| Caledonia knew there was treasure on the bottom of Loch Tay. After all she'd lived there most of her life, and earned her living as a deep sea salvage expert. So she trusted her instincts, and her instincts were screaming. After some spectral intervention, Caledonia finds her treasure. She just didn't expect it to be a two hundred year old Highlander named Struan MacKinnon, who turned to stone during the day, and set her blood on fire at night.
Although I did enjoy this book, it didn't have the same electricity as the previous two MacKinnon stories. I really thought the heroine in this book was terrific and liked her a great deal. She was strong, and independent, with a strong sense of right and wrong, but a taste for adventure. I liked Struan, but I didn't connect with him as much. Maybe because he didn't have to face the danger and roadblocks, Ian and Gavin faced. It was a good, solid read and well worth the time invested, and if I hadn't been so thrilled with the first two books, I wouldn't have had such high expectations. That happens with a good series sometimes. They can't all be homeruns, some turn out to be base hits. Cursed Laird did offer up some excellent hints about who the next brothers might be. Evidently, there are a set of twins named Dour and Donnell who might have been spotted. I would love that, and the evil MacGillivray is still lurking about, just waiting to cause trouble. This is still a series I recommend and I am looking forward to the next book.
