The Highland Lord

Rating:
Summary: Nothing like a good Scottish "fling" to warm the heart!
Review: This book was a pleasant way to pass the evening. The hero and heroine were likable, and the author spent some time sketching out why they were attracted to each other, beyond physical appearance. It may stretch credulity a bit to think that the heroine, who is a London member of the ton, will so easily give up her former glamorous life to live in the wilds of Scotland, but all in all, the story still worked. There was a nice secondary romance between the heroine's cousin, and the hero's sister, as well. There was enough historical background to help explain the problems of a relationship between an English woman and a proud highland lord, but not so much to be overwhelming. The only thing that kept this from being a five was that the plot was a bit too simple. It would have been nice to have a bit more excitement in it. As it is, though, it is going on my keeper shelf, to be re-read as a "comfort" read during some long winter night!
