This most interesting read takes place in 1821 in
Scottland, one historical romance I've enjoyed so much that
I will read it again. I laughed and I sighed, I praised the
characters actions and could not put the book down. That's
when you know, the author has truly written an artistic
book for memories and thoughts of past lives, loves and
living during hard times. Lord Mallory had won Lucinda's
beloved Scottish Estate, Bonniebroch, in a card game, but
he's an Englishman and a big surprise for many of the
Scott's, but a truly bigger surprise for Lord Mallory, for
not only did he win the Estate, but it comes with a
bethrothal to the hot red headed virgin Lucinda who will
stand down for no man, (Well maybe one man!) oh and did
I mention it comes with a curse too?
When Lord Mallory and Lucinda meet, there is a fire that
burns deep between them and an electrical current of force
so strong, they seem to melt into one. Everyone in the
Castle is very much aware of the curse and do everything
they can to help Lord Mallory and Lucinda come together.
Lord Mallory finds out that he has only twelve nights to
break the curse or no one can move forward in this life
time or the next one. Lucinda must fall in love with Lord
Mallory to break the curse of her own free will and she has
no problem doing so, but it's getting Lord Mallory to truly
believe a curse that if not broken can change the future
for everyone in the castle and especially for him and
Lucinda.
Some very strange things start going on in the castle and
Lord Mallory cannot believe what is happening at times, but
he soon accepts what is to be. Will he help to break the
curse or will he walk away from the strange and scary
goings on at the castle? Will he fight this curse to keep
Lucinda close to his heart for a lifetime, only time will
tell. I have read many of Mia Marlowe's books and she has
always made me a very happy reader!! I keep going back for
more of her works of art in writing!
Christmas in the Highlands. . . Not any dashing English lord's idea of a good time. But now that Lord Alexander Mallory has won a Scottish estate in a hand of cards, he is the unlikely laird of the wild, snowy Bonniebroch. Worse yet, the ancient pile of stones comes with a betrothal. To a fiery red-headed virgin. And a curse. Alex will have his hands full honoring the first, seducing the second and breaking the third. . .all by Twelfth Night.
