Helpful Score: 2
The characters were very well written. I enjoyed reading about every character. I liked the romance between Isobel and Jack. Isobel displayed the right amount of resistance just before she gave in to Jacks seduction. Jack was protective and gentle from the start, and I like that the author gave a peek into his thought processes. The passion between them was blazing hot. I enjoy this book a lot. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Realistic romance, mysterious family legend; what's not to like? After some trepidation, Isobel and Jack made an seemingly impossible situation work for them. A marriage of convenience turned into a loving, respectful, and sexy relationship. The way they navigated various challenges as they learned about one another only made Isobel and Jack thoroughly likable. I enjoyed watching their feelings gradually develop into affection and ultimately love. It was not their nature to play emotional games, but they did have to deal with suspicious motives and Jack's past. Solving the mysteries of a legendary treasure and the disappearance of an ancestor proved to be an engrossing backdrop to Isobel and Jack's romance. Ultimately, this was a promising start to a new Scottish trilogy, and I enthusiastically recommend it with 4 stars.
