Where is your current read set?
Rumors have filled the local village after Freya MacLeod’s
father’s death. Some rumors think her
late father left a treasure to be found.
This rumor has caused treasure hunters to swarm the area. Other rumors state that she and her sisters
are witches. When Freya and her sister
Sorcha are accused of murder, her brother-in-law’s friend, Callum, whisks her
away to his castle to save her. Will the
two find love? Will Freya be able to return
home?
My thoughts on this novel:
· This is a historical romance set in Scotland in the 18th century. I love reading stories set in Scotland and in this time period!
· I liked the back story of Callum’s father fighting in Culloden and how it impacted their family. Callum finds himself betrothed to a woman he admires but does not love as one of the consequences.
· This is the second book in the Cairncross Castle book series. I did not read the first book in the series about the first sister, Cat, but this book worked fine as a standalone. I do think the first book probably gave more details on the treasure hunt and would be worth going back to read.
· This is the second MacLeod daughter, Freya’s, story.
· This story had plenty of adventure and some mystery.
· There was a lot of chaos at the start of the story, and I had to figure out what was going on. Freya seemed to hide in the shadows, but she had a lot of great growth throughout the story.
· Freya and Callum had great chemistry.
· This was a forced proximity story.
· The story was mostly slow burn, but there are a couple of open-door scenes towards the end of the novel.
· There are miscommunications as part of the romance, which always annoys me in stories.
· I am interested to read the next book in the series and get Sorcha’s story.
Overall, How to Lose a Laird by Anna Bradley was a fun
historical romance.
