ADR S&S Book Review:
Kilts, Castles, Romance and Ghosts – This book has it all!
As a fan of Outlander and, well, men in kilts in general, I was eager to crack the virtual spine of this Scotland based contemporary romance. Our heroine, Katelyn O’Neal, has found herself by way of inheritance, the proud owner of a real life Scottish castle. Perfect, since she needs a ton of money and fast, in order to pay for an experimental cancer treatment that will save her twelve-year-old niece’s life. All she has to do is fly to Scotland, make a few arrangements, and be on her way. Not even the charms of Golden-Haired, Most Fair, Prince Rod of Lachlan, or Rod MacKenzie as he’s known in social circles, will sway her from her goals.
However, a pair of ghosts are hanging around, having been cursed to haunt the halls of Lachlan until a first born MacKenzie male inherits the castle. After 500 years, they’re tired of waiting, and with the sale of the castle pending, they must use drastic measures to see that their curse be broken.
This story was full of well-developed characters and spectral shenanigans that had me cheering and boo-hissing at all the appropriate moments. One of those rare books that kept me up way past my bed time. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.
