**Update**I yield at page 75, as tired as my mind was yesterday and not in the mood to read anything but fluff I could go no further. Bad, unbelievably bad.Sigh....Over and above 1) this medieval Baron's sister called off her own engagement (!!) along with 2) her brother leaves by the *secret passage* that is described as dark with dying rushes fluttering about yet when she's kidnapped by the Scot the second he walks in the door there's a lit torch on the wall just-a-waiting for him. Finally on pages 8-9:"A stranger stood near the far wall, his feet braced shoulder width apart, his muscled body drawn to its full height. His hair, black as midnight, disappeared behind broad well-muscled shoulders. A scar slashed down his left cheek; an aged line adding to his daunting presence.Cobalt eyes, half shielded by long, thick black lashes studied her with unapologetic interest. Eyes of a man who'd seen too much devastation. As she continued to stare at him, a scowl carved the man's strong-boned face, an expression as unwelcoming as it was dangerous."Gawd, let's hope there's no no snarls, grunts or furrowed eyebrows in this one.
