A Man in a Kilt

By Sandy Blair

     Elizabeth Pudding is a typical New Yorker, working at a posh hotel, when she gets word that she has inherited Blackstone Castle on a island off the coast of Scotland. She packs her bags and heads to her new home, which is in major disrepair, and is infested with the ghost of Duncan MacDougall.

     Elizabeth is unaware of the man who watches her, wondering at her ways and habits, until one day she almost drowns, and in the twinkling of an eye, she finds herself back in time and she is married to Duncan MacDougall, the laird of Blackstone, who is very much alive and well.

     A Man in a Kilt is a great romp not only through time, but also through the hearts of two destined lovers, who have to find a way to right the wrongs time has dealt them. It is a delight to watch Beth, as she teaches the people in the castle how to "act civilly," and soon she is spinning tales for one and all that are so far-fetched they could not possibly be true. Or are they? Duncan begins to almost believe Beth's story to him that she is from a far distant, future land.

     Duncan knows that the only way he can retain his rights to the land and the castle is to produce an heir, but how does he do that when his wife won't even let him into the same room with her-much less to her bed.

     This is the funniest romance I have read since Sandra Hill's books on the misplaced Viking. I look forward to a lot more books from this delightful new author. Very highly recommended!
