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.
The later books also seem to change the poor guy's profession every book, and have his time-travelling wife drop in on him and he drops his current relationship to take up with her again, cause she's his "One True Love" (need a vomiting smiley to insert here).
(END SPOILER)
Overall, the whole series not only draaags on, but the plot line is ridiculous unless you are an over emotional naive teen! (Twilight fans would probably love it!)

I just could not get past
Outlander, I read it because a then GF wanted me to and I did. It was a chore to read such a badly written bunch of nonsense. The time traveling was silly and the stereo typical Jamie was absurd. Once she was back in the Highlands, it went downhill from there.
