I hate it when I am indecisive on a book. Generally for me it's because of the characters and not the plot so much. This has been a great series, and maybe I wanted the series to end the way it started, with a lot a sizzle and pop! Aleck was sorely lacking in that department. I loved Delonna and the whole family, the pub. Anything in the Whidby's is a great setting for me.

He's got his own little mental list of why he should stay away from her and of course he breaks them all, but that's a good thing. He was as stiff as they come. The man was lucky to get his trousers on proper, one minute bemoaning his lot, the next pushing away anything and anyone that took an interest in him. What he does do though is take a protective interest in Lonna and that I liked. When the past gets too close, he takes her home to Scotland. Of course things grow from there, slowly. His parents were great and I loved his Mum. When he realizes he can't and won't face his past afraid of getting hurt, he plays tour guide the last few days they have left before they head back home.
Delonna, gets it. I really felt for the girl. He was such a dumb fook, and didn't seem to put forth the effort to even try. Talk about dry. His personality (lack of) almost ruined the story for me, I felt like even an ornery cuss would have been better. Then again that wouldn't have been Aleck, the fook. Of course you have to read the book to find out how the story ends and who ends up with who and what.

Otherwise, overlooking the H of the book, it's a great story and the Mc's are a great clan. Read this book and just ignore Aleck. Sadly I think this is the last book of the series. Great series from Shelli.
3.5 stars. I had to deduct half a star because of Aleck.

Enjoyed this short read. The last book in the series about the McLaughlin family, and this one is about Aleck, the oldest of the siblings, who has never married and says he never will. But will Delonna get him to change his ways?

Just the idea of Aleck"s Scottish brogue would be enough to make me fall in love with him. The way he cares for his family and Delonna is the icing on the cake. I really enjoyed, Last Call.
