Favorite Quote: “He also loved that they had a lifetime stretched out before them for him to find more things that he loved about her. He had a notion he would never stop finding things to love about Hannah Glenn. 

Summary: Hannah Glenn has quit her job and broken up with her slacker of a boyfriend. She is ready for a change and moves to her family's rural ranch to think about her next steps. At a visit to a Ren Faire with her close friend, Hannah indulges her friend by buying a love spell from a witch’s booth. Unexpectedly. This spell not only brought Hannah a man but brought Hannah a man named Graham MacNeil, straight from his uncle’s stables in 1745, Scotland. With six months until they can get him back to his time, they’ll have to find a way to introduce Graham to the 21st century and learn to live with each other. 

Review:I really enjoy his book. Hannah is always taking care of everything, and everyone, and all she wants is for someone to care for her. Graham had been raised with the values of honor and duty and sees it as his responsibility to provide and care for Hannah. I admired Hannah’s independence and Graham’s humbleness. I really liked the premise, and the idea that Hannah’s ideal man is a Scottish highlander from the 1700s is both humorous and an interesting commentary of what is valued in significant other changes over time, as well as commentary on how the perception of beauty and beauty standards is constantly shifting I loved how Graham started to think about improving the business at the family ranch and watching him put down permanent roots really sent a clear message to the reader about where Graham was at in the relationship.I wish Hannah’s relationship with her family was expanded upon further because I feel there was some untapped potential there. Hannah was very relatable, and her experiences as a fat woman were not only relatable but significant to the plot and overall message. 
 I did find that the writing came off as juvenile despite the very adult content. I also thought that a lot of the bonding between Hannah and Graham was done ‘off-screen’; we are told that they watched movies to modernize Graham, but we don’t actually get to experience that bonding which lessened the emotional intimacy between Hannah and Graham as well as my emotional investment. The pacing was a little off, I feel like the story started in an odd spot.
. I really enjoyed this read, and I do look forward to more from Mary Warren!
