I liked this book more than I thought I would, considering I wasn't really invested in Kenneth in the last book.  Mary is cool, but probably the first heroine in the series that I wanted to yell at to make better decisions lol.  Overall, I'm surprised that I'm already half way through the series, but also this is totally on brand for when I get roped into a Highland Romance.  With the first few books kind of taking place with overlapping timelines, I'm glad that the larger story/plot is also moving forward again.
