" Having read a few Hannah Howell novels, it seems clear that she seems to follow a bit of a formula: the women are all small, the men are all big and they generally have some sort of history with women that makes the protagonist doubt if they can have a successful relationship. There also seems to be some sort of thing about cats. This novel was no exception. I did not, however, like how ridiculously stuck oh his vow Cormac was. It made it a bit hard to believe that Elspeth ever thought she could tear him away. "
