My Review
This was not as short as I expected it to be, since it is a novella. But not very long either. I guess I was wrapped up in the story. Although I love Julia London very much, and most highlander books, this one just didn't hit me as deeply as her other books.
It was a beauty and the beast type story. The beast being Duncan Buchanan, first pretty boy with no care how he treated anyone-beastly. Then he was badly burned in a fire and scarred terribly beastly looking, but a changed man in manners.
Fiona, had a crush on Duncan as a young girl but that crush/dream was dashed when he was so very rude to her.
My thoughts on this story, are vague. I just didn't connect deeply to it, how did she not recognize him at all? Only one side of his face was scarred, and she still saw his eyes, and actually his entire face. The night that I thought was "the night" really wasn't the special night, yes they connected but not like the night they finally arrived at Blackwood. I have mixed feeling on the story. Granted it was suburbly written, as all of Julia London's books are but to me its missing something and I don't know what it is.
