Highland Treasure by Lynsay Sands
5.0
It's been a long time since I last read an historical romance, but after this one I plan on reading more! This is also my first Lynsay Sands book, and I most definitely plan on going back and reading her back catalog!
I very much enjoyed this story. This is about the journey Elysande makes after meeting up with Rory. We learn what has happened to her and her story as they travel along her way, and also learn about Rory as well. It's clear that there have been prior books with Rory's family, but Lynsay Sands is an excellent writer and I never felt like I couldn't follow along, and had I not known there were books before, I would not have realized it here.
I very much liked the mystery and intrigue that follow along with Rory and Elysande, and I love the slow burn start to their love story. I also love that this book has them together for almost the entire book - traveling together, getting to know each other, and falling in love. It's a sweet romantic story, but very much not a fade to black one.
I also very much loved the detail in this book. The author does a fantastic job of explaining things that we wouldn't know or understand in contemporary times in a way that doesn't pull you out of the story, but satisfied my inquiring brain. This is unique - I used to read historical romances a while back, and don't remember ever getting those details before and I very much appreciated that here. It's well done in that it gives you information, but it's not too much or done in a boring way - weaved in naturally with the story!
I'm very much looking forward to reading more of her books!
Thank you to Harper Collins and NetGalley. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
