My name is Lynsey. I am an avid reader. My favourite genres are Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, and the occasional Historical or Romantic mystery. I currently have around 30-40 series on the go, and am constantly feeding my TBR monster. It's an addiction, what can I say?
Anyway. Happy reading, everyone!

The Hawk (Highland Guard Series #2)
The set-up for the Highland Guards series is based on the genuine, documented existence of an elite Highland guard tasked to protect Robert Bruce during his quest to free Scotland from English rule. Bruce wants the throne back from Edward I (The Hammer of Scotland) and has sought out the best of the best of the best that Scotland has to offer to act as his muscle, protection, spies and anything else he might need them for.The pacing was...gentle, to put it kindly. Another word I could use would be "slow", but as it seemed like a deliberate choice by the author not to make this the battle-filled, high action read I was hoping for, I will use the former. There was often not a lot happening other than one character thinking about the other. Or trying not to.The romance, too, was slightly underwhelming. Definitely not my favourite couple of the series.To sum up, it was an okay read set in an interesting time with a love story that *almost* made it.
