Synopsis: Can a clash of wills …
When a mad lass in trousers shoots at him, Munro “Bear” MacLawry isn’t sure what impresses him more—the girl’s sure aim or her irresistibly tempting curves. Catriona MacColl has fled to the Highlands with her half-sister to escape an unwanted wedding and wants no part of him, or any man. But he can’t abandon the flame-haired, sharp-tongued wildcat now that he’s discovered her—not when she fits so perfectly in his arms.
Lead to a love for all time?
Munro has more than earned his nickname: he’s a well-muscled, well-favored mountain of a man with an engaging bad-boy grin and a string of well-satisfied lasses behind him. Bringing Catriona food, blankets, candles, everything she needs to survive a winter in an abandoned abbey, Munro is an unexpected gift in her reckless bid for freedom—and an unexpected complication. Clan MacDonald has plans for her, and they don’t include her falling for a MacLawry. But this man makes her feel like a woman—and he may be her one chance to live a life about which she’s only dared dream.

REVIEW

This was a sweet read.

Hellcat Cat is in mama bear mode, ironically, fiercely protecting her younger sister from all-comers while they hide out in an abandoned Abbey (which just happens to be on Bear Munro's land). She's fit for the task too, having been raised a tomboy, but something about Bear allows her to show her softer side...eventually.

I love any hero called Bear, it seems. Or heroes that turn into bears, even. The idea of a big braw man that's as gentle as can be - unless you cross him! - is just appealing to me. And it took Bear's calm, gentleness to tame Cat's frantic fight or flight instincts; to help her trust.

As usual with all Scottish romances, I love the brogue (although I'm glad I never have to read it aloud) and the dialogue here was particularly sweet. The HEA was cute as a button, too.

A fun, quick read.
