I REALLY wanted to love this book. For the most part it was a very interesting story. The old Scottish language was very distracting a lot of the time. I felt like the story need some refining and defiantly needed to be proof read (may have been a kindle problem???).

A keeper!!
Being that I bought this book months ago and set it aside, I was in for a pleasant surprise reading it this week, forgetting what it was about.
I had forgotten it was a time travel, so I wondered how this would work out-his being a ghost and all. I love that Beth was not a squeamish, weak spoiled brat but a strong, level headed funny heroine.
The hero was loyal, strong and honorable to the core. l also liked Angus, his leading man.
I really appreciated that this book wasn't full of trite misunderstandings that are so common in romance books, and the things Beth did to her husband at times in the story had me laughing out loud. She is from the modern world, so he found her a bit confusing at times.
I love a romance book that is all of the above, and that it's so entertaining that I just don't want to set it down at all. I found myself saying "Just one more chapter. Ok, just one more..."

While I did enjoy some aspects of this story, some also left me just wanting more. I’m always a sucker for time travel romances involving ghosts and curses but I also enjoy getting the back story about why and how the curse was set, not just seeing it broken and everyone living happily ever after. So that did affect my enjoyment of the story a bit, I wanted to know the how and why! Other than that, it was quite an enjoyable story.

I DEVOURED THIS BOOK!!! I finished it in two days! I was instantly sucked into the sorry and found it impossible to put it down. The romance between Duncan and Beth kept me turning the pages. There's so much to this book, romance, danger, and hysterical bits slipped in. I'm a huge fan of Outlander and while this book isn't quite on that level, it's still a wonderful read. There's even a bit where the main character mentions Outlander and the infamous Jamie Frasier and it's a paragraph that will make you chuckle. I'm very much looki g foward to reading the other two in the Blackstone series!!
