Get Access In Your Wildest Scottish Dreams (MacIain, #1) Engineered By Karen Ranney Accessible Through Document

book was horrible and such a chore to finish! I couldn't stand the heroine, she was so stiff and her inner dialogue was so monotonous and no matter how many times she told herself to tell the truth, when it came time to ampup, she always chickened out.
What the hell did the guy see in her

Speaking of the guy, he wasn't all that great either.
He would have all these plans to tell her how he loved her and loved her for years, but when it came to the proposal which only happened after they had spent a total of manyhours together, with all their scenes combined!, he only used the excuse of money to help her family's mill.


It felt like the side characters were taking over the story from the main characters, Whenever the main characters had a moment to be alone, there was always another character butting in and when they were actually alone it's as if the power of communication escaped them completely to the point where I seriously questioned the IQ of both these people.
Glynis MacIain sebenarnya sudah mencintai Lennox Cameron sejak masih kecil, Tapi saat Glynis berusiathn, dgn su'udzon dia mengira Lennox akan menikahi gadis lain, Glynis berakhir menikahi Richard Smythe.
Richard ternyata seorang dubes yg pedofilia, Dan setelahthn pernikahan yg tidak membahagiakannya, Richard mati dan membebaskan Glynis utk kembali ke Glasgow kota kelahirannya dan bertemu kembali pada cinta pertamanya.


Dgn setting abadpada masa Revolusi Industri, author menggambarkan kota Glasgow ini sbg pusat galangan pembuatan kapal yg sudah mendunia, diwakili dgn sosok Lennox yg kharismatik.
Glynis tadinya ingin minta bantuan keuangan pada Lennox utk membantu kakaknya, tetapi malah berakhir dgn tuduhan sbg salah satu tersangka pembunuh Kapten Whittaker dan digosipkan bertelanjang ria di kebun dgn Lennox oleh istri Whittaker.
Tidak ada jalan lain selain mereka menikah, Tapi Glynis belum tenang sblm menemukan siapa pembunuh sebenarnya Whittaker, Apakah Matthew Baumann yg membunuh krn selama ini Baumann mencoba memeras Glynis Ada apa dgn masa lalu Glynis di Amerika yg membuatnya terjebak oleh Baumann

Novel ini plotnya lamban dan berteletele, terlalu banyak narasi dan terutama di paro awal juga terlalu seringnya narasi dari pihak Glynis yg sedang galau.
Romance antara Glynis dan Lennox nyaris kering dan tawar sebelum mereka menikah, Dan gaya penceritaan romance author mengingatkan saya pada gaya tulisan author Jane Feather, yg kaya dgn detildetil setting background tapi "lemah" pada romansanya.
Karakter Glynis dan Lennox tidak ada yg istimewa bagi saya, tidak bikin benci juga tidak membuat saya terpesona, so so saja.
Novel ini sedikit menarik krn ada unsur misterinya, utk menemukan siapa pembunuh sebenarnya yg sudah gampang diduga, Glynis MacIain has known Lennox Cameron most of her life and loved him just about that long, When she foolishly declared her love for him with a passionate kiss at a ball given by her father for his Russian business partner and was met with silence, Glynis fled to London where she met and wed Richard Smythe, up and coming member of the British delegation.
Now, seven years later and widowed, Glynis has returned to her family in Glasgow, Scotland, She's also not the girl Lennox remembers Glynis has secrets, is very reserved and vows to resist Lennox's charms at all costs.
With the Civil War raging in America and Lennox building blockade runners for the Confederacy on the Clyde, Glynis will soon find herself caught up in the Washington past she hoped to leave behind.
Add to that one very nasty English bride who's spreading rumors about Glynis and Lennox and soon there's no choice but to wed in the strict society of Glasgow.
But will their secrets tear them apart

If only their foolish pride as other reviewers have mentionedhad prevented them from acting on their feelings all those years ago, what heartaches could have been avoided I enjoyed this book not only from Glynis' and Lennox' story but also, from seeing another side to the effect the Civil War had on others we don't often think of that.
Stubborn, stubborn people are Glynis and Lennox they nearly lost each other several times over!









Sadly I couldnt get into it.
It was very repetitive and too much internal dialogue going on, Both MCs where just meh! I forced myself to finish this book just for my reading challenge, I did not like or feel any connection to the characters in the story, It was very choppy. Disappointing. DNF atChapterI like historical novels, One of the things that I like is the predictability of the story and plot, I love the unique characters in the familiar stories, I do not like westerns though or stories about the American Civil War, There is nothing romantic about war,
While the cover led me to believe that the story was about Scotland, I should have paid closer attention to the synopsis of the novel.
This book takes place during the American Civil War with that as a major plot feature, There are no lairds or ladys, just shipbuilders and mill owners, Glynis seems to have an interesting character but it is taking too long to find out her secrets and Lennox is just boring so far.
I have too many other books that I would like to read so this goes in the DNF shelf.
Glynis Maclain once loved Lennox Cameron, but when he didnt return her love, she married
someone else and left her home, and went to America, and her life changed forever.
She is now a widow, and has finally returned to her home, to her family, but she is determined to not let Lennox break her heart again.
Lennox is a shipbuilder, and very successful, but has never married, because there has only been one woman who has held his heartGlynis.
Now that she has returned, a widow, he is bound to show her what they can be together, but only if Glynis will let go of past hurts and betrayals and open herself up for love again
What I loved most Everythinghehe I know I knowbut I truly loved this one, and what a great beginning to a new series.
I really cant tell you the exact name of the series yet, since that has yet to be revealed, so I have just guessed that it is about “Scottish Dreams” and the second book comes out this spring, which I am very excited about.
Karen Ranney is such a wonderful author, and her talent in creating romances is beyond superb, As I am sure you know, Ranney writes her books centered on a Highlander theme, and this book is more in the Regency era.
We also see aspects of the civil war, and I loved having that aspect, Its not a major element to the plot, but the certain qualities of it add a certain depth to the story you dont expect to see.
And the supposed villain, kinda turns out to be not what you really expect, and I loved seeing the varying aspects that combine this one into a winning romance that won my attention from beginning to end.

The characters in this story are truly unique and I found their personalities to compliment the plot really well and in ways that surprised me.
Lennox Cameron, is quite successful and goes after what he wants, He is a fabulous hero, but I felt like the story focused more on Glynis than it did on Lennox.
We see more inside depth on her character, and of her past a bit, and how her previous marriage changed her, but what I also liked is how this story really implements the self discovery of herself even more than you expect, and I liked seeing her inner strength show more, and we see how she is a great match for Lennox.
Even though we dont see as much of his character as we do of Glynis, we do see his struggles a bit, and how their personalities really mesh together in a way that is just wonderful.


This love story is quite a winner for me, I had so much fun with these two, and boy do they know how to add conflict to their relationsip, and they dont make it easy on themselves and just admit their feelings to

each otheroh no they have to do this long mating ritual, but the final outcome is definitely worth the wait.
Overall I enjoyed how the different elements of the story come together in the end, for a full satisfying read that will captivate you.
A STELLAR ROMANCE!!.
