To Catch a Highlander – MacLean Curse 3 – Karen Hawkins
4.0 / 5.0
Heat 7/10
Genre HR, Regency, PNR
In this series of books, all the members of one family have been cursed for generations. When they get angry they cause storms. The worse their anger, the worse the storm gets. Losing their temper could cause death and destruction (and has). The H of this book is a middle brother in the cursed family (Dougal).
The h in this book (Sophia) is the daughter of a pair of adventuring gamblers. The mother died a few years ago and the father just gambled away their home. He lost it to the H. In preparation for the new owner coming to look at the house, the h and her father do everything they can to make it look awful. When the H arrives he is treated to lumpy beds, chimneys that smoke, chairs that break and food that is inedible. The problem is, he overheard their plan when he arrived, so he doesn’t react to any of this. There was a lot about this book that made me smile and snicker.
For me, this was a feel good book. I liked all the characters. I thought the plot had some unique twists to it. There was a bit of steamy intimacy, but not too much. My only complaint was that I thought the ending was rushed. I would have loved another 30-40 pages. Everything was tied up in a hurry when I wanted to savor it.
