The Highlander Takes a Bride by Lynsay Sands

What do you think your next listen will be? This book was a series of sex scenes with filler in between. The heroine Sade, is shot with an arrow and there is a discussion regarding what type of arrow she was shot with and the process, pull it out or push it through.yes, this was an actual discussion that took 6 minutes. There was the scene on how to have a bath, wash your hair first, then your body, so the water is clean enough to rinse your hair.bathing 101 is not what makes for a romance. I was actually expecting the author to provide details on how to walk.I put my right foot ahead of me, then I put the left foot, then I put the right foot again.etc. This was a story that was full of irrelevant details that caused it to be slow moving. What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? All said and done, I recommend this as a good read.

In my opinion, once the intial sexual rapport is achieved, repeated drawnout sex scenes are fillers and indicate lazy writing. I kind of figure one or two good sex scenes, with more implied sex than detail is better than hours/pages of steamy sex. This book had too much discriptive sex so I fast forwarded a lot. Sands writes sex scenes well and has a tendency to over do erotica in her romance novels, as do many authors. I did not give the book a 5 star rating because the herioine did not show as much pluck as she portrayed in the preceding book and there was not much of Sand's usual prevailing humor. I may not have noticed had I listened to them months apart (as they were written) but I bought and listened to them back to back. There are enough differences that it was still entertaining but there were no surprises. Stand alone, the book was good and the performance excellent but I'm finding the books in this series all have the same basic story line.
