review 1: I picked up When a Scot Loves a Lady when I was trolling the library aisles for new historical romances authors and thought, “That name is familiar,” so I looked up Katharine Ashe’s books and grabbed the first in the series. As one does when armed with Goodreads on one’s phone and an appetite for historomance.But I’m not exactly sure what happened in When a Scot Loves a Lady. Don’t get me wrong: I enjoyed reading the book. I even stayed up late to finish. But I often found myself confused by the hero and heroine as they often seemed to jump back and forth between their feelings toward the other and it was difficult to sort it all out.Then there was Leam’s Scottish brogue. It wasn’t fun to read. At all. Oh, I’m sure he sounds wonderful and he does, indeed,... more give Kitty tingles of heat with that voice. But a lot of his lines required reading more than once to figure out exactly what he was said, and that’s never fun. If you have to read a sentence more than once to understand it, it’s not a good sentence.But, you know, the book ended well, and that’s always a plus in its favor. Has anyone else read Katharine Ashe? What would you recommend?
review 2: Overall, I enjoyed Kitty and Leam's story. Their connection and the attraction between them is intense. I had some trouble following Leam's brogue. My first language is French and I sometimes find it difficult to read historical romance because of the vocabulary. Add to this the Scottish brogue and I'm lost! The author gives a Brief Scots Glossary, but it wasn't nearly enough. I almost gave up reading this book because of the first chapters, but I'm glad I kept reading. I found some typos in French : bien sur instead of bien sûr, peut-etre instead of peut-être, ce bébé, la instead of ce bébé, là. You can't write in French and skip most of the accents. I would recommend this book if you love historical romance and if you don't mind Scottish brogue. It's a sweet story with a lot of twists. less
