Truly Madly Plaid

Eliza Knight. Sourcebooks Casablanca, $7.99 mass market (384p) ISBN 978-1-72820-035-4

Knight’s action-packed second Prince Charlie’s Angels romance (after The Rebel Wears Plaid) highlights an admirable heroine who regularly puts herself in danger to heal others. In 1746 Scotland, Annie MacPhearson and her family dedicate their lives to retaking their homeland from the English. Annie becomes a healer, while her older brother, Graham, fights in the Jacobite rebellion. Despite a rocky first impression, Annie soon becomes enamored of Lt. Craig MacLean, a fierce warrior and Graham’s closest friend—and he finds Annie equally bewitching. After a devastating loss for the Jacobites, Annie rushes to help heal the wounded and finds Graham dead and Craig badly injured. She takes Craig and the few other survivors into her care, working both to heal them and to hide them from the British dragoons who hunt them. Annie and Craig’s fear of being caught is palpable, and Knight keeps the stakes high without ever losing track of the sweet and steamy romance. Fans will be impressed by how gracefully Knight builds on the setting and politics of the first installment, and new readers will have no problem jumping in.
