This was the never ending story. It was so LOOOONG! I just couldn't wait to be done with it. I felt it was a rather sappy romance. I know everyone loves this series so I thought I would give it a try. There were moments that were somewhat fun but the book could have been about a third of the length. I probably could have read it quicker by just reading every third sentence and gotten the same results. I enjoyed reading about the Scottish highlands but all the drama of this kidnapping, that fight, this person almost dying, that person and their dark secrets...It was really all just to OUTLANDish for me. I already have the second in the series but it will be awhile before I give it a whirl. I felt that reading this book was more of a chore than a pleasure.
