I loved it! When you read so many Historical Romance books you soon realize that they sometimes follow the same story line pattern. This book is a very refreshing read. I enjoyed the story line in which we have a war veteran, tradesman Highlander who falls in love with a London Lady. When they first meet they form a connection, but fate plays a hand and are unable to be together. Royal and Ainsley are both survivors. Both characters were not perfect, but they were perfect for each other. The love they had for each other helped heal their emotional scars. I did cry in some scenes in the beginning and laughed in others. I loved the bantering between Ainsley and Angus( Royal's Grandda). They knew how to push each other's buttons. He was my favorite secondary character. I hope to continue reading about him in the other books.
I look forwards to the continuation of this series and reading about the Clan Kendrick.

Another charming and thrilling entry from Vanessa Kelly, featuring two secondary characters from The Highlander's Princess Bride, Royal and Ainsley. There's drama aplenty, as well as a few surprises. My only complaint is the grandfather (Angus), who featured prominently in the previous book and this one. I think Kelly finds him much more hilarious and likable than I do--I just wanted to lock him in the castle and leave him there, or at least have one of his relatives tell him to stop meddling so much. But overall, this was a very entertaining read.

I was given an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review this book was blah – not offensive, not bad but not exciting, no sizzle, easily skippable
