On a Highland Shore - Kathleen Givens I absolutely loved this book though at times the Viking brutality was repulsive and disturbing. Early on, I had thoughts of Outlander with the Scottish setting, political unrest, etc but the resemblance quickly faded. There is just no comparison to Outlander. The setting is medieval, a time when the Vikings raided Scotland and killed all in sight regardless of gender or age. The aftermath of these scenes is horrific. I enjoyed the romance, really liked Gannon and Margaret is one of those characters you instantly feel kinship with.

I was left wondering about poor Davey, Nell and Liam and hoping that a sequel would bring a spectacular conclusion to these horrible events. Now I find out that the sequel has nothing to do with any of these characters and the author has died so now I'll never know what happened to Davey or who Liam is. Darn.
