Carnal Gift by Pamela Clare

lora1898's review against another edition

I liked the first book better. For some reason Brighid is driving me crazy. I don't like her at all. It's not like i don't understand how she acts and why, i do, but still...And i didn't feel the love between Jamie and her. I am still reading the book, but my mind is already made. 3 stars :(

I want to say I found Bríghid a little to stubborn in holding onto her anger and hatred of Jamie soley because he was an Englishman, but I can kind of sort of see where she was coming from. I've researched Irish history for my own projects and I know how things would have been back then. In this regard I guess I can see an authenticity to the character that made the book feel more real. Pamela Clare has done it again, I loved the book. :)

I love Pamela Clare's later historical romances, so when I spotted this in the used section of the Ripped Bodice bookstore in LA, I grabbed it.
Unfortunately while it was well written, neither the plot or characters were particularly memorable. And the whole reveal at the end that the villain has

gone insane because of syphilis

was unnecessary; being a privileged douchebag was enough to explain his behaviour.

I love everything about Scotland and Ireland.
The setting of this book is just beautiful.

Jamie and Brighid just bore into my heart.

Jamie had a wonderful sense of humor, but was sensitive at the same time. He started out trying to protect Brighid, and in the end found love.

Brighid so reminded me of my Irish great aunts. She loves her family fiercely, and her faith is strong.

If the imagery of Outlander is something you enjoynthis would be a great book to read.
