3.0 out of 5 stars Great tension and heroine, lacking hero, 22 Mar 2007
A very long time ago, Black Jack McKaid and Fiona McLean had a fling. It ended in tears, but neither forgot each other. Fiona's brothers (who are all intriguing) are set to go to war with Jack's family over the suspicious death of their brother. This part of the story seemed a little wobbly to me. To prevent a war, Fiona decides to kidnap Jack and marry him. Jack is not pleased by these events and tries his hardest to prove to Fiona that marriage will not change his darker, notorious habits (namely gambling, fighting and whoring). The battle of wills and the curse of the MacLeans (namely the power to cause rain due to their emotions!) do produce some laugh out loud moments.
I didn't feel like I wasted my time reading this book, but just that Black Jack lacked intensity and was not really an interesting character. The endless harping on of Jack's prowess in bed and his continous comparisions to the women before who did not matter did not really help either. Old Jack didn't seem to have much else in his brain except for the ladies and the love scenes were bland - not a lot of evidence of his prowess, for sure.
Three stars for Fiona, a nice heroine, the humourous bits, and the tension Fiona experienced around Jack.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing book - lacking humour, wit, romance and depth! , 25 Mar 2008
By Stella Balogh (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
I picked up this book because of the fun and cute cover that grabbed my eye and then when I read the plot, it made me chuckle: a spitfire heroine who abducts the hero and ties him up to force him to marry her! That's quite an unusual way for a romance novel! Usually it is always the heroine who is forced to marry, so it was interesting to see that Karen Hawkins took an unique spin on this storyline and I was intrigued to see how she would pull it off. But what a disappointment this book was!

It wasn't funny nor cute (which the very nice cover and the jacket blurb led me believe it would be), the story was shallow and Karen Hawkins didn't make any effort to make her characters 3D and interesting, she kept them one dimensional and simple, the "twists and turns" in the storyline were forced and not even surprising, I seriously regret spending those few hours I spent reading this. I tried to warm to the heroes and though there were a few characteristics that made me like them and root for them, I think it's the author's fault that she didn't give us enough to fall in love with them. The romance part was kept basic and simple too: one moment the hero and the heroine realise they are in love with each other, but you can't see what or how they came to love each other. There is no character transformation, yes it is stated that just with a snap of fingers Jack the gambling and unfaithful playboy wants to forsake London and his previous lifestyle and "bury himself" in the Scottish countryside and become an exemplary husband and family man. Which wouldn't be so unbelievable, I have seen such transformation completely credible in other stories, but here the author just states he was a new man, but doesn't show how and why he came to be so different.

This book lacks humour, wit, romance, character and storyline depth, so everything that makes a story a good one.

If you'd like to read a good, funny and cute Scottish romance I'd rather suggest you read some Julie Garwood (The Secret, The Wedding..) than waste your time and money with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good read, 20 Mar 2008
By S. Royles "book mad" (conwy, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved Jack... I wish I could let my husband know I was in a bad mood by causing a storm, it would save time! The 1st in a series, which are all good, I can't wait for the last 2 brothers story. Worth reading!!
