I wasn't a big fan of Hank either, but I tolerated him much more than Ellis. I felt for Maddie as well and loved her new-found friendships in Scotland...one of the best parts of the story! I'm glad you enjoyed this one as well, Christina. thanks for visiting!

Oops.<br /><br />I hated Ellis and I thought perhaps there was something going on between him and Hank. I didn't really care for Hank either. I felt really bad for Maddie who had a difficult childhood and then married someone not worthy of her and into a family that hated her. Like you, I was happy that Maddie bloomed in Scotland and found her inner strength and made new friends.Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-58735390357345728962015-03-30T22:46:48.371-04:002015-03-30T22:46:48.371-04:00I'm really looking forward to this one.

I loved the setting of the Scottish Highlands and Gruen's vivid descriptions; I felt like I was there with them! I was definitely surprised by Maddie's new "romance," and totally agree that it ended quite nicely; overall, I thought it was a great read. Thanks so much for a great review; hope you had nice weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757224632083428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-23120128533460540662015-03-30T09:29:24.128-04:002015-03-30T09:29:24.128-04:00"I was hoping the Loch Ness monster would con..."I was hoping the Loch Ness monster would consume him in one swift bite."<br /><br />I was hoping the exact same thing just after reading your opening paragraph Christina! I'm really glad Maddie finds her way to someone else though, and is able to see just how bad things with Ellis really are. This is making me want to book a trip to Scotland immediately!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-13552130213892693392015-03-30T08:39:01.056-04:002015-03-30T08:39:01.056-04:00This looks really great!!
