A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S ROMP is Book two in Katie
MacAlister's "Matchmaker in Wonderland" series about the
Ainslie Brothers. Even though I haven't read the
previous
book in this series, I was still able to enjoy this story.
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S ROMP has an easy charm and screwball
comedy quality that many Katie MacAlister books have.
Although an unlikely combination, a friend's quest for
vengeance and an archeology reality TV show make for an
interesting, and often hilarious, mix. Lorina Liddel is
not what she claims to be. Lorina has very private and
well-
intentioned reasons for appearing on the reality show Dig
Britain!. I like how Lorina is an average woman going
above
and beyond out of loyalty to a friend. She is flawed but
sympathetic. All of the supporting characters in A
MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S ROMP are amusing, if not utterly
delightful. Gunner's teenaged daughter Cressy is a trip
and
adds a lot of humor to the story. Seeing the kind of
father
Gunner is to Cressy also adds another layer to his
personality.
I love how Gunner goes about wooing Lorina. He keeps
bringing his "A" game, being as charming and as helpful as
he can -- all to the complete frustration of Lorina. She's
trying to be sneaky and accomplish her mission, and Gunner
keeps throwing a spotlight on her. The chemistry between
them is palpable and I like how Gunner has to work hard to
win Lorina over. I also like that he turns out to have
hidden depths to his character. Although he doesn't quite
know what Lorina's game is, he can tell that she's hiding
something. He also picks up on the fact that she's dated
some jerks along the way.
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S ROMP is charming, sexy, and laugh-out-
loud funny. Katie MacAlister gives enough twists and turns
in A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S ROMP to shake things up without
confusing the plot. Gunner and Lorina make a good team and
I was happy to have an epilogue. I look forward to going
back and reading Book one in the series. I eagerly await
the
next Katie MacAlister book!
From the New York Times bestselling author of The
Importance
of Being Alice comes the second Ainslie Brothers romance,
where finding love means falling head over heels...
Lorina Liddel is terrified of embarrassing herself on
national TV as the face of Dig Britain!, a new
archeological
reality show. Lorina would much rather keep her head down
and her hands in the dirt underneath Ainslie Castle, but
her
on-screen partner is proving to be a major distraction.
Brother to the castle’s current lord, privileged,
perfectly
sculpted Gunner Ainslie is a sure bet to keep viewers
glued
to their screens. Lorina intends to keep the ladies’ man
focused on the job at hand, but Gunner is confident he’ll
soon have the beauty falling into his bed.
When an unexpected find turns the academic dig into an
all-out treasure hunt, Lorina and Gunner get swept up in
the
excitement. But when their steamy tryst is caught on
camera,
it’ll take more than an award-winning performance to get
them out of the hole they’re in.
