I read two of the stories in this anthology:

Unfinished Business - Jude Deveraux: Attorney Tyler Stevens will do anything for her cousin Krissy. When Krissy gets sick, she begs Tyler to take her place as an assistant to her boss on a business trip to Scotland. Tyler drops everything and flies to Scotland to meet up with Joel Kingsley at an ancient Scottish castle where they stumble onto a ghostly murder mystery.

I really had to suspend belief for this story. An attorney drops her caseload to fly to Scotland to work for a guy who doesn't seem to notice that his assistant is a totally different person. It did get a little better when they stumbled upon a ghost in the ruins of the castle. My rating: 2 Stars.

Cold Feet - Geralyn Dawson: Texan Rand Jenkins is escorting a wayward wife to her husband in the Scottish Highlands. They are lost when they stumble across Annie Monro's cottage. Annie offers them hospitality and give them directions to the castle. But when Rand leaves to continue to the castle, a herd of cats follows him. Believing that Annie has put a spell on him, he returns to her cottage to make her remove the spell.

What can I say? That is the plot. People believe Annie is a witch. Rand doesn't actually believe that; but thinks that she put something in his drink that attracts cats. My rating: 1.5 Stars.
