My Thoughts:

I love me some really lovely historical romances, and these certainly didn't disappoint! I really enjoyed them, my favorite being A Highlander's Heart by Jennifer Haymore. Definitely some worthwhile stories! I would absolutely recommend these. Then again, I can't help but do so, because... ROMANCE. Seriously.
