The last book of the Carsington series of novels, and I really wanted it to end on such a different note than this!

I've been looking forward to Lisle and Olivia's romance since the third book in the series, which follows their parents. Olivia is a pretty great heroine - spunky, rebellious, a bit of a con artist and rogue. Lisle is a great foil to her, logical and exasperated. So why the two stars?

I know this is a romance novel, and that's usually light reading, but this one just felt too fluffy. There just wasn't enough here. I enjoyed the Scottish setting, the treasure hunt, and the budding romance, but the entire thing went on for far too long. The sex scenes were repetitious, the antagonists, not all that villainous, and there wasn't enough banter to go around.
