Fair warning, this is the eighth book in a series. Please don’t read this review if you want to spoil anything. Instead, leave your computer right now and get caught up in the Outlander series. “…but Sassenach—I am the true home of your heart, and I know that.” So, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood picks up exactly where the last book ended.

Jeanne is divorced, lonely, jobless and unhappy. […]
