A storm-tossed cliff in the Scottish Highlands was the last place Blythe Warner expected to find magic. Yet from the moment gorgeous Cameron MacCabe stepped out of the mist to rescue her from certain harm, she was swept away by the sweetest enchantment she'd ever known.
But their impetuous marriage brought the real world crashing in. Cameron was a fourth-generation earl, bound by centuries of tradition; Blythe was an unwed American mother. Though their two hearts beat as one, their lives were oceans apart. Would the bloom of passion fade in the harsh light of reality? Or would love take deeper root and rival the heather on the hill?

Ходить собі головна героїня шотландським берегом, потрапляє в халепу, а тут з туману вибігає місцевий граф і рятує їй життя. Що було робити людям, поженились. Але вона - американська актриса з не дуже вдалою карєрою у мюзиклах, а він - суворий як дуб і приблизно з таким же дитинством і гранітними іграшками, тому шлях до щастя неочевидний, якби це не був любовний роман. Не дуже. В нього здебільшого немає часу і натхнення, в неї розуміння, що коїться, а традиції в шотландській глибинці 1980-х зненацька законсервувались на часі королеви Вікторії (really?). А ще авторка не визначилася, є в головного героя титул чи ні. Засуджую, такі важливі подробиці не прописувати. Але обкладинка гарна, з номерком і назвою серії, і герої на ній вдягнені на скалі сидять, що все-таки наближено до реальності. Залишу собі для колекції.
