How To Abduct A Highland Lord

- Karen Hawkins -

My historical romance experiment continues... picked this one up because I enjoyed one of this authors' contemporaries (Talk of the Town), and mostly enjoyed it!

The happy ending happens a little inexplicably - I would have liked to read more about their prior relationship because as it is, it seems like Jack goes from happily whoring around to happily married fairly abruptly (there is no indication he wanted a change in his lifestyle before Fiona tricked him into marriage), it seemed liked there was a lot glossed over or ignored with regards to Jack's relationship with his family and I wish Fiona seemed to have more inner conflict over what she is forced to do to end the feud, but overall I mostly enjoyed the characters, the story moved quickly and the larger family relationships of the McLeans and Jack's household (ie: the butler and the housekeeper being gobsmacked when Fiona announces herself as lady of the house) were fun to read.
