Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
Such an incredible read. The level of historical details, the emotions, the tension, all of it. I will forever compare every other romance book I read from this point on against this book.
I don't remember the last time that I felt so many raw emotions about so many fictional characters, and I want more of that.
Jamie is a perfect little cinnamon roll, and while I hate how burned he got while baking, that has only served to perfect him as a character. Claire has such good qualities, and I love that she stands (or attempts to stand) toe-to-toe with the Scotsmen when they try to set her aside, dismiss her, etc. simply because she is a woman.
I cannot wait to read more of this series.
