1765 Scottland and some London.

Interesting. It's the third in a series, but the first I've read. A little background (the first two) would've been nice, but not necessary for the story-line to flow.
It's a bit different than typical historical romances as the hero is disfigured and the heroine is a former mistress. While their personalities were likable, I thought it hard to get past their background in relation to the time period. So saying, the interaction between the characters is excellent. There are also 2 children intertwined throughout the story and the dialogue between all four flows nicely, and the relationships do tend to develop and strengthen throughout. There was also a secondary story (the italics at the beginning of each chapter) which was "fairy-tale" like that I enjoyed.
I will probably try to read one of the prior books in this series to see if it changes my thoughts.
