Melissa Blue romances always go down smooth like a fine whisky, this one no exception. LOVED the hero and heroine, but not necessarily all of the family business shenanigans or why she had to baby sit the family elder.
Content notes: surprise baby, drinking, frail elder

This was the third book in the Under the Kilt series and it was my favorite. Callan is so wounded in the beginning of the story and it took firecracker Victoria to bring him back. The road to each other was never quite smooth and full of misunderstandings - but I loved reading their romance.

Stayed up too late reading this. A fun, sexy, lovely little distraction. I loved the Baird, he was an excellent secondary character.

Delightful. The funny banter, warm tone and complex characters more than made up for any plot or word choice quibbles I had. I would totally read more by this author.

Victoria is desperate to salvage her reputation after taking the blame for a career killing mistake. She isn't willing to allow a gruff and rude man stand in her way of redemption. Callan wants to be left alone so that he can earn the money that will help settle the bulk of the debt that weighs on him. It's always fun to see the surly men brought around and Callan doesn't give in without taking more than his due when he finally agrees to cooperate with Victoria.
Victoria and Callan, although very different in temperament, initially agree that their attraction is purely physical and should not lead to any emotional entanglements. Callan wants to explore Victoria's hidden kinks and Victoria is willing to let him as long as he keeps to their agreement. Through working together, snarky conversations, and electrifying sexual encounters what develops between them naturally begins to slowly morph into the one thing Victoria was fighting hard against. Callan on the other hand is still in love with his dead wife and can't imagine anyone, even the irresistible Victoria, filling the void that was left when she died.
KILTED FOR PLEASURE is a very erotic contemporary romance that also has a solid story. There are definite scenes that involve kink, not BDSM per se, just eroticism that is believable between two people who are willing to explore their sexuality without strict boundaries or guilt. For me the scenes weren't shocking or overly done. Blue was able to weave the bit of kinkiness into Victoria's and Callan's relationship very smoothly and believably. I've read three books by Melissa Blue in a week so I think that it's safe to say that I am definitely now a fan and I will be reading more by her soon.
