What a fun read! The characters are well portrayed. There are two major romances going on in this story and throw the stern grandfather, Lord Ailsa, into it and you've got a good mix of romance and tall tales of Loch Ness monsters and other beasties. Of course one of the beasties may be Lord Hastings (at least according to Felicity!). Their story is one romance. The other romance is between Felicity's sister (Susan) and Lord Hasting's cousin (Kyle). The sisters are opposite in nature with Susan the shy sister who becomes very clumsy when nervous-and she is plenty nervous around the stern old Lord Ailsa. But love conquers all and she learns to stand on her own two feet winning the respect and love of all her future relatives. Felicity and Jamie (Lord Hastings) have a harder time because each is unsure of how the other feels and Felicity wants to be her own woman. Does it work out in the end? I love how Jamie breaks into a Scottish brogue when he is feeling great emotion. My favorite quote from the book "someday I swear you'll love me as desperately as I love ye!" -- This book was a wonderful afternoon read! Don't miss it.
