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.
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.
