About this listen

 Local legend has it that any male of the Chattan family who falls in love will die—which is the basis for the marvelous historical romance series by New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell, The Chattan Curse. The Chattan legend continues in the second installment, The Scottish Witch, as the action and romance moves to the Scottish Highlands, where one determined man, fighting for his family’s honor, is mesmerized by a beautiful enchantress for whom he is willing to risk everything. The Scottish Witch is a powerful story of courage, love, fate, and devotion that will delight fans of Christina Dodd and Jennifer Ashley, featuring the sort of sexy, fearless, enormously appealing and unforgettable hero that RITA Award finalist Maxwell is known and loved for.

The overall plot of this trilogy, along with Rosalyn Landor's narration, is the reason I enjoy this series. The actual 'romance' of the first book was ok but for this second entry in the series I found myself rolling my eyes at the more 'romantic' or sexually charged scenes. It all just falls a bit flat and sounds very formulaic; the characters are believable up until the moment they have to interact with each other in a romantic or sexual manner, at which point it starts to feel like the interactions of cardboard cut-outs. Without wanting to give away spoilers, there are some hints that there are plot reasons as to why this happens but these hints are quite weak and it can't really excuse the lack of believability in the writing. Having said all that, the writer is definitely doing something right as I am still interested enough to buy the final book to find out what happens.

Interesting plot, not much romance
