SUCH A GREAT BOOK! Absolutely addictive!
American heiress Madeline Chartrand has a problem. Her matchmaking mother is determined to secure an aristocratic husband for her, despite her wishes to the contrary. Lachlan Macfie, the newly minted Duke of Kenross, has an even bigger problem. He’s just inherited a moldering Scottish estate, crumbling castle and all, without the massive funds necessary to repair and run it. Fortunately, Lachlan has the perfect solution—a marriage of convenience. Madeline gets the duke her mother hopes for, and Lachlan can restore the estate with the help of her vast dowry.
Madeline doesn’t want to wed anyone, least of all the burly Scot who trampled her train and spilled champagne on her gown at their first introduction. He’s too tall, too brash, and too overwhelming. She doesn’t even like him. Until they’re stranded alone together and Lachlan proves he’s not just capable of protecting her from danger, but kissing her witless. Suddenly, Madeline finds herself facing an entirely new problem. She’s falling in love with a man who wants a marriage in name only. But can she settle for a forever if she can’t have his heart?
OMG these two! The chemistry, the banters, the FIRE! It was so much fun to see them fall in love. The story is short, but absolutely addictive! I read it in less than a day. Madeline is a great character, but Lachlan? My new book boyfriend! He is funny, sweet and he really cares for her. It was great to see Derek and Jo, and some other characters from previous books.
The sexual tension is of the chart, and the sexy times ABSOLUTLY PERFECT! They are EXPLOSIVE together. Another great book from an outstanding author. I highly recommend it.
