Who doesn’t love a good time-travel historical romance? I know I do…But. I couldn’t quite get into Elaine Coffman’s Lord of the Black Isle – there were so many references to events and characters from previous books in the series that I got all muddled up and confused. Also, some of the dialog was more of a monologue, and that lost my attention, too.I liked David and would’ve wanted to get to know him better – he seems like he’d be the perfect historical romance hero. And his sister Ailis is pretty interesting, I liked her way more than Elisabeth who was a bit too dry and alternated between being headstrong and wimpy. I made it 160 pages before giving up on this one…drey’s rating: Did not finish.
