Book Reviews of Kilgannon

Book Review: A Nice Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars

I LOVED this book! and I plan to go right out and read the sequel. Yes, there are the inevitable comparisons to Gabaldon's OUTLANDER series. I confess, I am even guilty of thinking "hey this book reminds me of Gabaldon's" but I think in doing so I do Ms. Givens a huge disservice. There are pracically hundreds of books out there written about handsome higlanders, pretty englishwomen and the jacobite uprisings. What makes this book seem like it is so similar to Gabaldon's is because Ms. Givens 1) writes very well and 2) there is a bit more complexity in her characters than one usually finds in most historical romances. I like how Robert Campbel, Mary's other suitor isn't made to seem all evil or bufoonish or boring. Instead he is handsome, accomplished and all too humanly flawed. I think it is great that Ms. Givens not only manages to make her main characters lively, interesting and 3 dimensional, but that she also can do this with secondary characters as well. I look forward to the sequel to this story (it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger) and I definitely plan to keep my open for other books by this author.
