2.75-3 Stars!

This one is a difficult one for me to rate. To be honest, I was halfway to skipping it completely and just going straight to [b:Some Like It Scot|23723771|Some Like It Scot (Scandalous Highlanders, #4)|Suzanne Enoch|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1426026217l/23723771._SY75_.jpg|43333399]. I was just never invested in Rowena before this. She was too much a spoiled brat throwing a fit for me to really get behind anything that she did. Even through most of this book, I was still rolling my eyes and wishing someone would smack her. Don't get me wrong, it's fine for people to want to experience something else, but Rowena was literally trying to erase who she was. Instead of a girl who wanted a Season and a chance to experience something other than the Highlands, she was a girl throwing a fit because her family said "no."

Even after they ended up back at Glengask, she was still trying to bury her brogue and dress like a Sassenach and every time someone thought about suggesting something "uncivilized", she'd veto it. That being said, she started growing on me as Lachlan started reminding her that she was a Highland lass. She wavered a bit when things were starting to come to a head and my opinion was still wobbly right up until she started using all those Highland skills to slow down Dermid.

I both loved and wanted to smack Lachlan. Normally, I'm pretty much all in for the "I love my best friend's sibling but I won't do anything because of the friendship" trope. And it was fine up until Lach flat out told Winnie he wasn't interested and then as soon as she's not broken about it, he suddenly sees she's not just the kid following him around. I get that people saying the two of them were going to be married from the time he was 8 years old probably didn't feel all that great, but the fact that until he suddenly didn't have that hanging over his head, he didn't bother to try and see Winnie kind of annoyed me. I will admit to laughing at his little jabs at Samston and Cranach. And the way he seemed to goad Cranach so easily.
