Danny Gordon: Blue Eyed
Setting: Scotland, Europe
Tag(s): Romance, Contemporary
Content Rating: R
POV: First Person
Smexy Level: Hot
Favorite Quote(s):
― “I’m not going to lose another person I love. I’m not going to open my heart to find something or someone to fill that hole only for them to leave or…or die. I can’t do it, Rose. I simply wouldn’t survive.”
Overall Opinion:
"What Happens In The Ruins" started off in a good note and I was anticipating a good old friends turned lovers trope but unfortunately this failed to meet my expectations. The characters lacked depth and the storyline was a little too fast pace and boring. Just wasn't a good fit for me which ultimately cause me to dropped the series.

Title: What Happens in the Highlands
Author(s): Kelsey McKnight
Character(s):
Rose Hensel: Black, Blue Gray Eyed
Lachlan Calder-Mackinnon: Blonde, Green Eyed
Setting: Nairn, Scotland
Tag(s): Romance, Contemporary
Content Rating: R
POV: First Person (Heroine)
Smexy Level: Hot
Favorite Quote(s):
― “Love is somethin’ that brings two people together, making one life out o’ two. It combines, but also separates in a beautiful way. There’s a before and after from that moment on, a distinct part in two lives that forever embodies what makes their past, present, and future what it was always meant to be.”
Overall Opinion:
Falling in love less than a week… yes a week! Not even a full seven days before Rose and Lachlan fell madly in love with each other which prompted the low rating. Seriously why must I be torture by this instant love?! There was barely anything real connection with lead characters and their encounters happened on day six during Rose ten day wedding excursion. The couple was boring and there wasn't any built-up. Moreso, I'm not sure if it was just me or not but I found her best friend Kate utterly annoying. She's so amped for the couple to fall in love, get married and settle down in Scotland with her. Like hold your breaks girl, they don't even know each other's last name and should I mention Rose is only there a little more than a week and you already have their nuptials planned. This series wasn't for me and I had to dropped this like it's hot by chapter 9 at 60%.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
What Happens in the Highlands is a lovely romantic story. It's witty, honest and entertaining. Well written and populated with likeable and realistic characters, this book is fun to read. Highly recommended.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through LibraryThing. The opinions expressed in this review are my own

This was an enjoyable romance with very descriptive views in Scotland. I received this book for free and I voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 4* rating and not for the under 18 readers. Way too many things centered around sex for my liking, but it was pretty interesting about ruins and landscape. It didn't start out real happy but by the ending there is a happy ending.
