A Question of Trust
Philippa has returned to Glen Maraich, and with her little cottage and her friends, she is perfectly content. The last thing on her mind is a new romance, but when a stranger comes to the glen, she finds herself strongly attracted to him. Jon is a prickly character, and causes suspicion in the close-knit Highland community. But the unlikely couple find they have more in common than it would appear, and they proceed cautiously towards love. However, a series of misunderstandings threatens to ruin the relationship, and these two wounded people must learn to trust each other.

BLECH. Couldn't finish this one. Such an unlikable hero and heroine.
What happened, Raife? You used to be so good :(

Eine Achterbahn der Gefühle übermannen einen beim Lesen dieser herzergreifenden und Nerven aufreibenden Geschichte. Kein typischer Liebesroman und somit absolut eine Leseempfehlung ❤️

This book is well-written, as I expect with this author. The main setting, in Scotland, is nicely portrayed too. The main characters are well-drawn and believable for the most part, though I liked the kind, open-hearted Philippa a great deal more than I liked the angry, jealous and impetuous Jon.
The plot itself is somewhat predictable. Attractive girl, hunky but bad-tempered guy, lots of conflict and misunderstandings... the first time I read it, I felt that some of the scenarios felt rather contrived, but I didn't feel that on re-reading thirteen years later. Instead I was a bit irritated by the continual switching of viewpoint, even within one scene sometimes.
There are quite a number of minor characters, some of whom had appeared in previous books by this author. I had forgotten who some of them were, but it didn't particularly matter. Each book stands alone.
A pleasant read overall, which I found quite difficult to put down once I was about half way through, but not one of my favourite Raife novels. Three and a half stars would be fairer.
