How to Abduct a Highland Lord - Karen Hawkins
I loved the premise of this book - a fiery highland lass whom decides to single-handedly end a long standing feud between her family (the McLeans) and the Kincaids by abducting and marrying a reluctant Kincaid male.
The premise was better than the book itself. I was able to quickly finish the book and did not really dislike it as much as I felt it didn’t deliver as much as it could. I was a bit disappointed.
Fiona MacLean had jilted Jack Kincaid when they young because of her meddling brothers and a slight misunderstanding. Jack went on to become a womanizing rake, earning his nickname Black Jake Kincaid.
Fifteen years later, one of Fiona’s brothers was accidentally killed. The blame is placed on the Kincaid family. In order to stop the feud, Fiona executes a plan to capture and marry Jack so that her family would have to back off of the feud.
Jack is knocked unconscious, and wakes up to find himself wed to Fiona. He is angry, but they cannot deny the sparks that were always between the two.
Throw in a few attempts on Fiona’s life, Fiona’s familiar curse of involuntary weather control and a scandalous attempt to reclaim some property from the Kincaids and you have the story in a nutshell.
Grade: C
Cover - I really like the cover. However if you get a chance to look at the step inside Fiona appears to be one legged.

Hmm, a C-? It sounds like it could be a good book, I’ll add this to my TBR list but at the very bottom, thanks for the review!
