I also enjoyed her antagonistic relationship with Thorne, in that he tried to push her and she didn't move. ( ) The Scot Beds His Wife 3 Stars Unfortunately, this one falls short in the romance department. While Sam and Gavin have excellent banter and her ability to stand up to his domineering attitude is entertaining, their romance contains several problematic tropes that diminished my enjoyment of the book. To begin with, Sam's masquerade requires a great deal of suspension of disbelief and her actions, while understandable given the circumstances, portray her as deceitful and manipulative. The fact that she The secondary storylines in the book are much more satisfying. Whether it be the sweetness of Eleanor and Eammon's long denied love or the intrigue surrounding Callum's self-imposed isolation or the developments in Liam and Gavin's relationship, they more than make up for the lackluster primary plot. Overall, not the best installment, but Byrne's writing is excellent and her hints at Rook's mysterious past make me eager to read his book. I dislike the trope of huge secrets kept for too long, so this is probably a 2.5 rounded up to 3. 2nd read- I think perhaps I enjoyed this more as a reread. I still disliked all the same things, but already knowing about them going in helped me come to terms with them somewhat. There's sort of a ridiculous amount of cursing in this one, I'm not even offended by curses, but whereas the other books in the series have a smattering, these are laid on eye-rolling thick. They lose whatever weight they might have carried otherwise. It's like Byrne had a swear jar but instead of having to pay in, she was given money per curse. =D One aspect I did enjoy was the hero's development after he starts to have feelings for her. Up to that point he's super full of himself and not appealing to me, but it was fun to watch him start to creep out of his shell of protection from feelings. ***ARC Review Received from St Martins Press & Netgalley*** This was a fun book to read. I love highlanders and brooding highlander who know what they want. Gavin has always wanted Samantha and when she falls into his lap he wants her. This was a fun book that fun to read. The two main characters are enjoyable to read about and their journey was exciting to follow. This author knows how to do historical romance well. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
