MacLean Curse
review 1: When Catriona Hurst hears from her aunt, that her twin sister is in trouble, the kind that could cause a great scandal especially to the family, she rushes to London. But when told of her current scheme, Catriona tries to save her, but in the end gets caught up in a trap. Hugh MacLean finds out about Caitlyn's scheme to trap and embarrass his brother, so when he tricks a woman who looks similar to Caitlyn, not realizing its her twin sister instead. He then exchanges a passionate embrace with her not knowing who she really is. When he realizes his mistake and is caught by her family, he ends up being forced to marry her to avoid scandal that could ruin Catriona and her family. Hugh has had some painful memories with a woman that hurt him, very badly. Even though Catriona i... mores a innocent yet filled with passion, he knows that her stay is only temporary. He also worries about his three daughters, whom he doesn't want them to cling to a mother that wont be around in the distant future. But Hugh is going to get the surprise of his life, where he could lose his heart to this woman, who desperately yearns for a tender love that she has only dreamed of.I have just loved this series, and I loved reading Hugh's story in the MacLeans Curse series. This series is wonderful, the MacLeans were cursed that every one of the children is cursed with storms that are connected to their tempers. Hugh is definitely one that has a strong temper, and tends to display it often throughout the book, which can be amusing at times. I also loved the plot and the interaction between Catriona and Hugh. Catriona has always had to be the responsible one between her and Caitlyn. So when she is forced to marry trying to save her, she knows her life will never be the same. Catriona aches for a passionate and loving relationship with her new husband, but knows that he will not be making it very easy. But through the personal road of love that they are taken on, they come to a understanding that not all things go as planned especially when your heart is involved. This is one of my favorites of the series so far,although I do wish there was more interaction between Hugh and his other siblings, still it was such a delight to read, and a great love story that will make you smile, and be utterly satisfied til the very end!!!
review 2: Oh god I'm so embarrassed that I read these but there you have it: I did. And they added to my understanding of the Magick Sekrit Romance Formula, which is, as practiced in these books, as follows:1. Improbable (and overweight, interestingly enough, a reflection, I guess, of contemporary America) heroine who is nothing like any 18th century miss would be. "I won't wear corsets!" she may say, or, "I won't obey any man! I want a job!" Yeah. Uh huh. Good luck in 1750 with that attitude. 2. Preposterous situation that would never happen in any century, resulting in 3. Forced propinquity and isolation together for a few days, during which there is 4. A lot of heavy petting despite averred loathing and even more cute repartee.5. Crisis! Damsel in distress! Hero loves her now! 5. Happily ever after. These follow the formula admirably. And for what they are, they aren't bad. Well, this one is better than the other one. The trick here is to read them really, really quickly, preferably with a hangover, so that you don't notice any of the truly glaringly awful parts. But they're kind of cute, they're kind of charming and they go down sweetly. less
