Book #73 of 2009 While I was reading this book, I felt it didn't really click with me too well. It was pretty cute, and parts of it were hilarious, especially the hen/stag party bit, but I just wasn't feeling the overarching story theme. It might have been because of the sort of ridiculously fast move from swooning over an accent to living together, or it might have been because as a reader you just don't get a whole lot about Iain, since the story is in first person. It also might have been because of Iain's age - 47. Which meant that he's would be a good 21 years older than I am and he's a sheep farmer and... I just felt like I didn't connect. I think I like my romances with more external conflict. But he was a good man, a solid man, in the story. And since I finished this book just before a long run, I had 10 long miles to contemplate the story. And the more I mulled it over, the more I realized that I did like Iain because he was a good man. He may not be a "typical" romantic hero, but I think he's more REAL. So in the end, I'm left with some warm fuzzies from this story. Not clamoring for more, not my favorite romance to date, but it was a pretty decent read.
