scottish......gotta love'em. the brogue speech is so hot
Not very memorable. but an easy read all the same.
This is my first Howell's and I really enjoyed it. The characters were real and acted accordingly.
Ailis was a spunky girl who learned at an early age to accept the things that she could not change, but that did not mean that she lacked the courage to fight back whenever she could.
Alexander had given up on women because of the hurt they had caused him. He took what he thought was his and to hell with the consequences until he took Ailis and finally met his match.
