Highlander Unbound
29yo unwed mother of talkative & imaginative 9yo girl is attracted to unconvetional Scottish hero. Hero is in London to steal his family's beastie to help with their family's dwindling finances. Hero & heroine have a secret affair due to her stingy father's strict restrictions on her life. Heroine believes their affair is only temporary b/c Hero is going back to Scotland as soon as he gets the heirloom. What Hero doesn't know is that she sees his family's heirloom as her & her daughter's only chance to escape from her father's clutches.This was a funny & well-paced London book. The only exception is the Prologue, which I skipped b/c medieval stuff & history of the beastie was not interesting to me. Characters were likeable. I liked that physically-scarred Hero was alpha-malish yet often became clumsy & speechless with heroine b/c of his strong feelings for her. It was cute & funny. Heroine was feminine yet had some grit, intelligence, & patience to escape her dad. There was no a Big Misunderstanding in this book. The main conflict was about survival. Sexual chemistry & sex scenes were passionate.
Recommended.
