A review by haynoelle96
Highland Treasure by Lynsay Sands
3.0
Historical romance is one of my favorite genres if they do it right. It has to have the right amount of swoony romance, atmosphere, smut, and plot. The plot doesn't exactly have to be intricate, but interesting enough to keep the reader engaged and not go on too long.
In my opinion, the plot of this book went on too long and there wasn't enough action to excuse how long it went on. Don't get me wrong, I loved the idea of the plot, but the group was too stationary the entire time for it to remain interesting. They should have moved more or been more mobile in their attempts to save the king.
There was practically no smut!! There was one scene, but other than that it was practically tame!! And I didn't really believe the chemistry between the two main characters, it seemed like they were just admiring how each other looked before eventually, they got together. There wasn't enough to really bond them, so it left their relationship awkward. Disappointing.
So yeah, not my favorite historical romance, but if you're looking for a tamer highland romance, then this might be for you!! There is a spicier scene that is near the end of the novel, but that's pretty much it in terms of explicitness. Happy Reading!!
