Description:
Emmaline Marlow is about to wed the extremely powerful laird of the Hepburn clan to save her father from debtor's prison when ruffian Jamie Sinclair bursts into the abbey on a magnificent black horse and abducts her in one strong swoop. Though he is Hepburn's sworn enemy, Emma's mysterious captor is everything her bridegroom is not--handsome, virile, dangerous...and a perilous temptation for her yearning heart.
Jamie expects Emma to be some milksop English miss, not a fiery, defiant beauty whose irresistible charms will tempt him at every turn. But he cannot allow either one of them to forget he is her enemy and she his pawn in the deadly Highland feud between the clans. Stealing his enemy's bride was simple, but can he claim her innocence without losing his heart?
My Review:
Emma has to wed the ancient earl to save her family and her home that has been in her mother’s side of the family for two hundred years. She is strong willed not one of these weaklings of society already disgracing her family once by breaking off an engagement for a man who she loved only to find out he did not love her. Which in returns she feels drives her father to drinking, spending every penny they had the Earl had a solution and her father accepted. Emma stands up to her responsibility to be the new countess when at the alter she had a gun pointed at her heart and kidnapped.
Jamie the steamy Highlander kidnaps Emma to end a feud that has been going on for 5 generations between the two clans. What was supposed to be a simple request in return for the earls new bride turned into something more. You learn more about Jamie, even some things that I was surprised to find out. Drawn to Emma you can feel the sexual tension and cut it with a knife. A tease here and a tease there was enough to drive you mad.
Both Emma and Jamie grow within the book. They learn about each other and the secrets that they hold. At the end, I for one was glad how the book ended. Jamie and Emma both tugged at my heart wanting what they both wanted and yet denied. I, for one, could not put down The Devil Wears Plaid I was hooked from the very first line to the very last. If you have yet to read any of Teresa Medeiros books, I suggest you do.
