But when Mairi is threatened by a blackmailer, Jack is the only man who can protect her. As they work together to uncover where the danger lies, their passion reignites. Little by little, the masks they wear burn away, and their most private secrets come to light…
Scottish Brides – Where Regency elegance meets Highland passion!
REVIEW
5 out of 5 for this reader folks!
OH MY! Nicola Cornick gets a little naughty! I LOVE IT! 🙂
One Night with the Laird is the second book in her Scottish Brides series. We were introduced to Jack in her first book so we already have a taste of his bad boy, tortured soul, attractive and compelling self. I was really looking forward to his book and I feel extremely satisfied with his story. Nicola Cornick didn’t take the easy way out and pair him up with a sweet virginal woman who can change his wicked ways … nope … she went with a woman who is herself tortured, unapologetic and his perfect match! Lady Mairi MacLeod.
After one night of crazy, uninhibited passion, Mairi wakes to discover that her lover under the mask just so happens to be a man she has promised to stay away from. Jack Rutherford. Knowing this will only bring drama, she sneaks out and disappears for months. Jack cannot shake this encounter from his mind. He is completely distracted with thoughts and questions about his one night stand.
When Mairi and Jack are invited to a house party, Jack comes to realize who Mairi is. She is not only the pain in his rear, stick up her butt, proper lady whom he can’t stand, she is the woman who insisted he cut of her clothes, raked her nails down his back, sweet smelling perfect woman. Now he needs to truely conquer and seduce her. Perhaps though, Mairi is the seducer and is always keeping Jack on his toes.
When a blackmailer comes into the picture threatening to spill the beans on secrets that Mairi hold close, Jack feels it necessary to protect her. Danger lurks as these two find their way to peace together, but not before the fires are stoked and both become so invested in the other, it rewrites all they stood for.
Okay … this book straddled the line between romance and erotica. If you read erotica, you will likely not be surprised but if you don’t, there are a few scenes that may go beyond what one is use to reading in this genre. I happen to absolutely love that and have to say the chemistry between these two almost blew up my e-reader. LOL I was sucked right into the story, fell in love with both lead characters, and enjoyed their journey to each other.
HAPPY READING! 🙂
