I liked The Bridegroom Wore Plaid and found the narrator very easy to listen to. I am a sucker for a Scottish accent but sometimes find it hard to understand. I'm not sure why, but in this case, I had no problems at all.
What did you call a key party (swingers party) back in the olden days? Ok, it wasn't really a swingers party it was more a party where you were allocated an intended and decided to swap her out for a better option. Ok, Ok, it wasn't that bad and it sounds worse than what it really was but it wasn't that far off. The MacGregor boys were given a bunch of ladies to entertain and it was a bit of eeny meeny miny moe, lift their skirts and find a...toe???
Financial worries for the MacGregors and family obligations for the women leads bring these two families together. With a despicable family member controlling them, they must outsmart him in his horrible games. Hopefully, love will win and evil will come to light.
If I was to complain about one thing, it was the delay in Ian and Augusta finding their HEA. Sure, it didn't stop them from amusing themselves but I hate that duty came before love. I know, it's more realistic and historically accurate, but I'm a sucker for love. Bugger duty.
Another story from my extensive Want To Read pile crossed off thanks to the Romance Package. I will have it whittled down to nothing...soon...ish.
