I have heard about this book for such a long time now and I CANNOT believe it took me this long to finally read it—because WOW was it fantastic!! Definitely one of my new top favorite romances.

I love all things Scottish so I liked this book because it was based in Scotland. However, it is definitely not Jennifer Ashley's best book. Lord Ian really is mad not just quirky or odd but flat out mad. I doubt they had diagnosed autism back them but that is what I deduced from Ian's behavior. Might have had a little bit of Tourette's Syndrome too. He didn't burst out with curses but just inappropriate things at weird times. Regardless of his eccentricities, I liked Ian and his three brothers. ...more

What a fun historical novel! This story was full of wonderful moments...a good mystery...and a unique hero! I have to say, Lord Ian’s “madness” was portrayed beautifully! Of course, he isn’t mad at all, simply a man on the spectrum that didn’t exist at this point in time. Beth was a fun character, as well. They had an interesting relationship and I liked how Beth grew to understand Ian over time...better than his brothers in many respects. Can’t wait to see what kind of mischief awaits the other ...more
