Heart in the Highlands

 


***
Strong PG
{UM} slight {BSt} {TMP}
Probably Not Recommendable

First of all, that cover!  I love it!!!
Secondly, I thought the story was unique and interesting, however, there were multiple things that bothered me in the book.
There were a few {Uncomfortable Moments} and a {Backstory} that is hardly mentioned but you know it's there.  The thing that troubled me the most though was the focus on their physical relationship {Too Much Passion}.  Their wedding night is written about, and then aside from that issue, (which, by the way, is always an issue for me :) the description of any other kissing or desire was too much in my opinion.
Again, I thought the plot and characters were interesting and well written but I would have a hard time recommending this book based on some of the content.

The Best Laid Plans

 


***1/2
G
Easily Recommend

I don't know why it took me so long to get around to reading this one!
It was fun to put it in its place though as I reread the Jonquil and Lancaster series and it helped prepare me for the finale, Charming Artemis.
This is a cute novella that involves Artemis and Charlie's friends and sets the stage nicely for their own romance in the next book.
Super clean and sweet...as always from Sarah Eden.
I easily recommend this book with no concerns!

Charming Artemis .

PG
tiny bit of {TMP}
Easily Recommend

This is the long awaited conclusion of Sarah Eden's two family series.
I love that she brought them together in the end...and I think the title is really clever.  Artemis, of course is the heroine's name but Charlie is the hero's name and his little niece has called him Charming from the beginning of the series so this is just perfect :)
I thought it was a sweet story.
I felt like there was just a tiny bit more passion {Too Much Passion} than I was used to from Eden.  It wasn't offensive and would not keep me from recommending this book, but again, just a hair more than I have come to expect from this author.  Everything else was lovely and, I feel, a great ending to the Jonquil and the Lancaster sagas.
I will say that I had heard from more than one person that they became emotional during this book.  I fully expected to since I certainly have cried in the midst of Eden's other series Hope Springs.  I didn't put it past her to be able to bring me to tears, but alas, my eyes were dry.  (It may be because I have been more faithful with my antidepressants lately :)
