Being a bit OCD I finished this book despite the fact that I had a lot of reservations about half way through. I certainly would not rush to read any more in this series. I was offended by what I considered a rape scene between Jamie and Claire about a third into the book. My favorite genre is historical fiction and this is more of a love story. As one friend said it's a bit like Fifty Shades of Scotland.

Kept finding excuses to read and can't wait to see what happens in the next book!

I would give it four stars if I hadn't struggled with the first half so much. The 2nd half, I loved. It took me so long to get through a lot of it. Plus I found it annoying that she 'accepted' she might get beat by her husband 'for her own good'. I guess it fits with the time she went to but it was disconcerting.
