Dangerous in a Kilt by Anna Durand
3.0
This is my first time reading/listening to Anna Durand. This was also my first time listening to Rinelle Harkin.
I can’t pinpoint why and I have no clear objection to her narration - I just didn’t click with Harkin’s performance for some reason. So I opted to finish the book by reading it. I’m definitely willing to try out another work of hers and see if it’s just a one-off for some reason.
This is a good book when in the mood for a lot of steamy sex scenes making up a bulk of the story. While not particularly risqué/graphic, the proportion made this feel more like erotica than romance. Not a complaint, just an FYI.
Erica & Lachlan enter into a “no personal details” month-long fling while he’s visiting the US & she’s awaiting trial for a crime she didn’t commit. Since the story is all from Erica’s POV and they’ve agreed to a “keep it light and don’t share too much” arrangement - I didn’t really get to know Lachlan as well as I would have liked to. He definitely knows how arrange some lovely dates and brings the protective nature against Erica’s ex. May/December is one of my favorite tropes - while Lachlan is 42 & Erica is 28, other than the convo revealing that info the age difference doesn’t really factor in.
Overall, it was a fun read and I’ll definitely be reading/listening to the rest of the series.
I own the ebook. However, for full disclosure, I won a copy of the Hot Scots/MacTaggart Brothers trilogy in audiobook from a contest on Durand’s Twitter.
Update: I went to listen to book 2 and found there’s a bonus scene of Chapter 1 from Lachlan’s POV narrated by Ged Bowie.
