The second in her Under the Kilt Series, Melissa Blue brings us Keri and Tristan.  Those who are familiar with Under His Kilt will see the family ties as Keri is Jocelyn's cousin and Tristan is Ian's brother. Both Keri and Tristan are at loose ends without any major commitments, so filling in and impersonating a married couple to help out their more settled relations will also help them turn a corner into the lives that they want.Keri is clever and quick, with a bad habit for choosing men who leave her feeling insecure: yet her optimism and sarcastic wit manages to conceal many of her doubts.  A more emotionally charged read than the first book, Keri has a way of endearing herself to everyone: even those who are trying to not be affected.Tristan is Ian's wastrel brother, much of his life has been spent playing the long con, even though he wants to lose that way of life and the danger it entails. But changing is never easy, and Tristan is worried that no matter how much he changes in the now, his past will always make him less desirable.Together, Keri and Tristan have a chemistry that shoots off the charts. Interactions between them are often fun and funny, with some moments of emotion that will bring tears and giggles with equal abandon.  And their chemistry leads to some smoking hot scenes, even with the clever asides...Maybe she would have an orgasm, and then she wondered how many women couldn't climax. She'd researched the number once and was astounded. Eighty percent? Ninety-five? He briefly lifted his head and muttered, "Seventy-five percent"If that doesn't get you laughing and then wondering - nothing will.Melissa Blue has given us a story full of heart, steam and healing: of course these two deserve a happy ever after, but will it be for them together or apart?  I would suggest that you have read the first book in the series, only to get more of Blue's writing: and it will help to understand the introduction of Keri and Tristan, but once those issues are sorted out (about 20% in) you really aren't missing any pertinent information.I purchased a copy of this title for my own library: no review was expected or requested. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
