This had the potential to be a great story. Tag, an anthropologist, has returned to his estranged father's home after his father's death and learns that he had inherited not only the family holdings but also a new property his father had purchased in Scotland -- the old ancestral castle. Out of curiosity, he decides to extend his leave before he returns to the dig he is working on in the Amazon, and go take a look at the property in Scotland. In Scotland, Tag meets Maura, the caretaker and last descendant of the clan that has had the castle in their family for hundreds of years. Tag and Maura hit it off immediately and both their plans for the future are rocked.
I would have really enjoyed this story if the author had stuck to the story and followed it to its logical (or even surprising) ending. However I would hazard a guess that less than 25% of this book is the story as described above, and the rest is a long drawn out, too much information, version of their libidos and all the tiny details of that process. It was disappointing because I had to skip multiple pages each time to get to the continuation of the actual story.
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this books which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
