Highland Dream

Summary: Well I finished it at least
Review: This book was a quick read, at times I was tempted to groan aloud at the main character Jix. Other times I was entertained, all in all though this book was silly, as far as time travel and romance novels go this one was definately cliche. Woman meets man, woman falls in love with man, woman finds reason to deny love, woman overcomes reason and admits her love. Throw in a trip through time and a best friend and it seems to be a good story but I found it to be not what it could be. The story has no realism and it mainly focuses around the relationship between Jix and Jamie. If your looking for just "love" and no plot really than this is a good book, personally I like to see what people do in the past and how they manage to acclimate to their surroundings and this story just makes it too easy and the people who live in this time have no problem accepting them. There is always a beautiful dress just waiting for Jix and no one thinks anything of her rendition of the song "I will survive" as she dances to it like a stripper. This book was fluff and had no substance, with a premise like this you can do so much more and I am afraid the author didn't do her homework well enough. I couldn't connect with the characters or believe that people like them could even exist. A fast read with some entertaining spots but for the most part an underdeveloped story that could have been better.

Summary: Good but not as good as I had hoped.
Review: When I first read the back of this book I thought "wow this sounds like a great book." I even thought that in the beginning because it starts off with a lot of humor and I thought the heroine and hero were going to be great adversaries for a while and then finally admit thier love for each other. That didn't happen. I liked the Hero, Jamie, but I found Jix, who is the supposedly impish heroine, a bore most of the time. I actually found the secondary characters of Griffin and Sam were more interesting. It was a good book but it didn't live up to its potential.
