But Cait never expected to fall in love with the laird and when the truth is finally revealed about the her father’s hatred, no one in the castle will be free from the aftermath except Adam and Cait. Adam is her father’s sworn enemy and Cait has been commanded to take Adam’s life within the first few weeks of her marriage. Plaid to the Bone follows Cait Grant as she is betrothed and promised in marriage to the current laird of Bonniebroch Adam Cameron but with it comes a price. As with many introductory storylines Mia reveals the source of a three hundred year old curse that will follow each laird of Bonniebroch until one is capable of breaking the spell. REVIEW: PLAID TO THE BONE is the introductory prequel novella in Mia Marlowe’s paranormal Highlander historical series. Overall, this novella was a fun and light read despite its somewhat somber undertones, and I highly recommend it to all fans of Scottish romance. The secondary characters are delightful as well, especially the wise fool Callum Farquhar, who plays a surprisingly role, and contributed to a comedic ending. In his mind, love is achievable once there is a purpose in mind to do so, and that rings true in this story, in a love gained through time and acceptance of each other. Adam saw Cair’s vulnerability and loneliness, and sought to gain her respect before her love. The characterization is fairly well done, especially with Cair, due to the turmoil she felt between wanting her father’s approval and murdering the man she had come to love.
However, Cair thinks otherwise, as she had taken an oath to murder her husband-to-be!Ī charming tale mixed with elements of magic, Plaid to the Bone has all the trademarks of Mia Marlowe’s humorous and entertaining writing.
Adam was not expecting much from this marriage-of-convenience, but upon seeing Cair’s fiery righteousness and beauty, he begins to believe this match might turn into something more. Adam Cameron, laird of Bonniebroch, is an ardent supporter of the Duke of Albany and has agreed to marry Cair Grant, Wallace Grant’s daughter, to end the dispute. Set in the 16th century with the political backdrop of young King James V, two sides are disputing over the right to become regent for the king: Wallace Grant and the Duke of Albany.
