"A Fervent Romance with Complex Characters"

Fresh Fiction Review

The MacGregor's Lady
Grace Burrowes

Reviewed by Lee Erin Berryhill

Romance Historical

Asher MacGregor only wants to mourn his first and secret wife in peace, yet now that he's chosen to become the Earl of Balfour he has nothing but obligations. Squiring a Boston heiress around London is one of them. Asher is surprised when he realizes she is not interested in making a match, and even more surprised when his indifference to her turns into affection.

Hannah Copper wants nothing more than to return to Boston spouse free, and she's worried about her family under her mean stepfather's care. The Scottish Earl is her savior, and when they are stranded for a night their true feelings show. Hannah and Asher can't fall in love, because if they do their obligations could tear them apart.

Grace Burrowes has once again written a compelling romance with a strong plot and enduring characters. Asher is a unique romance hero, and his past life is mysterious and distinctive. Hannah is not an uncommon heroine, but she realizes her feelings for Asher quickly, and also knows she can't be with him and help her family. Both Asher and Hannah are well - rounded, and I found them to be some of the most likable characters I've read about in a historical romance.

The secondary characters are humorous and help move the dialogue and storyline. I found myself frustrated with Hannah's aunt for her behavior, but I also found myself laughing at her hysterics, and surprised by her choices. I fell in love with Asher's family and would myself like to become a part of it. Everyone is full of love, understanding, and hard truths, and I can imagine a real family when reading about the MacGregors.

The ending is a shocker, and I was saddened to have THE MACGREOGOR'S LADY come to an end. Overall, I enjoyed Burrowes' THE MACGREOGOR'S LADY a great deal and romance fans will not be disappointed.

SUMMARY

What if the steps you take to avoid marriage...

Asher MacGregor's new life as the Earl of Balfour is nothing but a string of obligations, such as squiring a Boston heiress around her first London season. Surprisingly, the girl is no more interested in matchmaking than he is, allowing him to mourn his first—and secret—wife in peace...or so he thinks.

Lead you straight to it?

Hannah Cooper intended to endure a social season, then get back to Boston as quickly as possible, sans spouse. She fears for the family she left behind if her scheming step-father is left too long to his own devices. The reticent Scottish earl is her savior—until they are stranded together on the moors and can no longer deny their attraction. For if Hannah and Asher fall in love, an ocean of impossibilities stands between them.
