review 1: I recently discovered and love Karen Ranney and am plowing through every book she's written, but this was my least favorite of hers so far. Margaret was so prickly and cold, and I didn't find the H/h banter/sparring believable, or even easy to follow. One or both of them would suddenly get furious, or sad, or storm off, and it all felt out of the blue. When they first slept together, I couldn't believe that these two people would have slept together at that point. And a minor thing that really bugged me: McDermott decides to start calling her Maggie. She tells him not to. He does anyway. And it doesn't come off as a teasing, cute thing. I get that it was likely supposed to represent that he knew/loved her better than anyone else in her past. But the way Margaret was writte... moren, it didn't seem like she was a woman who would ever find it cute to be saddled with a nickname she didn't want and specifically declined to have. The ending was nice (of course!) but I wasn't all that invested because I didn't get strong sense of the characters as individuals. Not sure why -- like I said, I have read several other of her books and really liked them. On to the next one! This won't deter me. :)
review 2: Margaret Dalrousie is an acclaimed artist who was bruttally attacked in Russia leaving her emotionally and physically scarred. Art had been her world before her attack; but now she was unable to paint. An anonymous benefactor has left her a home in Scotland, the land of her birth, and she has taken up residence there to hopefully find herself again.Robert McDermott,the Earl of Linnet, has just returned to his country estate, Glengarrow, also emotionally and physcially scarred from a freak accident that took the lives of his wife and child. McDermott was certain that he would never be able to lift the depression that had engulfed him since the accident, much less ever love again.The two tormented souls meet while Margaret is on one of her constitutional walks and McDermott is returning to his estate from a 3 year absence... and immediately clash. Can they survive living as neighbors? In their quests to find themselves again, can they also find each other? Karen has written another beautiful, romantic tale set in Scotland... less
