PUB DAY REVIEW
Move over Sebastian St. Vincent - Keir MacRae is in town! And he’s every romance reader’s dream come true!
Keir is a whisky distiller from Scotland, who’s in London to transport a parcel. When something goes wrong, he’s forced to meet with the shipping company’s owner to solve the issue. That’s how he meets Lady Merritt Sterling, the widow of the owner, who has been running ship since her husband’s unfortunate passing. Keir is handsome, rugged and brawny, with a temper to match. Merritt is, simply put, a powerhouse: witty, smart, easygoing, beautiful, doesn’t step back from a challenge. It’s lust at first sight
Yet even though he’s immediately aware, in his heart, that Merritt is “it” for him, Keir still tries to do the honourable thing and protect Merry from her own impulsiveness. Every time she comes onto him, Keir is holding back, reminding Merry that she would pay a hard price for being with him. But Merry is, to quote Keir, ‘a wee bully’, so she does get her way in the end. And the chemistry, the tenderness, the care and devotion that Keir has for her on their night of passion…. Yeah, not going to lie to you guys, that is REALLY the stuff dreams are made of.
But then… the unthinkable happens.
I swear to you, this was the biggest OH SHIT moment of my life. A twist like I never expected, never saw it coming. And I cannot tell you about it, because that would be unfair. You’ll have to read it yourself. But believe me when I say that after that, the book was UNPUTDOWNABLE.
I loved to see how Merry and Keir’s relationship develops over the course of the book, and I was a reduced to a puddle of swoon every time Keir said something incredibly sweet and/or deliciously filthy to Merry. Damn, if only he existed in real life.
It was also absolutely fantastic to see many other well-known Lisa Kleypas’ characters as a supporting cast for Keir and Merry, helping them get to their happy ending. I want to say more about them, but… I would ruin the surprise.
In conclusion: GET THE DAMN BOOK. Yes, even if you haven’t read Lisa Kleypas before, get it nonetheless. Even if it’s only to swoon over Keir. It’s a ten-stars read.
