The Chattan Curse

review 1: (July) While this could potentially be read as a stand alone, this is the 3rd and last of the series and reads better if you read the two that preceed it first. The Macnachtan clan's ancestor, a witch, placed a curse on the Chattan clan when Charles Chattan spurned Rose Macnachtan to follow his family's wishes and marry another. Rose jumped to her death, and her mother placed the curse before jumping to her own death on her daughter's funeral pyre. The curse states that when any male Chattan falls in love, he will die. This curse has lasted for several generations, unti the current generation, Neal, Harry, and Margaret decide they will not fall in love and thus, ending their family line, will end the curse. In short order, both Neal and Harry fall in love (Lyon's Brid... moree and The Scottish Witch), leaving Margaret to travel to see the clan Macnachtan and see if she can figure out a way to end the curse. Beautiful Margaret is cold and aloof and scared and determined to save her brothers, both of whom are slowly dying. When she meets Laird Heath Macnachtan, sparks fly but as one who does not believe in love, she ignores her feelings and tries to figure out how to break the curse. While I think the story was a bit slow at first, it picked up towards the middle and sped up towards a completely satisfactory end where love conquers all. Not the best I've read from Cathy Maxwell, but a nice trilogy just the same.
review 2: In England, Lady Margret Chattan is known as the Unattainable because she spurns all male attention; little do people know it's because of the curse upon her family. Now, because of the curse, she has come to the Highlands in search of the source in order to save her brothers' lives. Heath Macnachtan is laird of the clan which is the source of the curse but doesn't believe in it. As Lady Margret and Heath get to know each other, is it the curse or love that binds them together? less
