This book is part of a series and I made the mistake of reading it out of order. It is the 5th book and I have only read the 1st so far. I hate when I do that. I think I would have liked it much better had I read the previous books.
I felt lost throughout most of the story but the gist of the story came through. I enjoyed the byplay of the characters. Alexander MacLean sets out to ruin Caitlyn Hurst because of some past involvement that forced his brother to marry. While he plans to ruin he, he doesn’t plan to fall in love with her.
The first book in this authors new Inferno Club series. I would classify this as a typical romance read. The Marquess of Rotherstone is a man with a bad reputation and a family with a equally bad track record. It is time to do his duty to his family and marry. He has his man of business seek out eligible ladies to marry which will enhance his reputation. Of course Daphne Starling is on this list however, there is a huge warning that she may not be appropriate. As with Romance land, of course he fall for the worst likely candidate. There is not much more to the story other than he is the typical good guy who cultivates a bad image as cover. She is the plucky heroine who demands more from her man, even when he tries to keep his secrets to protect her.
Number 3 in the trilogy of the modern day Creed Clan. Three brothers Logan, Dylan and Tyler grew up under an alcoholic father and a long line of step moms. They were united as youths but had a major fight after their father was killed in an accident. They have long since gone their separate ways.
This is a new author for me. I wish I could say I liked the book, but it jumped along too fast with no build up.
Jane Drysdale is driving along in her car with tubs of erotic toys from her second job of “adult toy parties” when she runs over a rabbit and is suddenly transported to another land. She mets up with Charle who is a straight laced and sort of interesting character and is swept up in one adventure to another.
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.
A cute list on meeting Mr. Right. This is a short but witty piece with 781 short quips. A good book when you have a few minutes to spare. It took me about 20 minutes to read while waiting for my daughter after a volleyball game.
