Her heroine, Angelique, has a bruised heart, but a spine of steel and she uses it to survive. Camille is her only friend and her source of strength and also gives Angelique a good bootie kicking, when she needs it. Lachlan loves all women and he had to learn that only one woman is fantastic, if she is his other half. He also grateful for all the lessons he learned at the hands of his father and older brother because it made him a better Clan leader. I had this book on my tablet and it was confiscated by my daughter, due to the sparks and steam from the amazing "pull the fire alarm" scenes, but I did get it back when she went to work! Ms. Sinclair does something bold by exposes her heroine and hero's weak underbelly, but places characters in the story to help and guide them. She also begins back some of the loveable cast from her first book and introduces 2 KILT wearing Scots, Dirk and Rebbie, and I fell in love with them. This story has humor galore and is more light hearted and I loved it. Now I have to push that evil and cruel Amazon "buy" button for Dirk's story. Ms. Sinclair has totally earned my top score of 5 fingers up and 10 toes!
