Kailin Morgan has always been an avid reader and is now becoming a (somewhat) dedicated writer. She likes trying to do something new with old tropes – taking the odd and unusual and placing them into everyday settings, with a little bit of spice and sauce, then shake things up and see what happens.
Sometimes her writing surprises herself.
Her top five things are words, coffee, music, family and her netbook. The order varies by the hour.
I have a weakness for men in kilts, and that weakness is what initially attracted me to this book. Let that be a lesson to you. It certainly was to me. From the blurb to the actual events in this book, His Highland Wolf is all around messy and confusing. The storytelling is stilted and choppy. I think that has a lot to do with the timeline and how spread out it is with very little consequence to the story.
The blurb leads off with “In the early 1600’s, Scotland is in turmoil after the failed Gunpowder Plot.” Yet this “Gunpowder Plot” is never mentioned, neither is the time period. The author expects readers to know what this historical event is without ever explaining what has actually happened, which is irritating, to say the least.
