Description de l’éditeur
William MacGregor will lie, spy, and happily die to protect his clan from their greatest enemy. But when he kidnaps the wrong woman, he triggers the very events he’d been working so hard to prevent. And puts everyone in danger.
Rose Thatcher will do anything to protect her lady and return them both safely to English soil. But the damn Highlander who snatched her off the docks has done nothing but get in her way. She’d love to ditch the bastard, but if they want to save their respective loved ones, they are going to have to stay together.
Somewhere along the grueling journey to Scotland, their constant bickering turns into something more. Something worth fighting for. But how can an English lady’s maid, who longs for the safe, comfortable life she had in London, find love with a Highlander who can’t wait to wipe England’s dust off his feet? If they can’t defeat the enemy they accidentally led home, they might not live long enough to find out.
Each book in the MacGregor Lairds series is STANDALONE:
* How to Lose a Highlander
* How to Ensnare a Highlander
* How to Blackmail a Highlander
* How to Forgive a Highlander

Finding their Home
Michelle McLean is a new-author to me, it is the blurb which attracted me first.
As I’m a self taught reader in English language, stories with Scottish brogue are not always my favorite as I struggle sometime at reading it (don’t talk to me to listen to an audio version, it would be sexy but like listening to Chinese!), but here I had no difficulties.
But first I loved it was about commoners, for once no laird nor lady but a simple highlander loyal to his kin and a maid ready to fight with teeth and claws for her charge.
Sure William seems to be wreaking havoc in his wake, having not read the three previous installments, I can only trust his words. But it is certain than despite his good intentions, he make a muddle of things. So I quite understand why he felt so defeated and so not deserving but he does not see he does good even in his mistakes, he was ready to die to save his laird’s wife, and her friend.
Rose is a her-head-screwed-straight kind of girl, she gives a thought before taking any action, she is not easily confused, only when around William, she looses her temper.
When close, each arises the worst and best in the other, they can’t stop to argue or bicker but also feel stronger when together and are drawn to another.
They tried to fight their attraction, because worst than their constant nagging at another, there is their origins, she longs for London when he only wants to go back to Scotland among his kind or serve them.
« “But you’re as human as the rest of us. No one is infallible, Will. And you’ve since saved my life—more than once.” »
It was a slow burn story as the author took time to give them moments to get to know the other, to learn about their past and their hopes. It was in spite of them they fell in love, but still they struggled because of who they were.
In all a lovely tale of two very opposite persons finding home in each other.
I just would have liked an epilogue, but it is just me.
