I really didn’t like this book, as it wasn’t for me. 

The prologue shows the MacTaggert parents’ relationship. I thought that it was clear to see the Angus didn’t care about his wife, and Francesca was spoilt. I didn’t like them at all as they are bad parents as they only care about the children they want to. 

I didn’t really like the situation that starts this book, and how Amelia is supposed to be engaged to Coll, but instead gets to know and spends time with Niall. I found it annoying how Niall doesn’t seem to mind that his mother is blackmailing all of them into doing as she dictates. The author tries to excuse his behaviour by saying that he’s always been the peacemaker, but I don’t see how that means that he does extra to please his mother. Due to Niall’s behaviour, I just couldn’t care about Amelia and Niall’s relationship as I didn’t like Niall and something about Amelia also made me dislike her. 

There was something about the writing style that made it hard to connect with the characters and it made the story feel distant. 

The ending, of course, made me angry because it shows the forgiveness, which to me doesn’t make any sort of sense since Francesca is still blackmailing them all. 

This book dragged as I didn’t care to see what happens with the main characters. I’m definitely not going to continue with this series as the plot isn’t for me. Also, I don’t think that I’ll want to read any other books by this author as I didn’t like the way this book was written.
