I read the highlanders the other day and omg it is gold.
Here are some highlights:
1. The doctor in drag and Polly genuinely complimenting him,
2. Polly immediately lezzing out with Kirsty and have their first date torturing a man and robbing him of not only his money, but also his hair
3. Blackmailing and manipulating this man for the entire book just for him to confess his love to Polly at the end and let her keep the piece of hair she cut
4. Jamie pointing his sword at the doctor as soon as they meet and yet the doctor is IMMEDIATELY kinder and more gentle to him than he has been to anyone
5. The doctor knocking some guy’s head against a table and saying on shit you get headaches? Lie down with your eyes closed for an hour and any knocking you hear is in your head (he put another guy in a storage closet)
6. Ben, Polly, and the doctor leaving the ship after it’s taken over and Polly saying “I wish we said goodbye to Jamie” and he appears from beneath some fabric and says I’m here !! Even though he knows he we will almost certainly die when they get back to Scotland
7. The doctor describing Jamie as “the one with a soft face and hands and hair” despite barely spending any time with him at all, except when Jamie was about to kill him, they were about to be killed together, then when Jamie got so angry with him he tried to kill him again.
8. Polly asking if they can keep Jamie like he’s a stray dog and the doctor saying yeah if he teaches me to play the bagpipes and Ben saying NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anyways 10/10 highly recommend
