I'm glad this heroine is also one who can stand on her own two feet, but I hate leaving a book not convinced that the couple will make it. I definitely know what you mean about feeling like the guy is still a bit wishy-washy - like if she doesn't put out satisfactorily he might go somewhere else, so I think I might skip this one. But I'm glad it was a fun book overall.

It's a good read but the guys is so indecisive, it's hard to know if he even really likes her. That seems to be the way of this genre much of the time though. As long as the characters are still likable and we get to know them, then I'm usually okay. It's a bit disappointing that he doesn't seem more invested though.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701325312535440179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-50811889888359549022013-12-01T21:50:04.289-05:002013-12-01T21:50:04.289-05:00Ana sounds wonderful, but I hate when a romance la...Ana sounds wonderful, but I hate when a romance lacks emotional development (usually the physical is no problem with these alpha highlanders :D).

I think if I were to read a highlander romance, I would definitely want it the emotional connection to be felt equally on both sides. I don't think I could really enjoy or be attracted to Niall in any way if he were acting like that. So I will keep my eye out for a more romantic highlander read, I think!

I went to B&N the other day and was debating between Taming a Wild Scot and Kinked by Thea Harrison. I ended up going with Kinked. Though maybe I'll go back and get this one too. I could always use some more highlander books. ;) Xiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04705314478526745318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-61157297664755287142013-11-26T15:56:59.778-05:002013-11-26T15:56:59.778-05:00Hm... this does sound like a fun highlander book. ...Hm... this does sound like a fun highlander book.

I love when one character pushes back, and denies but usually the author has me firmly convinced through their actions and responses that they are indeed in love, just not ready to accept it.
