The entire first book is basically about how she ends up married to this young innocent highlander who ends up trading a one night stand with the Evil Gay(!) Englishman in order to save her sorry ass. I mean - come on! Reality needed here!! He ends up being poor dutiful self-sacrificing husband cause she's Miss Time Travelling Thang.

My thoughts exactly. I downloaded this book free but never finished it. It is a favorite of one of my sister's haughty friends. I mistakenly thought she would have high standards in reading material. I'm glad to hear others felt the same way about it as I did since I assumed I was just too unrefined to appreciate it.
Prior to reading Outlander, my Ultimate Snoozefest Award went to:
