Maybe a lot of people would think this was a predictable story, but I really liked it.

3.75 stars...a very interesting story though entirely too much time was spent on both of them worrying about the bedding and the consequences. Once the story got past that it got much more intriguing and almost earned a full 4 stars. the ending was extremely abrupt and i would have loved a bit more buildup before the final climax.

Not as good as the first in the series but definitely worth the read. Can't wait to read the final in the trilogy as there has been much buildup about the greatness of the hero. :)

Very quintessential Lynsay Sands highlander romance. It's exactly what I look for when picking up one of Sands' historical romance. Would I love if they went above and beyond? Yes of course. But I know exactly what I'm looking for.

I would have loved if I connected more to the male love interest. I just wasn't invested in him at all. There was actually a moment where we saw the male love interest from the last book and I almost caught myself swinging my feet and twirling my hair. <3

Highlanders! That was enough for me. Though how disappointing, the hero was English. Boooo.

Merry has idiots for a family. They drink and do nothing else. One would think they would have had liver failure by now, or some other clan would have attacked.

Alex is back from the crusades. His bride arrives. Well I got nothing bad to say about Alex. He was nice.

Merry Merry Merry, she really is a judgmental shrew. Also, the almost rape of her husband and touching was just, icky. Ewww. She was one weird woman.

But hey they will fall in love and live happily ever after. But before that someone is after Alex, who?

It was fun for a quick romance. But, they sure bathed a lot for this period. Bathing bathing, and one would think that growing up with animals she would understand that men like animals might have something growing. But hey maybe she never noticed.

There is another book after this right? (scratches arms and looks around the room). Tell me there is another book in this series. (rubs nose a few times and looks around the room.) I NEED another book in this series.

Fun, although the title is a little misleading. Not much "taming" in the sense that romance novels often mean. Nice to visit Evelinde and Cullen again.
