Time travel + bodyguard + all the pining? Oh yes.

I loved this couple’s compatibility. Our historic Highlander was giving Ned Stark: honourable, starchy, and secretly feeling all the feelings. And our secretly modern gal was his perfect match: adventurous, intelligent, and horny af.

I love love love how this author writes the the past. Our heroine was obsessed with historical Scotland (she even spoke Gaelic) but she still struggled to fit in. The modern-historical culture clash in these books is just so well done that I’m giddy the whole time I read them.

And then the plot was so romantic 🥰 There were some Highland adventures where our hero was her bodyguard and he was pining for her so hard. But she was betrothed to someone else (and trying to get out of it). And she was pining for our hero so hard. But then she also knew from a family legend from the future that she would have to fight the hero in order to save someone else… it was a whole thing. Lots of physical touch love language and all the emotions.

So fun! I didn’t want it to end.
