Although I gave high rating to the first three stories I read from Harper Fox, one constant pain in the a** for me to completely enjoy her stories is her writing style. It has always become too wordy, too convoluted, like she wants to cram so many poetic words, it becomes difficult for me to get into it. It's like enjoying the beauty of the sea, but to get to that, I need to swim through a thick puddle of mud. So heavy and exhausting. That is why, after Nine Lights Over Edinburgh, I decide to ju

2012 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention (5* from at least 1 judge)
Well, she did it again. The blurb gives you the plot but once again, Harper Fox wove a tale that drew me in and completely transfixed me until the very last page.

Had me in the first paragraph and then I couldn't put it down.

i enjoyed this book a lot, i have a thing for the brogue so that was icing on the cake. (the cherry would have a been the MC's wearing a kilt every now and then but no book is perfect :P )
on a serious note, this was a really good book. solid, sweet, funny, sad and oh so sexy.

Beautiful love story
This was an amazing gentle slow burning love story. The pain of lost family and loneliness was heartbreaking but love overcomes all
