Highlander Duncan MacTavish finds himself summoned to the bedside of his dying English grandfather, Lord Neville Thackeray. He finds out that he's betrothed to Ophelia, whose beauty is surpassed only by her cruel nature. He attends a house party where he meets the Honorable Sabrina Lambert and finds her a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, rumors taint Sabrina's family name, ensuring that she will never be able to secure a match. Duncan's only friend to help him endure Ophelia and an endless parade of other eligible women, Sabrina is adept at making him laugh. After all, she spent most of her life diffusing the tension between her battling maiden aunts. But Duncan begins to realize that his feelings for Sabrina are more than friendly.
I've always loved Johanna Lindsey's writing. She was a great historical romance writer whose stories had me staying up late reading. This one was a great example. Her characters were memorable; some I loved and some I loved to hate. She had a knowledge of Regency England and used her words to create an atmosphere where I could feel what it was like to live in that time period. And the romance was always tasteful with just enough heat. I definitely recommend this story to historical romance readers.
