The premise of this book had so much potential, especially once you know the secrets of both main characters. However, the execution left a bit to be desired. The connection between the characters felt superficial, driven mostly by lust, and I found their personalities to be pretty bland. They mostly fit the stereotypes they were meant to represent, which was disappointing.

The middle of the story really dragged, and the spice, while present, was just meh at best. I did enjoy the clever tie-in with the Loch Ness monster and loved the Scottish history throughout. However, I felt that the characters needed more depth to truly carry the weight of the story.
