What happens next is what would happen if I found myself
with a strapping young Highlander: they’re on each other like white on rice. So
much so it takes them like two weeks to get to MacKay’s land, which, well, is a
good deal longer than it should have taken Cam to return. What is soon learned
by Cam and Joan is that Joan is not the nameless commoner she thought she was.
Joan is actually the niece of MacKay; and once this bit is learned, Cam
realizes he must marry her…despite the fact he spent the last two weeks telling
her how he was never marrying again. And Joan certainly wasn’t expecting
anything, being the little nobody she thought she was two weeks ago. Of course,
nor did she want to be Cam’s mistress and then have him break her heart. They were
going to part ways when they got to the MacKay’s; and now that is impossible.
It’s hardly a marriage of convenience when you start falling in love with each
other, right?
Meanwhile, Cam’s mother has still been operating under the
assumption that her son won’t marry again—and keeps the castle full of
marriageable girls in order to tempt him to change his mind. This seems
benign—comical even once you meet the women—except that it appears the women
are not that thrilled that some little nobody from nowhere has captured Cam…and
Joan is nearly killed three different times before the real culprit is
revealed. Figuring out who did it definitely kept the pages turning rapidly for
me and I was a little shocked.
Action-packed, sexy, and full of surprises—it was a very
charming read.
