Englishman Lake Benson loaned his life savings to his dippy sister so that she could buy a shop. It was a big mistake. His sister has been steadily flushing his money down the drain – and now he wants it back. Years in the special forces taught Lake that if you want a job done, do it yourself. So he steps in to make the shop profitable, sell it and get his money back. The only problem is, the business is an underwear shop. And all Lake knows about underwear can be summed up in how fast he can unsnap a bra. To make matters worse, the tiny highland town already has a lingerie shop. A successful one, run by an ex-lingerie model. A very gorgeous ex-lingerie model, who’s distracting him from his mission more than he’d like to admit. If Lake wants to get his savings back, and get out of Scotland, he only has one option – wipe out the competition. Kirsty Campbell has spent years rebuilding her life after she woke up in hospital in Spain to find her body scarred, and her ex-fiance had run off with all her money. The last thing she needs is a cocky, English soldier-boy trying to ruin all she has left. Her home town is only too happy to help her fight the latest English invasion, although Lake is beginning to sway them with his sex appeal and cut price knickers. With the help of her mother, and the retired ladies of Knit or Die, Kirsty sets about making sure that her shop is the last one standing in Invertary.It’s Scotland versus England as you’ve never seen it before. It’s lingerie war.***"This is the kind of book that leaves you feeling good!

"This had a lot of potential, but the way the author went about it, it missed the mark for me. I love a good competition but this seemed more annoying than anything else. Plus some inconsistencies pop up that make no sense at all.<br/><br/>Mostly, I found the lingerie war to be annoying. The idea that two people who are trying to run a similar business want nothing but to shut the other down with childish tactics wasn't enough to really make the story shine. Plus, half the stuff that went on was illegal, such as, breaking and entering, stealing, hacking. I think if the author left out some of these antics and instead focused on the battle of the bras, this could have been light and funny (even with the heroine's backstory). <br/><br/>I had a hard time falling for Lake. He didn't have to let up on making his business a success for me to like him, but the idea that his goal became that the other business would have to close shop stopped me from liking him. The way he treated his sister, who yes, doesn't have a business oriented brain or a backbone to stand up for what she wants, stopped me from liking him."
