I was a little concerned about the whole "promised to one brother but falling for another" idea but Enoch manages to pull it off well.  Neither Amelia-Rose (man, that's a mouthful) nor Coll had any say in their engagement and there is a little bit of a trial run before anything is announced so that helps.  Plus, Coll is a big man-baby and pitches a hissy about the whole thing, disappearing for a few days and leaving Niall to clean up his mess ... and fall for his intended.  

I really liked Niall. He's smart (and smart-mouthed), has a highlanders sense of himself, manages to charm just about everyone, and doesn't take any guff.  He is also the only one who ever really supports Amelia-Rose.  He goes out of his way to see that she gets a say in her life and the opportunity to realize who she is supposed to be.  

And about that.  The blurb makes her seem like she's got more spunk than she does.  She was herself her first season and things didn't go well.  Now, she's following her mother's demands and is trying to be more subdued and "ladylike", with only the occasional slip.  Luckily for her, Niall brings out her true self and, even more important, he likes her for who she is.  She still falls back to being prim when he's not around - and tends to get pushed around by her mother - but the more time they are together the happier she is with herself.  It's heartening and fun to see because those two together are a hoot. 

I'm curious to see where Enoch is going with this series.  Their mother (and sister) is fabulous and I want so much for her to get her wish of a relationship with her sons.  As an introduction, Coll didn't exactly present himself as an appealing person, although we get insights into why he acts the was he does, so it will take a bit of redeeming for him I think.  And we didn't really get much from the second son, other than the strong family loyalty all the MacTaggert's possess.  I'm looking forward to see what women manage to bring the other highlanders to heel.
