MAD, BAD, AND DANGEROUS IN PLAID is Book 3 in Suzanne
Enoch's Scandalous Highlanders series. I think this is a
series that should be read in the proper sequence, in order
to get the lay of the land and a better understanding of
the players in MAD, BAD, AND DANGEROUS IN PLAID. Events
from previous books impact what happens in this installment.
This story starts out with a common and easy to relate to
scenario—a guy finally gets interested in a girl as soon
as she starts to get over him. However, nothing in this
superbly crafted highlands romance by Suzanne Enoch is
really that simple. A lot of the complications and
obstacles that Lachlan and Winnie face in MAD, BAD, AND
DANGEROUS IN PLAID are of their own making.
Up until recently, Rowena, better known as Winnie, had been in
love with Lachlan since
she was a
young girl, and Lachlan viewed Winnie as the young sister of
his friends. Then she returns from a successful Season in
London and Lachlan can't help
but see Winnie as a very desirable woman.
I like how Suzanne Enoch does a great job of
having them realize that both ways of thinking about each
other were skewed. It's not that they have a magical change
of heart, but rather a radical change in perspective based
on current circumstances. Winnie is not the infatuated
young girl Lachlan knew in the past and Lachlan is not the
idealized figure that Winnie had thought he was.
In addition to the game-changing realizations the main
characters have about their personal lives, MAD, BAD, AND
DANGEROUS IN PLAID has quite a few hidden villains to
inject a little danger and suspense into the romance. I
think these elements of danger are thrilling and enhance,
rather than distract from, the romance. These moments of
unexpected peril showcase Winnie's inner strength as
well as drive home how important Lachan is to
her. I also love how this story focuses on what a tight
bond Winnie has with her family. Ranulf may seem to have
plans that run contrary to hers, but the father-like
relationship he has with her is beautiful and the love
really shines through.
MAD, BAD, AND DANGEROUS IN PLAID has Shakespearean
overtones and plenty of sexy highlanders. This book by
Suzanne Enoch has intriguing characters, spell-binding
storytelling, and lots of steam. This is yet another book
in the Scandalous Highlanders series which I am
captivated by the enigmatic
George Gerdens-
Daily—I hope a book about him is in the future. I eagerly
await the next book in this exciting series by Suzanne
Enoch.
