It’s hardly the type of wedding Fiona MacLean dreamed of. No family, no guests, just a groom who’s been dragged—literally—to the altar. But if marriage to Black Jack Kincaid, the handsome wastrel she’d sworn never to see again, will avert a bloody war between their clans, so be it. Surely she can share his bed without losing her heart…

Known throughout Scotland and London as a wild rogue, Jack is accustomed to waking in dire situations, but…married? Long ago, he and Fiona reveled in a youthful passion. Now, the fiery, sensual lass is his once more. And though their marriage is in name only, Jack is determined to win her forever—body and soul…

I found the story to be easy to read, highly entertaining, and full of passionate encounters. Fiona and Jack are locked in a battle of the wills throughout much of the story. Fiona wants a baby with Jack to seal their families together. Jack wants his freedom and to remain a rake. He agrees to Fiona's wild plan...after he finds himself married. However there is always the understanding that once Fiona finds herself with child she will return to the highlands, back to her brothers and Jack will be free to return to his usual life. Things don't always go as planned...

In addition to the marriage against his will Jack remembers immediately why things between him and Fiona didn't work previously. Fiona and her brothers are cursed. No literally. Their emotions are tied to the weather and when one of them is upset you better watch out!! This was a laughable aspect to the story and I loved how the author explained the background to the curse with blurbs at the beginning of each chapter.

Overall I enjoyed this story. Its the first book I have read by this author and I will likely continue the series in the future!
