4.0
Rating- 4 Very Good
Heat- 2.5 Several scenes but not much detail
Overall series rating- 3.5
Troupes- Unrequited love for H, h returns all grown up, H jealous over h being courted by others,
I enjoyed the previous two books in this series, but Mad, Bad, Dangerous in Plaid was so much fun.
Winnie MacLawry grew up in the Highlands surrounded by not just her 3 brothers but by the guy she idolized, Lachlan. She was determined they would marry one day and chased him relentlessly. Since he was 8 years older and loved her like a sister, he tried to walk a fine line between being kind but not encouraging her. Winnie's other wish was to be a true lady and go to London. At the age of 18, that wish was granted ( It was during this time that the first 2 books in the series take place.). Winnie spent 3 months in London and got to have her very own Season. She learned how to bury her Highlands accent. She learned how to converse with proper gentlemen. She learned that she loved plays and poetry. Most of all, she learned that what she felt for Lachlan had been nothing more than childhood infatuation.
Winnie is returning to her home in the Scotland's for her brother's wedding, but she isn't coming alone. She brought her friends along, including several English Lord's. Her brother has also invited some Highland Lords he would like her to consider for marraige. She has more than enough to distract her from Lachlan if her infatuation returns, but she is sure that it won't since Lachlan is nothing like the refined man she wants to marry. Now, if only he would agree to leave her alone. It seems Lachlan was a bit shocked by his feelings upon seeing her again. Now it is him in pursuit of her.
Oh, let us count the things I loved about this book.
1) Yes, it was full of tropes, but troupes don't bother me. I loved the story of a girl returning a changed woman to the guy who never payed attention to her.
2) But here is a way it turned the troupe on its head, Lachlan knew Winnie HADNT changed like she wanted to believe.
3) We got to see the girl who spent years chasing after a man that clearly didn't want her become the one who was strongly pursued.
4) Lachlan's confusion over how he felt about Winnie
5) Highlander contests
