I don't know why but I love all the Highland Scottish stories. They are always fun!
I knew going in that this would essentially be smut, and that’s what I was looking for—a brain break. But smut can still be plot and character driven and have SOME sense of time and place. This had none of it. It took place in the 1100s? Who would know if it wasn’t explicitly said? The characters were weakly drawn and even the sex scenes were boring. I had zero investment in Jamie and Alec’s relationship and honestly just wanted to finish the darn thing. If you want a Scottish historical romance other than Outlander, this shouldn’t be it.
So far this book is a cross between outlander and maya bank's highlander series. The english heroine, Jamie, has Claire's healing ability plus her bionic energy and ability to face countless disasters - in one day alone she saves a boy from a wild boar, survived an attempt on her life, had mad sex with her husband, fought a woman, and set off to rescue her husband's former wife's daughter. She also, though, feels the need to change everything to prove her value as the new wife of the laird and this leads to oh so many complications. Did I mention that in addition to being a healer, Jamie is stunningly beautiful, able to speak Gaelic, able to stand bare back on a moving horse while shooting a target with a bow and arrow AND hit the center.
yüzümde kocaman bir gülümsemeyle bitti..
bir sürü not aldım...
özlemişim çiftimizi..
Alec kıpırdamayınca Jamie ona dokundu, oysa Alec Jamie'nin elini alnında hissetmekten
haz almıştı. Bu kibarca hizmet Alec'i şaşırtmış olsa da Jamie'nin ona bir kez daha
dokunmasını arzu ediyordu. Ilımlı bir ses tonuyla "Bunu neden yaptın?" diye sordu.
Jamie "Saçın çok uzun," yanıtını verdi, ona gerçeği söylemeye cesaret edemiyordu.
"Değil."
"Onu kesmek zorunda kalacaksın."
"Neden?"
Jamie "Saçı benimki kadar uzun olan bir erkeğe güvenemem," diye mırıldandı.

I feel like I have read this before, but this time I listened to it and it was so much better than I remembered it to be. It was humorous, romantic, and well written. As an audio-book it only took about 12.5 hours to listen to, of which I cross stitched the whole time and managed to make a total of 5,400 stitches complete over that span of time, which is roughly 430 stitches an hour which is by far way faster than I ever stitch videos playing, yay! It kept me engaged from minute one.

"They're thanking you, Jamie. Each would give his life to keep you safe. You've done the impossible, love. You've actually united our clans."
Jamie was the kind of female lead I love—one who knew when to love fiercely and when to stand up for her man and her clan. She was strong, loyal, and unshakable in the face of danger.
I won’t lie, though—Mary and the other sisters frustrated me. They always assumed it was Jamie’s responsibility to save them, and I was so relieved when Alec caught on early.
Jamie and Alec’s dynamic as a couple was absolutely beautiful to read. They were the kind of pair you just knew would always have each other’s backs, no matter what.
Re-reading these books (even decades later) is easily one of the best decisions I’ve made this year!

No no no. If a girl says "no" she means "no". Sorry I'm so spoiled that I want my romantic heroes to entertain the idea of consent.
And then his repetitive "she is just my property" bs on top of that. Pfff how did she fall for this guy??
I know we are lucky to be living in modern times. Never take women's rights for granted ladies!!
