In the conclusion to the MacLean Curse series, Karen Hawkins masterfully weaves a tale of desire and yearning, tempered with resentment and doubt. Laird Alexander MacLean and Miss Caitlyn Hurst meet again after a brief but disastrous London flirtation at a house party. The two headstrong protagonists challenge each other to a quest with stakes that will change their lives forever.
Hawkins does an exceptional job of personifying her characters; the struggles, both internal and external that they face feel realistic and utterly believable. These characters are humans, with both strengths and very real flaws. Indeed, it is their shortcomings that make Alexander and Caitlyn so compelling to follow.
This book, while able to be read on it’s own, ties in heavily with the previous book in the series, Sleepless in Scotland, where Caitlyn’s actions have serious repercussions for both her sister and MacLean’s brother.
Overall, a fun, fast-paced read with believable characters and an exciting premise. Would definitely recommend.
