Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads

London socialite Amelia-Rose Baxter is nobody’s fool. Her parents may want her to catch a title, but she will never change who she is for the promise of marriage. Her husband will be a man who can appreciate her sharp mind as well as her body. A sophisticated man who loves life in London. A man who considers her his equal―and won’t try to tame her wild heart...

Rough, rugged Highlander Niall MacTaggert and his brothers know the rules: the eldest must marry or lose the ancestral estate, period. But Niall’s eldest brother just isn’t interested in the lady his mother selected. Is it because Amelia-Rose is just too. . . Free-spirited? Yes. Brazen? Aye. Surely Niall can find a way to soften up the whip-smart lass and make her the perfect match for his brother for the sake of the family.

Instead it’s Niall who tempts Amelia-Rose, despite her reservations about barbarian Highlanders. Niall finds the lass nigh irresistible as well, but he won’t make the mistake his father did in marrying an Englishwoman who doesn’t like the Highlands. Does he have what it takes to win her heart? There is only one way to find out.

Review

***I received this book via NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review***

The big picture: this was a fine book and I would read more books in the series when they are released, but am not dying for them.

The first half of the book felt very slow. The second half felt rushed. I guess that would average out to good pacing, but that's not how it works. The romance was fairly interesting-I liked that the characters built a friendship first. But, again, the ending was a little rushed.

I was more intrigued by the guys' mother. I'm hoping her relationships with her husband and sons will continue to be explored. Ms. Enoch could've easily made her a one-dimensional villain character and I'm glad she didn't. Family dynamics are always interesting to read.

If you like historical romance feel free to check this out, but maybe pick it up from the library.

Thanks for reading!
