Spoiler"... I can only give Laurens' "Scandal's Bride" 3 stars. While enjoyable there is one plot in the book that really bothered me. Catriona, believing Richard is to be the destined father of her children but unwilling to allow him in her life, drugs Richard so that she can love him and leave him. I know this is fiction and fantasy (I often suspend belief when reading paranormal romances) but the thought of drugging anyone for sex, even if he did enjoy it, is terrible. If it had been a man drugging a woman, it would have been rape.

Once you get past the drug scene, Catriona accepts Richard in her life and we see them adjust as a married couple. I enjoyed this portion of the story.
