How to Abduct a Highland Lord by Karen Hawkins

Fiona (not sure of her age), but if she was 20 when they had their love affair she would now be 35. He is 37 years old now and living the horn dog life. They ended up not marrying during their short romance and this story picks up FIFTEEN years later. In this story Jack was 22 when he meet and fell in love with Fiona.

I am not a fan of the trope where the Hero and heroine being separated for years. Didn't enjoy it at all.ģ.5 stars romance 4 stars for the story telling. Then there's a crazy assassination attempt and crazy nefarious plot out of nowhere, but it was way too late to save the book.Įgh, this one was a totally frustrating read. So yes, he does try to reform a little post marriage and do humane things like, I don't know, remember the name of a butler who's been with him 12 years, but then again, we have scenes where the heroine is forced to go to gaming hells to gain a husband's attention, who doesn't give a crap- and when she refuses to obey him, he flirts with his ex-married-stalking-mistress- while she's forced to do the same with another lout. Seduces her and falls asleep snoring- because that's what he does after a 'good romp' Doesn't inform his staff that he's married, inadvertently making them treat his wife like a whore Post wedding night is drunk and gambling Goes after wedding night to another woman (and doesn't sleep with her but who cares) Breaks up with heroine because he wasn't able to give up his mistress despite taking her virginity Now, there are many a heroes I have detested but Jack, oh Jack how I disliked you. When her brother Cameron dies because of a feud between Macleans and Kincaids, she decides to take the matters into her own hand and marry Jack the wastrel and who was her first love. The blurb was the reason I chose this book, but how was I to know that the despicable, drunk lout escaping married women's bed in the prologue would be the hero?!įiona is a Maclean, a clan cursed with controlling weather unless they can do one good deed. 'How to abduct a Highland Lord' is the story of Jack and Fiona.
