They were playing Nintendo games (boring) and I was looking at the pictures and knick-knacks until, a book!, saved from falling asleep! It looked like a naughty book, with its huge cover photo of the woman with a smaller picture of a couple starting to "do it." I admit, I skipped ahead until I found the, ahem, key passage and then asked my brother's friend's mom if I could borrow it. I remember exactly how I first came across it, at the home of my brother's friend. Now that I've finally stumbled across a copy at a used paperback bookstore, I see that it's classified as a plain "novel" and not a "romance." Coulda fooled me! And did, when I was a stuttering, shy, nerdy girl who wore glasses with big frames (the glasses have changed). This fine piece of writing popped my romance novel cherry manymany years ago. No one has rated or reviewed this! I'm shocked. But if she did survive, could she abandon forever the Scottish Highlands that was once her heart's home?
