Kniha Mad, Bad and Dangerous in Plaid od Suzanne Enoch (preklad Jana Pacnerová) je tretím dielom série Scandalous Highlanders a sleduje Rowenu „Winnie“ MacLawryovú, ktorá po londýnskom debute vyrástla z dieťaťa na žiaducu mladú dámu. Winnie vždy vyznávala lásku k susedovi Lachlanovi MacTieriovi, ktorý však nikdy nechcel manželstvo, no po ich obdĺžke si uvedomí, že ju chce získať. Príbeh využíva overenú romantickú šablónu (prvý bozk na strane 70, intímne zblíženie okolo strany 200 a šťastný koniec) a postavy miestami pôsobia nerozhodne. Recenzentka hodnotí knihu ★★★ a dúfa v väčšiu sviežosť v poslednom dieli série.

The pursued becomes the pursuer. After years of having Rowena MacLawry, the youngest sister of his closest friend, tagging after him, all Lachlan MacTier wants to do is escape. But then Winnie runs off to London, determined to forget Lachlan in the swirl of her debutante Season.
When she returns three months later to prepare for her oldest brother's lavish Highlands wedding, Rowena is a changed woman. She's smothered her Scottish brogue, become an arbiter of the latest Paris and London fashions, and is in the company of several handsome young English aristocrats all vying for her favors.
Lach doesn't quite know what to make of this witty, sophisticated beauty who now has better things to do than follow him to a fishing pond. But the more determined she seems to be to prove that she has no need to fawn after a Scottish, kilt-wearing rogue who couldn't even be bothered to write her a single letter while she was away, the more interested he is in Winnie. Is she pretending to disdain him now, or has he truly lost his chance at a lady who is turning out to be far more lovely and interesting than he ever imagined?
