Romance Paranormal

Mindy Menlove wants no reminders of her deceased fiancΓ© and her foolish weakness along with apparently a harem of others for a man in a kilt. She most assuredly does not want his ancestral Scottish castle complete with kilted MacNeil ghosts. She just wants to sell the home and move to someplace warm. Unfortunately, the ghosts have other ideas. They want their castle returned stone by stone to its original soil on Barra, and they will haunt her until she complies. She takes on the task of returning the castle to Scotland where she knows she will come face to face with Bran of Barra, the chieftain who originally built the castle. She has seen him before, but on his own turf he is so much more substantial and a lot harder to resist. Will she be able to keep her wits about her and not melt at the sexy highlander? Or is he too tempting to resist?

Bran MacNeil of Barra lives life to the fullest even though his ended seven hundred years ago. He still holds nightly festivities in his hall where he provides food and entertainment for his guest's pleasure. When he begins seeing a woman from modern times, he knows that he is in trouble. He is well aware of the dangers American women possess as many of his ghosts friends have fallen prey to them. He does not want to be added to that list, but he may not have much of a choice. When the woman comes to Barra's shores to rebuild his castle, he cannot resist her charms. However, she seems to be adamant of resisting his. Can he persuade her to change her mind? Or will he be forced to fight the attraction on his end?

Allie Mackay gears us up for another hauntingly sexy Scottish romp. She is a master at penning magical tales of love across the ages, and this tale certainly is another gem. It is endearing to watch Mindy, who despises all things Scottish, succumb to the allure of Bran, a warrior ghost with MacNeil charm in abundance. We visit with a few old friends, and the new ghosts add a lively dimension to this grand story. SOME LIKE IT KILTED lauds scrumptious highlanders and spirited women to weave an entrancing romance. I thoroughly enjoy Ms. Mackay's work, and look forward to the next grand adventure.

SUMMARY

A woman's heart needs a loving home--

Even if it's a little bit haunted.

Mindy Menlove lives in a castle that was transported stone-by-stone from Scotland. But when her fiancΓ© dies in scandal and Mindy decides to sell the gloomy estate, her plans unravel. She must travel to the Hebrides, where she's confronted by the castle's original builder-who happens to be maddeningly irresistible and seven hundred years young.

Bran of Barra was a legendary chieftain. Since then he's enjoyed his ghostly pleasures, until Mindy's appearance disrupts them. Now, if the roguish Bran doesn't change Mindy's mind about his bonny homeland-and himself-neither of them will ever find any peace.
