Love with a Scottish Outlaw by Gayle Callen
This one does nearly everything right, and makes Highland romances feel like a new and wonderful kind of genre for a short while.

Compared to the author’s last few books, this one doesn’t make me feel like rupturing a blood vessel. So… hurray?
If this story is supposed to be special, why does it feel so much like a throwaway?
A part of me wince at the story, but oh, all those feels just make me… feel. Sigh.
If this one has another 200 pages or so, it’d be an easy five-oogie keeper.
The title is misleading, but that’s okay. The story has enough charming moments to spare no matter what its title is.
The hero is a memorable character, but he’s trapped and being used in a story powered by the heroine’s inability to make sensible decisions.
This is a story powered by the dumbassery of the hero and the heroine. That’s always lovely, of course.
The heroine isn’t that shy, but too bad the story is on the forgettable side.
Be careful, you may not want to read this one without having read other books in the series first. The party has already started without you.
