How does this compare to the Outlander books? I really loved the first two of that series but the 4th really turned me off. I stumbled across this by chance on here and am intrigued.

The story wasn't bad, but all the seemingly unnecessary and descriptive sex on every page got very tiresome to me. In this one Donati allows the reader's imagination to fill in the blanks more about Boots and Nathaniel's encounters. There are several scenes where they are having sex, but it's not in your face long drawn out and descriptive, it's a more mysterious, let your mind fill in the blanks kind of love making that I enjoy. I don't like reading sex scenes like they're rape scenes, which is the feeling I got reading Outlander. This one was so much better than Outlander for me and Sara Donati is the queen of family saga historical fiction in my book. Just my opinion. (less)
