This is a good Highlander romance, and a good addition to the Highland Clan series. This one gets 3.5 stars from me, rounded up to 4 stars.
I have liked Torrian ever since he was introduced in the Clan Grant series. He was such a sweet kid, even when he was so sick, and I was glad we got his story. I still liked him as an adult, but it bothered me that his father and uncle didn't fight the king's decree for his betrothal a little more. Based on the Clan Grant series, that was completely out of character for Quade and Logan Ramsey -- it just didn't make sense that they would be willing to sacrifice Torrian's happiness.
I liked Heather a lot, and understood how her past drove her behavior. What happened to her before she met Torrian was so sad, and it bothered me that her grandfather had never explained that it wasn't her fault. I did think, though, that she would have been traumatized by her rape, and would have been terrified of sex. So I don't think she would have wanted to have sex with Torrian so quickly.
I was glad that Torrian and Heather found their HEA -- they were good together, and they both needed someone who understood them.
I also liked most of the other characters, especially the children, who were just adorable. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.
