Forgetting The Scot

I was given this book by Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I rated this book 5 stars, which is well deserved.

It took me a while to really get into this book, however, as I began reading I ended up getting sucked in quickly. The characters, the story, the drama and the romance were all a huge hit with me. The story itself started out pretty quickly, however, it slowed down after the girls were saved from the pirates. This is where it was hard for me to stay focused, once I got passed the slow part I was hooked. The story flowed so well after that, and it had a surprising ending.

I will say that I loved Virginia as a character only because she cared more about children and others rather than herself. She was willing to sacrifice herself in order to save Jemima from her husband. Magnus was of course my favorite character, he was strong, sweet, sincere and even bullheaded. I think his stubbornness is what made me like him so much more. I hated that Virginia thought the children were more important to her than being in love and being happy. I know she loved children but she needed some time for herself before jumping right into helping others again. I'm glad the story ended with everyone having the things they love especially Virginia and Magnus.

I would recommend this book to anyone that loves historical romance, especially highlander romance. I give the author props for writing the ending a little differently than most other authors. When I thought the book would be over, it kept going and pulled me in more.
