This book gets an extra star for Hugh and his big heart and the fact that there was a more serious theme going on that made me tear up at times.

In this book Hugh, the most in control of his curse among the MacLean brothers comes together with sensible and passionate Caitriona Hurst.

Well, their thing starts with a misunderstanding where the two are forced into a marriage but they can hardly deny their attraction to each other either. Hugh brings Caitriona to his home where he keeps a few secrets and makes it clear to her that she's to leave after a couple of months when gossip is cooled down. Naturally he's determined to keep Triona at arms length but Triona is a passionate and loving woman who comes from a big family and craves one of her own.

I gotta admit, Hugh was probably the one brother I wasn't all so excited to read about. No wait, I put that wrong. What I meant is that he was the one brother I knew less than the others so I didn't exactly know what to expect from him. But man, did it turn out good. His character was surprisingly good at heart, he was passionate, he was loving, he was caring. Even though it took him a while to show these feelings towards Triona, even when he clearly started the marriage the wrong way, it was impossible not to like him.

And Triona was a good heroine, I immediately liked her. She has a twin sister, Caitlyn, who's a bit less responsable than her who is also the reason why Triona ends up with Hugh. Gotta thank Cait. She also has four other siblings and as the oldest and most responsable, she's used to dealing with family drama I guess. I liked her, she was good for Hugh.

I'm surprised at how much I'm loving this series and the fact that the next book of the oldest MacLean is the last of the series kinda makes me sad. But, I do look forward to it since I believe it has one of my most favourite romance themes, bickering love :D
