This languished on my booksheelf for a long time, and I don't know why, because I usually love Jillian Hunter's books. I enjoyed this one as well, and debated between 3*/4*, but a month after reading it, nothing stands out in my mind that makes it memorable.

3.5 stars. Maggie frustrated me with the constant games, and I couldn't tell if the cluelessness was genuine or manipulative. Man, *I* was starting to feel as blue balled as Connor. But he turned out to be a gem, and I guess the plot was fun/funny overall.

Funny, sexy, light-hearted historical romance set in Scotland. The hero is neither an Earl, a marquis nor a duke. He, in fact, is the Lord Advocate of Scotland. A position that enables Connor Buchanan to wield vast amounts of power and influence.

But to Maggie Saunders, the diminutive heroine, he is her love and is easily swayed by her to do what is needed on her behalf.

I laughed my way through this book and enjoyed every page and chapter. Cheers 🥂

5/5 ✨⭐️🌟

The first five chapters were great....funny! I settled down to a great read and then it segued to some inconsistent events and occurrences. By the time they got to the Highlands, I was highly irritated and dismayed. A one time read.

Parts were really good. Parts were really bad. The ending I could care less.

Another of my favorite authors. This book is funny, with quirky side characters. A charming read. It is strictly a romance. Though the two main characters have a bit of an adventure, there isn't any darkness in this book. Fun read with neat characters.

Marguerite Marie-Antionette de Saint-Evremond, is that a name or what?

[Hemangi Patgiri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow. Its one of the most enjoyable book I have read by Jillian Hunter. The lead characters both carried a quirky and adventurous side spicing up the story with romance and a bit of suspense too. I simply can just stop giggling imagining poor Connor's failed attempts to romance Maggie...all thanks to the side characters.
