Alexander MacKenna has one month to convince Melissa they are destined for each other. She's an American tourist who just happened to stumble into a Celtic Warrior Reality Game. Melissa is certain she has stepped through the magical mist of Scotland - to go back in time. He captures her heart from the first moment they look at each other. For Alexander's six brothers, it's a game of deception as they convince Melissa she is in the 18th century. Along with two hundred and fifty warriors, they battle against the challenging Prince. It's a game of wits, and it's anyone's guess who will win. Alexander, their greatest warrior is smitten, and they are honor bound to keep his secrets.

Lori Leigh's second novel is just as wonderful as her first! The characters are multi-faceted and entertaining. The dialogue is witty and intelligent. I would caution potential readers to be very wary of bad reviews. It appears that very few books live up to the expectations of these reviewers. Laird of the Game is a truly original book, which is very difficult to find in the romance genre these days.

This writer seriously needs invest her time in finding a new editor and might also want to purchase a dictionary, as she obviously does not know what the word "taunt" means. She's using the word "taunt" to describe something that is rigid, tense, and/or tight (i.e. nipples) when the word "taunt" means to tease, attack, and/or insult (Websters, folks, Websters). Really, it takes more than a spell-check to call a book edited. I'm only about 30 pages into this book (it's the only reason I can go as high as 3 stars) and have already seen more spelling and context mistakes than I care to count.
I'll give it a few more pages of a chance and see how the story goes before I put it down. This is the first book I've ready by Lori Leigh and if it's any indication of her other work, I'll pass on future opportunities to read her novels.
And as for steamy - yeah, right...get yourself a Virginia Henley novel if you want steamy (i.e. The Pirate and The Pagan). I've got more heat in my shower than this book promises. What a let-down after all the glowing reviews.

I bought this by accident, thinking the writer was LORA LEIGH (since it comes up first in the search for Lora Leigh). The story itself is okay...though the relationship is based on a lie and the heroine has to be dumber than dirt to fall for it. But the editing of the book is BAD...someone will be in one place one paragraph, then someplace totally different in the next, with no explanation. I'm only halfway through, and it's dragging.

I don't typically read romance novels but Laird is definitely going to have me reading more. I absolutely loved it! Lori Leigh is beyond gifted and I look forward to reading more of her work;)
