(don't remember)

I love time travel romance. There aren't enough good ones out there. Reading Binding Vows didn't change my opinion. This book was so highly rated, but the author's writing just did not do it for me. The writing was too simplistic and ideas weren't fully developed. Also, I can buy the idea that the witch needed a virgin's blood to get her powers back, but I couldn't go with the fact that she couldn't find any virgins in America in about a two year time period(because the few that she found were then seduced by the hero and his brother). Not a keeper, it was okay. I'd give it about two and one half stars. ( )

Hmmmm.......I really wanted to give this book a good review. When I read the summary of the book, I knew I would love it. When I read an excerpt, I couldn't wait to read this book. Now that I have the chance, I really don't want to read anymore. I am currently still reading this book. But I'm afraid if I keep reading before I give it a review, I'll be so frustrated and angry, either I will not even know where to begin or I'll be not so nice.

Now I will finish the book because I hate to leave things unfinished and a book has to be awful for me to give up on it. So this book isn't awful, but I needs some major reworking. I do have to unfairly say that ANYTIME I read a historical highlander books my mind automatically drifts to KMM. I know I should have a clear head, but sometimes I can't help it. While this book had promise, the writing had a horrible flow to it. There were times when it was just boring and slow and I just want it to end. I'm glad there are people who like the book. There is obviously something I just don't see.

So 2 stars means 'it was ok'. And that's a good way for me to put it. Depending on how the book ends, I may try her second one to see if it has any redeeming qualities.

Update: Instead of judging a book by it's cover, I judged it by the first 100 pages. Although the first half was, hate to say, boring and slow, the second half of the book was rather enjoyable. I hope the series gets better with each book. ( )

I really like this series. I actually started with the second book, not knowing it was a series, and was thrilled to get my hands on the first.
I was ever so happy when the secret Duncan had kept from Tara about the vows didn't stir problems. I was afraid it will turn into an unnecessary drama of "why didn't you tell me!?" and "I can't trust you now!" and so on, which was a good surprise. I was also surprised--in a good way--to see Myra's journey happen from Tara's point of view, I thought it happened after all the events in [b:Silent Vows|7816298|Silent Vows (MacCoinnich Time Travel Trilogy, #2)|Catherine Bybee|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1267736756s/7816298.jpg|10842449], and I was wrong.
Tara and Duncan's love is beautiful. I like that the author gives them time, and the events happen in a large course of time, rather than a few unbelievable days.
This series is a really good read. ( )

One of the best time travel historical romance. ( )
