When Lydia Barratt discovers the hot Scot she met on her way to the post office is her new neighbor the last thing she expects is that he's just one member of a clan of warlocks. Erik MacGregor isn't looking for his true love when he meets Lydia but there's a pull between them he can't ignore. When an evil presence decides it wants to use Lydia to hurt the MacGregors, spells and sparks fly.If you don't care for a man in a kilt then this one is probably not for you. But this nifty blend of Scottish charm and magic is a really fun ride. While I'll admit Erik did things I personally found unredeemable more than once it was the only big flaw. Lydia is a bit of a shut-in for some reason and Erik kind of pulls her out of her shell in ways so I enjoyed the contrast between them. Erik I kind of wanted to punch in the face regularly because he pulls a few stunts that I would throat punch a guy for doing IRL. If he hadn't pulled them it would have took the conflict out of the story but still... not cool.The rest of the clan, however, were really amusing and if you love a good family-is-always-into-your-business situation in a romance you'll like the MacGregors. I don't think it's been decided yet if there will be more installments of the MacGregor Warlocks so keep your fingers crossed. There are a lot of secondary characters that would make for more fun with magical, funny, sexy times. It has a certain Kenyon-esque quality that I think a lot of readers will love. This was my first read from Pillow but I think I'm going to have to see what else she has out there because this was just plain good fun.Notes: ARC received via publisher.
