Humorous Romantic Mystery,
By
This review is from: Daring (Mass Market Paperback)
Maggie Saunders, was called an angel of mercy for her acts of kindness - and as you get to know her is this novel - you will come to love her just like the great and mighty Lord Advocate! She was the daughter of a French Duke - lost most of her family from the maniacal madness caused in France during the Napoleonic wars. She came to live with an aged aunt in Scotland and after the aunt died - with no place else to go - she, her devoted and aged butler Claude, and poodle Daphne, were adopted into the clan of one of the most feared and revered crime families in Aberdeen Scotland. They might have been pickpockets, forgers, thieves, etc but they all loved the 'little lassie' Maggie and being under the protection of the 'Chief' there would be no one in that underworld who would do her harm! Connor Buchanan, Lord Advocate of Scotland, was called many things, both good and bad - and he would be the first to admit to encouraging the bad so that the criminals would be afraid to come up against him. Connor came upon Maggie at a reception in his home and mistook her for one of his guests. Completely mesmerized by the aristocratic beauty he was well on his way to seduction when he was interrupted by his ex-mistress and good friend who had caught a young thief, Maggie's accomplice, in trying to steal back a confession one of her friends had signed over to the Lord Advocate. While Connor went to see to the thief, Maggie would try to make her escape. While attempting her escape she got lost - very bad sense of direction - and she stumbled onto the kidnapping of Connor's youngest sister. Naturally, Maggie would do all she could to help and she attempted to thwart the kidnappers by smashing a bottle of stolen champagne against the driver of the kidnapping coach - she lost her balance - fell on her head - and the laughs just keep on coming in this divine little romantic comedy as Connor - falls deeper and deeper under the spell of the housebreaking, bumbling and delightful Maggie Saunders! This was charming from beginning to end. The finely drawn lead characters of both Connor and Maggie will worm their way into your heart as Connor attempts a seduction on the innocent and naïve Maggie. The secondary characters who are woven in and out of the storyline are so very endearing from Claude the 84-year-old aged butler and self-appointed guardian of Maggie, to Connors eccentric ex-mistress and his zany Highlander neighbors and staff. This book was total fun and the very sensual attempts at seduction made the final capitulation so very titillating. I really enjoyed this humorous romantic mystery as Ms. Hunter deftly weaves humor into these charming romances

Wow Wow Wow,
This review is from: Daring (Mass Market Paperback)
I love the humor Ms. Hunter always puts into her stories. I love her heros too. She is a superb writer. She really knows how to steam it up. The chemistry between these main characters is right on. My only complaint is that the main female character appeared a little too simple minded. In my opinion a man as intellegent as this story's hero, would most likely need someone a little more mentally stimulating. Other wise loved, loved, loved it.

This review is from: Daring (Mass Market Paperback)
I am glad that I read this book. It was sweet, suspenseful and funny. I laughed aloud many times. I also liked Fairy Tale but thought that this was better.
