Story
Lady Aisla Montgomery has a perfectly tolerable marriage...as long as her husband stays in Scotland and she in Paris. But now, years later, she wants only one thing - a divorce. Niall Stuart Maclaren, the rugged Laird of Tarbendale, rues the day he met his beautiful, conniving wife. Though the thought of her incites a bitter and biting fury, no other woman has ever stirred his blood as hotly. When Aisla returns to Scotland to sever ties, Niall agrees on one condition - one week with him for every year of desertion. Six weeks as his wife in his castle in exchange for her freedom.

the performance was impressive. most guys sound ridiculous playing female characters, he did a good job making flat characters lively. the story itself was good initially but a bit blind and dragged on...

good story but frustrating
Reviewed: 06-02-23
it neanders a lot in this one. the last one she and Olaf were headed to be great lovers. stuff of legends in their own rights and an epic and unlikely love story, this one... scratch that. he's now with someone smaller, home maker, boring. she's organza her hall... she trains shelf maidens and is rather boring in her ability to mary sue it all... even though she's still a teenager? brother was going to be this magic laden fight and that petered out as well...
I can only hope the author is building something

Otherwise... Stellar. I did, personally, dislike whe. her love "fixed" him... but it was a sweet story with some less than sweet steamy scenes... it wrapped up nicely, although I wish it had dragged out their interlude a little longer... the set up was very intriguing and you definitely felt for both characters...

the author fails to capture how humans process feelings and the "near rapes" were almost cliche. 'It's OK, she fought it so she escaped... phew thought she'd be trash otherwise... '(eyeroll *) the villains were underdeveloped, the love story was topical at best and the heroine was boring. Worst yet, the narration... ugh

A lady does not smoke cheroot. She does not ride astride. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemen's club. Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried - and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she's vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she's been missing. But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss - to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston....

shallow
Reviewed: 11-30-22
The main character is so frustrated by shallow company but believes herself inlove with a handsome man who she only references in the most superficial of terms. Oh and the "I thought I could change him" speech... gag me. Followed by a capricious oh just kidding I love him... still better than most stories out there, sadly.

Epically one dimensional
Reviewed: 11-17-22
The characters are so boring. There is no conflict and the two main characters are Mary Sues, therefore there is no character development. Basically, it's two strangers falling inlove through parenting... but drawn out over HOURS. There is no great witty writing or conversations either... save yourself the money and time.
