- WTF 2. I know I wrote some kind of review on this lol but I must have clicked around and changed the stars so the review reset? weirdness.
Anyways, I loved this book. It was cute, I laughed a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was fun in the beginning then ... I don't know what happened. Kind of boring.
Hilarious, sexy romp through the Scottish highlands. Highly HIGHLY recommend, especially if you like laughing out loud every five minutes while reading. There's a manly-man love interest, and a little slip of thing shy leading lady. Maddie, the MC is a scientific illustrator with a collection of specimens that she keeps in her studio. She's super shy, but not afraid to stand her ground when it comes to Logan, her love interest. There's a great push-pull dynamic between them, one I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
I just love Tessa Dare and her swoony leading men, and strong and funny leading ladies. This one stars Maddie, a shy (/anxiety-ridden) young woman who just wants to draw things and be left alone, who invents a fiance, Captain Logan McKenzie, in the army so that's why no one's ever seen him; and Logan, who is um, actually verra verra real (and Scottish!), and received all the fake letters that Maddie had to mail to her “betrothed” in order for her lie to be believable.
But uh oh! Logan shows up to claim what's “his,” and brings a team of down-on-their-luck soldiers fresh out of the war, who have no homes in Scotland to go back to. Conveniently, Maddie owns a lot of land, and also Logan has all her letters and can blackmail her into doing what he wants or he'll sell out her secret!
I love the secondary characters in these books, and the fun elements, like the lobsters that Maddie keeps as pets/observes for drawing purposes. They're just so great. The audio narrator was also great.
The whole Scottish genre isn't really my thing (I really don't like the phonetically-spelled dialect), but this was pretty entertaining. I wanted more Aunt Thea!
