This is a book I can read over and over again. Emily and Jamie get off on the wrong foot after a misunderstanding. All they can do is argue and fight, but you can see their interest for each other building. I love how the story is told from both Jamie and Emily's perspectives. Just when you're wondering what the other person is thinking it changes to their point of view.

Highlander Jaime MacLaughlin is a talented leathersmith unafraid of hard work or a little dirt. When he meets his cousin Laird Ewan's half sister Emily, a fragile looking society blossom, the two take such an instant dislike to one another it is obvious they must be star-crossed. The English lass tames the savage Scot as he develops dining room manners and learns to waltz, and her pretenses and prejudices are replaced by vigor and health. A disaster in the community makes them pull together, whi

I liked this, but didn't love it. Emily was actually a little annoying to me. She kind of came across like a snob and Jamie wasnt much better. I liked the plot and the story moved along nicely. I guess the thing I didnt like about it was the fact that the were dogging on England and the current customs quite a bit. Its understandable considering the timeframe, but I just thought it was a little overdone. Overall, I thought it was a cute story and would recommend to anyone that likes a clean rege

My daughter asked me to read this, since she didn't have time to get through her library stack before they came due. Having just read through the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, I can say that this reads like a teen's version of that in the beginning...many similarities between character descriptions, etc, down to the protagonist being named Jamie. Once the book gets underway, however, it does take on its own plot and relationship lines. A typical historical romance for teens, but it did hol

I started reading the Avon Young Adult Romance series because Meg Cabot wrote two that seemed pretty Jane Austen inspired and were really enjoyable. This one was not by Cabot but it was culturally similar in the beginning and I really enjoyed it. The protagonists have a love hate relationship and after different conflicts like the nearby village almost burning down they work out they realize that they actually like each other. Nice relationship development.

I did very much enjoy this read. There were a lot that I did love about the book such as the Scottish setting, the argumentative love that was spurred between Jamie and Emily, and the dilemmas that they had to face. There was numerous love towards Emily and the Scot.

I thought this was a cute book. I love the chemestry between Emily and Jamie, I thought it was great to see two different people from two different "worlds" and who bring out the best in each other.

Ahh...
