About this ebook

The irresistible Kendrick clan returns in the latest Scottish-set historical romance from the USA Today bestselling author—a witty, sensuous and adventure-filled romp that will delight Regency fans and readers of Sabrina Jeffries and Victoria Alexander.
 
Charlotte “Charlie” Stewart would rather don a kilt and ride her horse than simper in a ballroom. But with her younger sister about to be wed, she can’t escape the pressure to be next. A husband has been chosen, and Charlie’s fate seems set. Until an afternoon gallop sends her horse colliding with Kade Kendrick, the broad-shouldered Highlander who was once her childhood pal . . .
 
As a youth, Kade felt overshadowed by his older siblings. Now he’s a renowned musician whose fame provides cover for his other work—as a spy. Home from his latest mission, he’s annoyed to be roped into attending the wedding of a family friend—until it reunites him with the fearless tomboy who has become a breathtaking beauty. And though his thoughts should be on a new concerto, Kade is soon distracted by rival suitors, a dangerous quest—and the unconventional woman who fills his soul with music and his body with desire . . .

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this witty and entertaining Highland romance, where clan feuds had never been laid to rest, and superstition ruled the day. At times the only sane characters appeared to be Charlie and Kade. It was all too much for a determined suitor let alone the bride whose wedding party descended into chaos. There was some suspense as a family member walked into a trap and almost lost his life, but the incorrigible Angus had his way of winkling out the truth.

I really enjoyed this sweet romance between Charlie and Kade. Charlie was still a tomboy at heart but she could be a perfect lady if she chose to. Kade was the best man for Charlie because he loved her for how unconventional she was. Together they were perfect. I sure hope this isn't the last book in this series because I just adore Clan Kendrick....especially Angus!

This is the sixth and series finale of the Kendrick family sadly. Have the Kleenex ready as I am very sad to see the series end which I have loved so much. Be prepared to laugh and cry as it is an extraordinary finish to a fabulous series that is absolutely unforgettable. Again another book I highly recommend!
