I usually enjoy Karen Ranney's Scottish novels but this one is terrible...way too predictable and boring. Grant needs an heir and sight-unseen chooses the doctors daughter, Arabella. He has absolutely no intention of having a real relationship with her just a sexual one to beget heirs...asshole. But it is a good thing as Arabella wants nothing to do with him either (or any man for that matter). She's too absorbed in medical learning and has no interest in feminine pursuits or manners. Her companion, Gillian, however, is a wild child and immediately falls for Grant though to her credit, she does try to resist. Grant, of course, wants her too but with none of the complications of marriage. Yada yada yada. Next!
