woman who demands life be lived on her terms. Even though she is still tied to her late-husband’s commands, she takes her time to find a man that will be a good match for both her son and her. I love that she takes life by the reigns and isn’t afraid to play games or speak her mind. She’s not ignorant, but will play the part if it gets her what she wants. Coy and beautiful, she lives life to its fullest during the time she has. She’s not afraid to take risks to be happy.

On the other hand, Cailean has been burned by life and is afraid to take chances. He doesn’t trust outsiders and won’t play Daisy’s games. At first, he seems to be the wrong match for Daisy. Yet the enigma that is Daisy draws in Cailean until he cannot withstand the force of their mutual desire. He begins to see and appreciate Daisy for who she truly is, even if she drives him mad. Yet, he won’t risk his heart, or Daisy’s standing, so he allows himself to continually walk away. It’s heartbreaking, yet makes each “reunion” so passionate.

Although I know very little of the Scottish/English history, the author uses the political atmosphere to create a setting that forces hard choices, making for an exciting read. It enhances the romance by producing a solid conflict that draws the pair apart, despite their attraction and emotions.

In the end, I completely enjoyed getting lost in the Scottish Highlands with Cailean and Daisy. Sinful Scottish Laird is an engrossing, enjoyable read, filled with conflict, desire, and romance. I look forward to taking another tour of the Highlands with the next Highland Grooms title out in May.

My Rating: A- Enjoyed A Lot

I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. It was so refreshing to have a heroine who was not a virgin and wasn't afraid to go after the man she wanted. Daisy is a widow with a son. Her deceased husband made a provision in his will that she had to marry in 3 years in order for her son to inherit. Of course, Daisy wanted to take the opportunity to choose for herself, but time was against her. While visiting her son's land in Scotland, she meets Cailean, her hot Scottish neighbor. Well their journey was at times comical and at others heartbreaking. But the ride was well worth the end result. I thought the ending was a little rushed, but I rally enjoyed the main characters and the supporting cast. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who loves highlanders (I mean who doesn't ) and with a little experience under their belts. Enjoy!

Overall review: 3.5 / 5

This was my first chance to read a book through NetGalley in a long while...and I appreciate that opportunity. As always though, I will give my honest thoughts here.

The story surrounds a young widow, Daisy, escaping to Scotland with her young son - the new Earl due to his father's death. Daisy is a bit disenchanted of love and romance after this marriage, made even worse when she learns a condition of her husband's will was that she marry within a year. After receiving a letter from her childhood love, she takes off for Scotland to try to escape the pressure and in hopes he will return in time.

Englishmen aren't well regarded in Scotland at the time, and Daisy's neighbor, Cailean, is not exactly inclined to be friendly. That, of course, changes over time (otherwise how would we have a hero for our heroine here). What seems like it would have been a simple take of overcoming differences and two people coming together takes on a twist when the childhood love appears in Scotland, and may have ulterior motives.

This is one of the books where the further removed I am from reading it, I find myself thinking about it and enjoying it almost more after the fact than when I was initially reading it. It stuck with me, rolling around in my head for the first few days after I completed the read, and I think that says good things about the story and characters overall.

I found it a bit slow to get started...and maybe that was part of my initial issues. I wanted to like the characters, but instead found myself at times wanting to give them a swift kick. Sometimes a little too much self-inflicted angst maybe, or just too much of a self-imposed sense of duty might be more fair. But either way, they grew on me, the story grew on me, and I eventually got to a point where I couldn't put it down and had to sit and finish it (which of course meant I had to do it late at night so there were no interruptions!). While I can't say this was one of my favorite Julia London books, I do enjoy her characters and how she develops them. She also includes some interesting secondary characters and tells a strong story. Worth the read, and if you find yourself needing to put it down for a bit, be sure to pick it back up and keep going.

Cailean, a Scottish laird meets Daisey, an English widow and both are strongly attracted to each other but try to ignore it. They are thrown together as they are neighbors in the highlands of Scotland where Daisey's son has inherited a hunting lodge. Dailey grows to love the peace and beauty of the highlands but an ex beau comes courting and she must decide what she wants. I was given an ARC copy of this book in return for an unbiased review.

This is a story about a widow trying to find her place in the world after her elderly husband dies and leaves a final request that is appalling in his lack of trust in her character., which is unfortunately correct for the times. This strong woman after being pressured to make a match by the bishop, a friend of her late husband, flees to Scotland to visit the hunting lodge that now belongs to her son. Little does she know that this trip is EXACTLY what she needs and that she finds the one man who sees her for herself and not as a rich purse that will now be theirs. Cailean has been burned by a Sassenach wench and has vowed never to marry and beget heirs. Daisy, Lady Chatwick, intrigues him from the start. He realizes that she is not like other women but still hangs onto the past. An old suitor follows her to Scotland and Cailean realizes that she is the one he wants to spend his life with especially since he cares for her son. I recommend this book to anyone who has read the Outlander Series or just loves Historical Scotland in general. It was enjoyable to read and had everything I wanted, a little bit of romance, a little strife between the main characters and an all encompassing love which they finally realize.
