The Great Scot

February 15, 2007
Erin MacGregor's latest location-scouting trip for the reality dating show " Your Prince Charming " leads her to misty Glenshire, Scotland, and its resident laird, Dylan Chisholm. Erin has heard that Dylan is turning the family's castle into a bed-and-breakfast. Surely he can't resist her offer to rent out the estate for filming this season's show. Think of the publicity. Not to mention the big check. But he has other ideas, none of them compatible with turning his castle into a production-crew madhouse. Erin is sure that her salesmanship can overcome Dylan's objections, but she is a little leery about her growing attraction to the stubborn Scot. Erin is a quirky, fun heroine--thankfully not at all the model-perfect type. Dylan is wonderfully sexy and a modern variation on the Beast: less brooding but still reclusive and burdened. Kauffman's lively wrap-up to the Chisholm Brothers series (including " Bad Boys in Kilts" , 2006) is heartwarming.
