This book was a delight! I've never read any other books by Suzanne Enoch and unabashedly admit that I picked this up almost entirely on the virtue of the title and cover. I freely admit to being a sucker for Highlanders in anything and romance novels are no exception. So I expected to like the hero. Niall MacTaggert certainly didn't leave me disappointed.
I am not sure I expected how much I would love the heroine. Amelia-Rose was so very enjoyable. Strong willed but still vulnerable, caught between what she wanted and what was expected of her. She was an utterly believable character to me and a very likeable one.
I have to leave a little space for the side characters here. There were so many of them that I loved. The entirety of the hero's family were enjoyable to read, not only his two brothers (whom I very much hope will star in their own romances later) but his little sister as well. I wasn't certain what I thought of his mother at first given her choices at the beginning but she too grew on me a bit against my will.
There was a lot here that ticked some of my particular buttons: A romance plot that hinged more on outside factors than some overblown misunderstanding. Amusing dialogue. The inevitable bits of culture clash. Cute nicknames.
My reading has been a bit slower these last weeks so it took me a bit longer to finish this one than usual, but though my reading time was limited I found myself eagerly snatching this one up whenever I got a chance, and I am certain I lost at least a -little- sleep in favor of reading it.
All in all this book was an enjoyable experience. Highlanders in London, a sweet and touching romance. Just exactly what I needed to read right now. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more books in this series, and perhaps a few other series by this author as well.

I received a free ARC through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
