Once he gave his heart to Isabella, that was it for him. I loved the intensity with which Mac loves Isabella. Then he'd return and Isabella would forgive him, and they'd be deliriously happy for awhile, until the cycle would start again. He'd disappear for weeks or months at a time, sometimes without a word about where he'd gone or when he'd return. Which would then cause major fights between them, leading Mac to believe she needed a break from him. Mac's loud personality often eclipsed Isabella, causing her to withdraw. But early in their marriage, that wasn't enough to over come their personality flaws. There's no doubt that Isabella and Mac love each other. This novel is refreshing because it explores the adage that "sometimes love isn't enough". The buzz about The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie made me think I wouldn't be disappointed, however, and I was right. Since this is the first book I'd ever read by Ashley, I wasn't sure what to expect. This is the second book in Jennifer Ashley's Highland Pleasures series, but I read this book first.
