Under His Kilt by Melissa Blue
3.0
2.5 stars
Novellas are harder for me to review because their shortened format tends to mean I'm not going to get the full story I'm wanting. In this case, I was disappointed that I didn't get more scenes of this couple's growing intimacy outside of the bedroom. I'd have loved to see this couple check off items from the heroine's bucket list. The hero lost major points with me when he casually mentioned that he'd dropped a dog that he adored at the pound because it interfered with his ability to travel. Seeing his attachment to the new puppy helped redeem him some, but not 100%. My favorite thing about this book was that it was sex positive and the couple talked often about maintaining honest communication to avoid disappointment (although they clearly didn't practice what they preached until the end).
