Helpful Score: 4
My first complete BJ novel...The cover mentions this is the 1st in the Rose trilogy, but I didn't realize this was also the 3rd in the Master of time series until After I'd started the book... Having not read the other two, there were a few references I didn't get, but they didn't really alter the story at all. Rather, they made me more interested in reading the first two books!
Over all this was a pretty good book, though the Heroine does do quite a bit of the chasing, which I'm usually not a fan of. Also the Hero's turn around from denying his feelings to accepting them, wasn't nearly as emotional as it could have been, esp considering how hard he fought against them (and the heroine). And more groveling (or any) would have been nice. Another thing that bugged me, He was an ass to the heroine for quite a bit of the book, so when he finally decides she's the one, He's surprised that she doesn't believe him right away? Also the Hero could be (understandably) frustratingly stubborn (and a bit dense, IMO) by sticking to his plan, and unwilling to let anything get in his way,(though gotta love his jealous moments!) and all the hot highlander goodness only adds to the story :)
For the most part, the heroine was a pretty strong lead(no overemotional miss, this. Like I said, the H was quite a bit of an ass to her, but she wouldn't let that stop her from her course, despite the hurt feelings).
The bad guy was a pretty good one as well, though I wish his comeuppance was a bit more severe. After the stuff he did to his son, it would have been nice to see the Hero (said son) get his own back by dealing a nice violent end for his not so dear old dad.
But like I said, A pretty good book, though not keeper worthy.
