I've felt like a Sassenach all my life. I'm a simple woman with simple needs, a hot Scottish redhead sounds good to me.

The amount of sexual assault in this book, got to the point of me not being able to read anymore. Despite, truly enjoying the story.

DID NOT FINISH

I hate the characters and the book romanticizes domestic abuse, not as much as other, but
Jaime seems to hit Claire way too often, which is way more than once
doesn’t matter if it’s “historically accurate.” A woman time-travels, we left historical accuracy long ago

DID NOT FINISH

Not necessarily that I didn't like it. I just was not in the right state of mind for how dense this book was and it was due back to the library.
