Highland games just got serious!
How to Marry a Highlander (The McTiernay's #8) by Michele Sinclair
The story started off with a somewhat predictable set of circumstances. Wild highland gal, daughter of a nasty clan chief takes some time out for naked (of course) bathing, only to be disturbed by gorgeous, strapping highland warrior. They end up in lust in the water. There you go! Those ravenous, feisty highlanders, untamed and untrammeled!
So that was all a bit sudden, but maybe understandable if you've been kept apart or kept yourself apart, either physically or emotionally from others. After all I am reading a romantic highlander historical novel! So suck up the improbables and read on.
I rather think their initial encounter was mutually agreed seduction, and not too much of the "mysterious firebrand tempting [Dugan] with her wicked ways!" "Her" being Adanel Mackbay. Dugan is a commander of the McTiernay clan and women apparently fall all over him. Let's just say their affair took on its own secretive and mysterious life that they enjoyed. Unfortunately confession time pertaining to their real identities was interrupted and became the source of misunderstanding and wrath.
As we went further into the narrative I found myself enjoying the characters of Adanel and Dugan.
Despite being somewhat predicable in places their situation and the slowly won solutions became quite intriguing.
The last part I did not see coming. Interesting and somewhat whimsical. I added .5 for that alone.
An enjoyable read despite the somewhat shaky premise of Adanel and Dugan's initial encounter.
