I received an ARC of this book and was extremely excited because I enjoyed the first book Under His Kilt so much. Due to my love of the first book I worried that this one would not live up to my expectations. Boy was I wrong! Not only did it live up to them it exceeded them. The story was a lot more emotional than the first one and I was not prepared for the rollercoaster of emotions it brought on.The h/h, Keri and Tristan were well developed and I really got a sense of who they were very early on. Ms. Blue so masterfully wrote these characters that I literally felt their aches, their doubts and don’t get me started on their chemistry! The love scenes were so hot that I had to stop reading a few times and get a cold glass of water.Keri is intelligent with a quick, sarcastic wit that I really related to. This was a woman that had allowed men to get into her head and made feel less than she was. We have all been there at one time or another making her seem so relatable she could be your sister or girlfriend.Tristan is everything you want your hero to be; sexy, strong and confident and knows how to work a woman’s body! Yet it was the tortured soul within him that won my heart. How can you not love a man who wants so desperately to be deemed good enough for his woman but realizes that the demons of his past are too much to conquer? At the end of chapter 12 he says something that had me in tears. His anguished desire leaped off the page and I really felt like I was a voyeur into his heart.Ms. Blue has created another amazing well written story and for me it is her best yet. I hope that she provides updates on the characters in future books because they are worthy of revisiting.
