Lady Mackenzie has given much thought to falling in love, but didn’t plan on falling in love with a Beast of Blackstone Abbey. She fell from her horse and he saved her. True, he is a scoundrel, but even scoundrels can fall in love. Lord Liam Fraser has seen enough war to last a lifetime. He plans to stand by his brother’s side and work the land of Blackstone Abbey. A lady’s company is welcome on … welcome on a cold Highland night. But marriage? Nae—especially not to a spoiled earl’s daughter. No matter how willing—or beautiful—she might be. If she insists, he will have to prove that scoundrels don’t fall in love.

Not sure who the scoundrel is in this delightful romance!
Lady Mackenzie is a free-spirited, high-energy young woman who knows what she wants, even if she doesn’t quite know how to go about getting it. Just shy of being spoiled, she doesn’t let conventions and expectations stand in her way.
Liam appreciates Mackenzie’s lively manner, but doesn’t think her father will look past his lack of title, nor does he have the means to make a serious offer for her hand. But circumstances – or something – keeps throwing them together, and when they find themselves in the middle of a dangerous situation, their true characters pave the way to their HEA.
I loved the way Liam saw through Mackenzie’s antics right from the start without lessening his opinion of her. Mackenzie was a fully-developed character, one who can be both impetuous and steadfast when the need arises. I loved the HEA, but the best part of this book is the warm and witty interactions between the main characters. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
