Lara MacLaren is lonely. With twins to raise and a castle to restore, Lara shouldn’t be daydreaming about Ian Paterson, the architect she hired to do the job. Yet with her husband already gone, Lara can’t help but find herself attracted to the man surrounded by so much mystery. Ian is eager to pursue the lovely widow despite the numerous reasons he shouldn’t - not the least of which is his family’s ancient claim to the castle and its hidden contents. With a ghost haunting the halls and treasure hidden behind the walls, Ian will have to reveal his secrets soon or risk losing Lara forever.

 

 “Waiting for the Laird” is a paranormal romance novella combining a light romance with a ghost guarding a hidden treasure and a set of trouble-seeking twins. Although the plot is fairly light and predictable, with lack of communication serving as the main conflict, the history behind the treasure is interesting, the twins are entertaining and the characters are fun. Further, there is enough steam in the book to keep a reader’s interest despite the light conflict and minor action. Overall, this is a short quick read that readers of paranormal romance fans should find enjoyable.
