First, I should clarify that I am not big on romances. Lady is obviously more romance than anything else. The characters are interesting but sometimes I felt that author could have spent more time developing them as individuals then devoting so much to the romantic story she was developing.

The most fascinating character for me was the hero's father who plays a minor role before his tragic death. The historical background the author gives beyond the tale was quite interesting. And, I enjoyed the Scottish brogue used throughout the book. If you like romances Robertson's lady will be good for you. Of course, it's a bit long.
