| Jenna Blake has always been a bit of a maverick. She is a determined and independent woman. But everyone except her best friend think she’s crazy when she buys her own ancient castle in Scotland. She is a master carpenter so the hard work to modernize the castle doesn’t faze her at all. No it’s the ghost the villagers think will run her off. Laird Logan MacKenzie is cursed to spend eternity in his keep and he’s been determined not to share it with anyone. Logan comes to admire Jenna’s determination, feeling a reluctant attraction as well as a deep passionate urge to protect her. Jenna is not about to let this hard-headed, drop-dead-gorgeous creature make her abandon her dreams. In fact she can’t help b! ut to fantasize wild lusty dreams that star her Highland ghost. When mysteries in the castles secret passages come to light Jenna makes some heart-breaking discoveries about why Logan lives to hide the secrets of his keep. The legends of dark deeds, vengeful magic, murder and curses were all true. But Jenna is also determined to find a way to break the curse.
WOW! This one has it all – wildly romantic, it’s set in contemporary Scotland with beautiful scenery, friendly natives, a supposedly haunted castle, a gorgeous Highlander or two, a plucky heroine, scrappy sidekicks and a love that saves the day! I found I couldn’t put it down as I wanted to find out how Jenna and Logan might break the curse and what would happen with the castle. The lusty attraction between these two was well drawn out with very arousing love scenes that flowed with the plot and enhanced the romantic storyline. It seemed that it was fated for them to find each other. The secondary characters filled out the story and made it an engaging read. If every ghostie turned out like Logan MacKenzie I’d want a castle of my own! Laird MacKenzie’s Curse is an excellent story for all lovers of paranormal romances set in the Scottish highlands.
