Ian MacGregor, the Earl of Balfour,
needs money to keep his estate running smoothly. One more bad year for crops and his people
will be starving. Genie Daniels’s father
wants a title and he feels that his daughter’s marriage to the Scottish lout
will do nicely. Too bad Ian and Genie
don’t really have feelings for each other; they do have feelings for other
members of each other’s households.
That’s when things get REALLY complicated.
I am not a big fan of historical
romance, but I really liked Burrowes’s writing style. She puts dashes of intrigue and suspense in
at all the right moments. While the
focus is on a particular pairing there are also three other relationships
blooming simultaneously. (These two
families are going to be so intertwined the family tree is going to be looking
pretty odd.) It was nice to have more
than one pairing because there were multiple storylines to follow. At times very sensual, other times humorous
and even still nail biting. One of my
favorite historical romances to date!
