A tick-the-boxes vampire romance. Scotland, check; vampires check; time-travel, check; culture clash, check, magic, check; I could continue but it's not that bad. Blythe (oh yes the Blythe Spirit thing is used on the cover) is on a holiday back to 1785 from 2339, when the world is overpopulated and longevity is taken for granted. He's Darach McKenzie, from a family of vampires who is in the castle to deal with some of the out-of-control vampires who are homing back to the castle as the ancestral home. They're attracted but not sure where this can go.

Ganymeded and Spare are organising this romance-fest and trying to matchmake. It's not quite going to plan but no plan survives the first contact with the enemy.

It's readable, fairly predicatable but entertaining. Not a keeper but not the worst I've read. Occasionally I felt like it was trying too hard but still not bad.
