The Laird's Willful Lass (The Lairds Most Likely Book 1) Kindle Edition
An untamed man as immovable as a Highland mountain…
Fergus Mackinnon, autocratic Laird of Achnasheen, likes to be in charge. When he was little more than a lad, he became master of his Scottish estate, and he’s learned to rely on his unfailing judgment. So has everyone else in his corner of the world. He sees no reason for his bride—when he finds her—to be any different.
A headstrong woman from the warm and passionate south…
Marina Lucchetti knows all about fighting her way through a wall of masculine arrogance. In her native Florence, she’s become a successful artist, no easy feat for a woman. Now a commission to paint a series of Highland scenes promises to spread her fame far and wide. When a carriage accident strands her at Achnasheen for a few weeks, it’s a mixed blessing. The magnificent landscape offers everything her artistic soul could desire. If only she can resist the impulse to smash her easel across the laird’s obstinate head.
When two fiery souls come together, a conflagration flares.
Marina is Fergus’s worst nightmare—a woman who defies a man’s guidance. Fergus challenges everything Marina believes about a woman’s right to choose her path. No two people could be less suited. But when irresistible passion enters the equation, good sense soon jumps into the loch.
Will the desire between Fergus and Marina blaze hot, then fade to ashes? Or will the imperious laird and his willful lass discover that their differences aren’t insurmountable after all, but the spice that will flavor a lifetime of happiness?

I can’t be unemotional while playing the fierce executive. There would be words and maybe some yelling if I was expected to *Do as I’m told* without any input. I’d feel like a goose if I attempted to be a seductress. An artist…HA HA HA!! I’m also not the type of person who puts her career ahead of love or family. My independence wouldn’t be my burden when I need help. My own happiness wouldn’t be sacrificed to make a point for women’s rights.
So, playing Marina was a little tricky for me. She’s fiercely independent, puts her career ahead of everything, a seductress without trying and an accomplished artist. All of those things are hard for me to play…THEN…SHE’S OK WITH BEING A MISTRESS!!!
Oh boy, my eye was twitching, arms were crossed and I was squirming with uncomfortableness. It’s just something I struggle with in historical romance. Now, sex before marriage in a contemporary…bah…hardly a consideration. Sex before marriage in a historical romance…I’m swooning like a scandalised matron.
The thing is though, it wasn’t an insult to Marina. Even though Fergus (we’ll get to him soon) is doing it for his own pleasure, he’s actually giving her an opportunity to get what she desires without consequences. Her career and reputation will not be ruined by having an affair away from prying eyes.
OH…ENLIGHTENMENT!! Not every woman wants to put a ring on it (nodding my head with this knowledge FINALLY sinking in).
Now Fergus…I really liked Fergus and his bossy ways but I have to admit that his offer of pleasuring Marina left a bad taste in my mouth. Oh his, *mo chridhe* this and *mo leannan* that, you’d think he’d have cottoned on a little earlier that it wasn’t just about the sexy times. Bloody knuckleheads, the both of them. I knew it was more than lust from almost the beginning.
Full credit goes to Anna Campbell for giving us a hero that can step out of his comfort zone, doesn’t give up at the first hurdle and isn’t afraid of putting his heart on the line. Fergus was definitely a hero I came to admire and love by the end.
OK, the storyline was good, the sexy times were HOT and the characters were original and engaging. If I could find fault with anything, it would be that their love story was it. Sure, her career and concerns for her career were interesting but I almost missed that it lacked drama. SHOCK HORROR!! There wasn’t any outside force trying to steal the fair maiden, they weren’t embroiled in a whiskey rebellion and lives weren’t really in danger. Sure, there was a couple of scenes where Marina’s life was at risk BUT Fergus was there.
HE’S A SCOTTISH LAIRD WITH MUSCLES AND STUFF!!
Of course, he’s going to save the fair maiden. Maybe I'm not supposed to have as much faith in Scottish Lairds or something? It’s just that I haven’t met (read) one yet that doesn’t have herculean strength and force of will.
Anyways, Anna Campbell has again delighted my senses with a captivating highland historical romance. Sure, my eye twitched, but once I put on my glasses and started observing instead of playing, it all came good. I can’t wait for more in the series.

Marina is an established artist in Florence and has traveled to the area to complete a commission of a dozen paintings of Scottish landscapes. She is an independent woman who does not permit men to belittle her or order her around. She has met her match in the arrogant laird.

There are no villains and no fight scenes. Yes, it takes place in a Castle that is in the beautiful Highlands, but that is about as Scottish you will get. We do get Lassie and Laddie said, but that didn't do it for me. No suspense or intrigue either.
There is sex, outside of marriage - heat level 4 out of 5. The Lord's name is used in vain once.
The part I enjoyed the most was the Prologue, which takes place in 1802 . We met the H when he is 14, and two young boys who are 10 and 11. I enjoyed their idea of what a perfect women to marry would be. Of course, this feeling the H had at the age of 14, carried over to adult hood and caused problems with the strong willed h.
There is a nice epilogue 2 years in the future. No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, no romance and a tad of spice. (ljb)
