So nearly 5 stars (4.5), but I'm very stingy with my 5 stars. A great combination of historical fiction and romance - both in the present day and in the historical flashbacks. The historical side was very interesting - all about the 1708 planned Jacobite invasion/rebellion, which I didn't know anything about. Might go and find more books on the Jacobites. Well worth a read in spite of the insipid UK cover and title, neither of which really reflect the book at all.
