Enjoy a visit to the Scottish Highlands! If you are looking for a straight-up romance with minimal conflict, then I have a book for you. Pleasured is a diverting mix of instant attraction, sizzling passion, misunderstandings, different worlds, and just a dash of mystery. It helps, too, that Meg (an independent and respected healer) and Damon (a widower rebuilding his relationship with his young daughter) were warm, friendly people who were easy to like, and I settled comfortably into their everyday lives. Their rocky beginning only made their eventual affair more satisfying. I was glad they decided to dive in and enjoy each other.
I got a big kick out of Damon not being able to figure out Meg. Poor Damon! His confusion over why she thought so poorly of him kept him in knots and made him a very frustrated man. His attempts to woo her were exercises in persistence and self-control and very entertaining to witness. Make him work for her, I say! And he eventually got it right, too.
Aside from their affair, Meg and Damon experienced a treasure hunt adventure that was equal parts thrilling, dangerous, sexy, and romantic. A brief recap of the legend was enough to refresh my memory of the star-crossed lovers and the origins of the treasure, and of how their story fit with Meg and Damon's discovery of yet another piece of that 18th-century puzzle. A recommended read at 4 stars.
