By	K. Keyonnie - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It was one of the best books I ever read. Catherine Coulter is a very talented writer. I can't wait for her next book. I think that Brandy was very luck to have met Ian. The thing about them being married as cousins was common back then. Also they weren't close cousins. They were distant cousins. So I don't think it was a "sick" book. It was very romantic novel. The setting of Scotland and timing of the book made it even better.

Don't think this book is bad it is actually really good . the plot is interesting and the book is really descriptive in what happens but its's still kind of sick them being cousins and all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cousins?, Aug 24 2000

By A Customer

It's not like me to trash on a book, I try to be open minded. But the family ties between Brandy and Ian kind of wierded me out. I know they did that then but... Well anyway that was really the only thing that disturbed me. If I forgot about it, it was a very good book! And what she thought was wrong with her, Huge breasts and a tiny waist, poor girl. Such an obstacale to overcome.: ) It did make me laugh though.

I am a huge fan of Catherine Coulter, as well as most Scottish romances. Put those two together and you have a great book. This book is witty and keeps you interested.
