Finding Fraser by K.C. Dyer
1.0
The cover blurb from Diana Gabaldon led to high hopes for this spinoff. But no, no, no, no.
A question that another writer might have done a lot with--What kind of modern guy would qualify as a Jamie? After all, it's unlikely one will find an ace cattle thief/broadswordsman/soldier/printer/vintner/farmer/frontiersman/horse groom browsing the aisles at Target--or even at your local Jacobite fan club Meetup. And then there's the whole question of whether he will love you enough to endure the various hardships of lashings, imprisonment, ocean voyages, witchcraft, sodomy, and encounters with spoiled heiresses, pirates, and savages.
I mean, in today's world, what would that kind of man and that kind of love even look like?
You will not find the answer in this book. I just can't go anywhere in my mind with a protagonist who would have anything to do with Dyer's Hamish.
Wanted to like it. Couldn't. I can only surmise that KC Dyer is a super nice person and DG wanted to be nice back.
