Customer Reviews

Not up to the standard of the others in this series

The first three books in this series were very entertaining but this one was a severe disappointment- NONE of the characters were interesting. In fact they were downright annoying. The story line was flat and dialogue dull and mawkish. Ms Hawkins is capable of much better than this!

The best of the MacLean series

This was by far the best book in the MacLean series. Not only was Hugh MacLean the best of the heroes, I felt that he was the most unique. Hugh's care for the three girls and his tragic character made him infinitely more appealing to me than any of his brothers, or than Jack Kinkaid. Catriona Hurst was, also, the best heroine of the series. Her response to the girls and their treatment of her, her response to Hugh, her whole character arc... excellent. I'm trying not to give anything away, and it's hard, because I felt that the plot was very well done and very engaging, and I want to talk about it. But suffice to say, I loved the book. This one will be on my list of re-reads and will remain on my romance shelf for a long time. While I agree with some of the other commentators, that all the weather-controlling plotting got old after awhile, I definitely thought that the way Hugh's story was told was the most unique of the five MacLean siblings, and the most interesting use of the weather-controlling power they all possess. Still, for the beauty of the love scenes alone, this book is entirely worth the read. Their very first love scene (Hugh & Catriona) was one of the best-written that I've read in a very long time. A true enjoyment. I look forward to reading much more by this author in the future.

Hugh is one of my favorite heroes!

Amid twists and turns, descriptive scenery, witty dialog, a lusty man and scholarly heroine find themselves in a situation not of their choosing. Karen pits two sensible characters striving to save their siblings from the other while getting in over their heads. After Catriana Hurst and Hugh MacLean are discovered alone, Hugh whisks her away from London's prying eyes to his Scottish estate where she discovers the man has secrets...including three daughters. Hugh became a favorite hero of mine when I saw how he interacted with his children while trying hard to be a better husband.

You have to love a hot Scottish story - #4 of the Maclean Curse Series

Hugh MacLean finds out the at Catriona sister plans to 'trap' his brother Alexander into marriage so he switches places with him in a carriage. What he doesn't know is Catriona is trying to stop her sister and ends up forced to marry Hugh... It's SOOOOO good, Enjoy! Check out the whole Maclean Curse Series; How to Abduct a Highland Lord , To Scotland, With Love , To Catch a Highlander ,Sleepless in Scotland (The MacLeans) and final book of the series The Laird Who Loved Me.

amusing yet profound curse historical romance

Catriona Hurst will do anything for her younger twin sister Caitlyn. So when her sibling plans to elope with Alexander MacLean, Triona plans to stop it somehow while her twenty years old younger brother William objects. She jumps inside Alexander's carriage. Alexander's brother Hugh MacLean plans to prevent a marriage he deems unsuitable. He uses his sibling's carriage. When Triona and Hugh are found together inside Alex's coach, they are deemed by their family and the rest of the Ton as compromised. Honor demands they marry and they do. Neither know one another so when they go to his home, Triona learns she is an instant mother as he has three daughters who demonstrate their ire towards her. As his offspring plot to drive the intruder away, Triona plots to turn them into a loving family of five and counting. The fourth MacLean curse historical romance (see TO CATCH A HIGHLANDER, HOW TO ABDUCT A HIGHLAND LORD and TO SCOTLAND, WITH LOVE) is an amusing yet profound tale. The brisk story line starts off with an As You Like It mistaken identities spin and twists from there as the three offspring (Christina, Devon and Aggie) test Triona to the limit and a bit beyond. Thus the lead five and a strong support cast make for a wonderful time though readers will be sleepless in America due to a one sitting enjoyable time. Harriet Klausner
