Do Your Worst is simply the best! I enjoyed this gripping, rom com, set in the Scottish Highlands. I found this to be a fast and enjoyable read as I did not want to put it down. I loved the humor, the banter between the two main characters, the protective cat, the steam, and the atmosphere the castle and Highlands provided.
There is an infamous Scottish castle that has been cursed for hundreds of years. It is the stuff of legends. The locals believe it to be cursed as does curse breaker, Riley Rhodes. She comes from a line of curse breakers. When she is hired, she quickly flies to Scotland to do what she does best. Upon arriving in town, she meets Clark Edgeware, an English archeologist. He is intelligent, a firm believer in science and wants to redeem himself after his career took a hit.
Sparks fly between them when they meet, but when Clark learns that Riley is not a tourist but a curse breaker, he tries to get her kicked off the site. Riley is not going to be deterred that easily!
As I mentioned, I loved the atmosphere in the book. A castle in the Scottish Highlands with an interesting past! I was hooked right there! A curse put in place that is as strong as ever! I loved the paranormal vibe the curse brought to the book. I also enjoyed the two main characters. Riley is instantly likeable. She is bubbly, determined, quick witted and passionate about what she does. Clark comes off as grumpy and aloof but under all that is a nice, intelligent, hardworking, guy who hopes to redeem his professional reputation and make a name for himself. I found myself rooting for both characters.
This book had a little bit of everything: a mystery, family drama, romance, humor, steamy scenes, personal growth, and a sense of community. Romance books are all about the journey for me and I completely enjoyed the journey the two main characters went on during this book.
Well written, well thought out, gripping, steamy, entertaining, fun, and hard to put down! I look forward to what Rosie Danan writes next!
