THE LAIRD WHO LOVED ME by Karen Hawkins

YES! My first purchase ever online and it was to get the final book in the MacLean Curse series. I ordered it and waited impatiently for it to arrive and when it did, with other books and items, I was squealing all over my house and my family was watching me like if I was crazy, but I did not care.

After all the excitement I waited a few more days before I read the book and consumed it within one day. Happy and heart broken, they always say that the journey is what people look forward for rather than the end.(SIGH) On to my review!

The totally handsome and self-absorbed (yes, you heard me) Alexander MacLean could not handle a little lady like the lovely Caitlyn Hurst, so he orchestrated her invite to a private house party in order to seek his revenge. Why you may ask, because she "embarrassed" him in front of the entire ton. (Even though he started it!)

Caitlyn Hurst is determined to redeem herself. After her disastrous London season, she feels a great deal of regret since her twin sister had to suffer for her mistake, even if it all worked out in the end.

Caitlyn vowed that if she ever saw Alexander again, she would apologize for her misdeeds and move on, this is why she was happy to see him at the house party she was invited to. All happy thoughts felt when by one look on Alexander's face showed that he has not forgiven her, which is not fair since she was not the only one to blame.

Determined to have her way, Caitlyn decides to play a bold game with Alexander, one born from legend. They must each complete a set of "mystic" task that the one chooses for the other. If Caitlyn wins, Alexander must forgive all of her rash behaviors (which he provoked) and if Alexander wins he, of course, must have her in his bed. (Men have such a one track mind!)

Now the game is on to see who would out best the other, and with this game came fun and laughter and a silent war in the house. Believe me, this is a book that you would not want to miss out on, so go grab the book and read the final book in the MacLean Curse Series, The Laird Who Loved Me.

+Karen Hawkins is a fun and witty author that always finds a way to add humor and good fun to all her books. This is the final book in this series, which made me sad, or maybe not. The ending was not quite clear. Has the curse been broken? Not sure what I'm talking about, then get the other books in the series and read, read, read! I'll post links to my reviews of the other books at the end of my review!

As you can probably tell from my description in my review, I did not like Alexander much. He has such a big ego and thinks everything is everyone else's fault. It was like Caitlyn was stealing kisses by herself in all those weird places, he was right there along with her, he even provoked it!

He wants to ruin her, RUIN HER, just because she said out loud in front of the ton, that she would get him to propose to her, that's it. He was embarrassed and decided to ruin her just for that, not caring that it would also ruin her family too. THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT!

Caitlyn is a bit impulsive and in an earlier book, I thought she was an airhead, but she's not. She's kind and spirited and everyone loves her. All the staff loves her and every man wanted her for herself, but in a gentlemanly way of course.

All in all, Caitlyn is too good for Alexander, even though he redeemed himself to me, I think Caitlyn should have made him grovel for a few more years, but she would have suffered as well. (Sigh) The curse of love.

Now as promised, links to my reviews for the rest of the series! HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face. Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it. Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

MY CURVY VALENTINE by Sugar Jamison

This book is tied with Gentlemen Prefers Curves for the best book in this series. Maggie is such a beautiful person, but she is also clueless.

Deciding to quit her high paying job as a bio-medical engineer and to follow her fashion dreams by working in a clothing store that caters to the full figured woman like herself.

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting. Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out. Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
