If Emily hadn't gone to Annie Richmond's party, she would never have met the impossibly irresistible Rory Balniel; would never have married him and been carried off to the wild Scottish island of Irasa to live in his ancestral home along with his eccentric mother, Coco, and the dog, Walter Scott. She'd never have met the wild and mysterious Marina, a wraith from Rory's past, nor her brother, the disagreeable Finn Maclean; never have spent a night in a haunted highland castle, or been caught stealing roses in a see-through nightie... Yes, it all started at Annie Richmond's party.

I love Jilly Cooper's funny language and admire her storytelling ability. This volume contains two love stories. I gave it four stars, all o which mainly go to Emily. It's a story about a London girl who falls fast for a dashing but difficult artist, marries him and moves to Scotland. In Scotland married life turns out to be less than pleasant slightly "gothic", as Emily starts to wonder about her husband's motives. Cooper's writing is full of puns and really enjoyable. Bella was okay as a story, and the writing is funny as well, but I don't like its naive heroine.
