    Plot and Story Line 
  
 
Mad For The Plaid is the final full novel of the Oxenburg Princes series and boy what a blast I have had with this book!! I tell ya, I always forget the fun banter that this author creates and BOOM ---I get swept back up into one of her romantic tales that sweep me off my feet. This is Nikolai's story, and I have been excited to read his story ever since we stumbled upon these delectable princes. Nikolai has a different course set for him, as he is the crown prince...his life has been a hard one. Even though he has had his family, it hasn't been easy not being able to play or have fun like his brothers have had. So Nikolai has a more serious toned personality than the others have. But Lyssa brings out the playful side of him out. At first, the argue ALOT....sometimes over the silliest things. And their bantering was so fun, I honestly couldn't get enough of it.  They have some great chemistry but don't know exactly how to explore it quite yet and they learn as they go along. This story did turn into a more "forbidden love" theme which I wasn't fully expecting. For Nikolai, even when he realizes how much he truly loves Lyssa, he doesn't want his life for her. He doesn't want it to change her in any way. But Lyssa is strong and has a temper even if she has a more sweet toned nature, she stands her ground. And the grandmother really helps these two out. Now we don't see much of her until the end of the book, so there is more focus on the actual romance that develops between Nikolai and Lyssa. Such a wonderful conclusion to a fabulous series, I hope it the final novella we get more of these four brothers and their wives!!!

Prince meets sassy highland miss when they have to work together to rescue the Prince's feisty grandmother from a kidnapping. A fun caper, but the overall story arc wasn't my favorite. The dilemmas holding back the couple from their HEA weren't the ones that I thought should really matter. Also, Mairi's Scottish accent was stuck on just a few key vocabulary words, which took me out of the story at times.
