Hot & Steamy

Great book. Alpha male all the way. Wonderful new twist on this story. Women gets lost on a tour group, gets caught up in a real time war being acted out as a part of Celtic History. She believes she has stepped into the past when really she is in the present but the Laird can not stop the game or tell her the acting is for fun. So he keeps her for the month while the war is being played out. Not going to tell you the ending, find out for yourself if they stay together after the war is over. graphic, hot , spicy, easy read with excellect secondary characters. cover to cover did not put it down.

Not the usual romance

There's nothing formulaic about Laird of the Game. You don't wa]de through the entire book waiting for the hero and heroine to commit to each other. You see their love bloom without the usual angst. Yes, there's a twist and yes, there's a secret but these two are open and up-front about their feelings. I'm anxiously awaiting the stories Lori creates for the rest of these handsome, kind, intriguing brothers. I loved the Rosabel snippets and Melissa and her sisters. The book is just fun.

5 Beacon Review for LAIRD OF THE GAME

FIVE BEACON REVIEW FOR LAIRD OF THE GAME by Lori Leigh When Melissa Johnson sets off with her tour group in Scotland, the absent minded graphic artist get separated from her group a few times. She never dreams that she will wind up in the middle of a battle in 1745! Alex McKenna has shouldered the responsibility for his six brothers and the family fortune since he was eighteen years old. In the midst of the annual Laird of the Game battle, he wishes for an angel, and she appears! He rescues Melissa and brings her to his camp. In her confusion she thinks that she is actually in 1745. Alex and his men do nothing to tell her otherwise, since Alex has fallen in love and is committed to the game for the month. Melissa has a harsh introduction to the 17th century and a sweet introduction to love, if Alex can explain away his betrayal. This is a truly excellent romance for all those who love stories of the Highlands of Scotland. The countryside and people are described beautifully. The author has given us characters that are so real the reader will feel she knows them. Alex and Melissa's love story is excellent, told with sensitivity and some humor. I loved all of Alex's brothers and would love to read more about Melissa's sisters. This is a great story that I can't recommend highly enough. Reviewed by: Moe811
