Isobel will soon be in London to partake in the marriage mart and she couldn’t be less thrilled. As a Scottish lass the last thing she wants is to marry an Englishman. However, the handsome stable lad, Nick, which she’s come to know intimately could make a girl think twice. Nick is driven by passion and desire when he rescues a wild and brazen Scottish lady. Everything about her amuses or arouses him and he yearns for more moments with her. When she disappears he’s afrain he’ll never see her again. Good fortune is on his side when he finds her again in London. Unfortunately, he’s not what she’s looking for in a husband but she’ll keep him as a lover. This was an entertaining read with plenty of humor, lots of steam and a tad of angst. The banter between this couple was so cute and charming. I loved that Nick went into automatic alpha mode whenever another man even so much as looked at Isobel. There is a bit of push from Isobel as she is determined to remain an independent woman and return to her homeland. My heart hurt for Nick as he longed for everything from her but was brusquely informed he could expect no more than what they already had. The ending had a bit of drama and then a small epilogue that didn’t give us too much look into their future. Overall, this was a very enjoyable read. This is an honest review of an advanced copy provided by NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press Swerve. Dual POV Safe – some ow drama but the H is constantly running from her and the h is helping him No apparent triggers

Mistaken identity often turns out delightful. Such is that case with Isobel Dounreay Lochlannach, meets a stable hand ( or so she thinks) who saves her from a terrible accident. Nick Wyeth, Viscount Stirling is enchanted when he meets her and there is definitely a strong spark of attraction between the two. Of course there will be nothing easy between Isobel, who is a very independent, feisty Scottish lass and Nick, an English lord determined to have her. Meeting in secret and still having not knowing each others identity, they part when Isobel goes to London with her family. Well as fate would have it they meet again in London and each finds out the others true identity. This is a delightful story that enchants with the banter back and forth between the two. But Isobel wants to be back in Scotland and have her freedom and Nick just wants her for himself. A light read with some drama and a lot of emotions that overall was enjoyable.

LOVED this book! Nobody writes romance like the Queen of Hotness does! This is a fun and sexy historical romance that fans of the genre will love. In it, Isobel, a Scottish lass, is brought to London to have a season. However, Isobel has no interest in marrying or in London. Along the journey she meets Nick, a stable hand that catches her eye but is completely inappropriate for a member of the Peer. This is a quickly moving romance that grabbed my attention from the very first page and kept me hooked until the last page. While this novel picks up on characters introduced in prior Highlander books, this is a stand alone novel. However, they're so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.
