When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare

5.0

I love this Castles Ever After series!

What would you do if the letters you wrote to someone you made up actually found someone? Maddie desperately wants to avoid a debut into society. Painfully shy, she has done just that, and found her free pass. As time wears on and she needs to produce this imaginary hero, she decides to kill him off, a noble, hero's death. Imagine her surprise when he turns up on her doorstep years later!

For Logan MacKenzie, the letters give him focus. A ne'er do well, he finds a purpose, motivation to make something of himself in the eccentric rambling missives that are misdirected to him. And then she kills him off, as if his life hasn't followed that same pattern from the beginning, people abandoning him, leaving him. But he's not letting her off so easy. He takes his band of misfits determined to give THEM a home, even if he never finds one of his own.

Funny, spirited and touching, I loved this book (but then it's hard to ignore a determined Scot in a kilt). Highly recommended.
