Is this the best romance I've ever read? Nah! but did I have fun? you bet!

idk maybe it's just my love of the Scottish highlands and the lore that hooked me, but I actually was surprised that it seemed like this book was well researched (note: all my information on this topic comes completely from Outlander so do with that what you will). 

The only thing that frustrated me was that I figured out how they had to break the curse like very early on and it takes Riley far too long (especially for a 'pro') to realize it. And it felt like the only reason for that was just because they had to build this pseudo-enemies kind of trope. They are not true enemies because they've only just met, but sure there's some antagonism there due to the fact that Clark just downright doesn't believe in curses or what Riley is doing at all.

But in the end I thought this was a cute little paranormal-adjacent romance with some decent spice and banter! Also the MC is described as what I would consider to be average to plus size, and there's no fatphobia at all which always seems like a hurdle that has to be jumped over when a MC is plus sized!
