Actually, it was a Lord John fanfic by Elfscribe that led me to read Galbadon to begin with (a couple of years before the author made an ass out of herself). I was not about to read a romance novel set in Scotland--read enough of those in dentist's offices and break-rooms at work to last me the rest of my life and never read one I minded leaving on table 20 pages into it and never looking back. Never say never though--I really liked the first book in the Outlander series and Lord John--what a charmer!
