The romance portion of the book was well done, but there are so many suspense subplots and changes in POV that it it's a bit disjointed to read.

Perfectly readable, but I have no intention of reading anything else by this author/these authors.

Loved it!
I'm a history major and originally got this book because I this book because I was looking for a book on Scottish history, and while I did not get that, I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. It was an amazing storyline, with perfect romance and even humor. I highly recommend it and can't wait for the next book!

For a while I wasn't sure that this book was for me, I couldn't even recall why I added it to my TBR but nevertheless, I wanted to cross it off and I am grateful for doing so.
The most interesting part of this novel is how May McGoldrick chose to hold off on very important information until about halfway through the book. It added another level of suspense as well as set up for a sequel. We see how the strings of fate bring the two brothers together and how even though Catherine and John were wed on the worst terms imaginable (and with Catherine's clear objection) that their marriage changed both of them.
One of the more frustrating things for me in the book was the change in narration. Normally, I am fine with having multiple narrators and honestly, that didn't bother me in this novel as well but it was pretty clear that the author didn't enjoy writing about the secrets of the Treasure as much as she did the banter and witty exchanges between the earl of Athol and his wife. While they were well-written something felt like it was missing.
