Romance Historical

SCOTSMAN OF MY DREAMS is the second book in MacIain series and can be read as a standalone novel. This is the story of an unconventional woman and a former scoundrel who embark on a daring mission of desire.

Dalton Maclain, a former notorious rake, has returned from America during the Civil War, scarred, almost completely blind, and has just found out that his older brother died in a hunting accident and now he is the Earl.

Dalton doesn't want to return to his old haunts and wants to stay home in order to deal with his new situation, blindness and being the Earl. He is not prepared to meet the stubborn Miss Minerva Todd, the sister of the man he blames for his blindness. Minerva's brother, Neville, is one of the rakes who followed Dalton to America and the last thing Dalton remembered is that Neville tried to kill him. Minerva doesn't have any choice except to encounter the notorious rake, Dalton, to finds out what happened to her brother.

I loved SCOTSMAN OF MY DREAMS. It is a fabulous book with a great plot that moves at a swift pace and keeps you guessing who the villain is. The love story is enthralling. The characters are intelligent and strong. I loved how Dalton dealt with his blindness and tried to be a responsible earl. I adored Minerva's character. She was a modern, stubborn heroine who loves her brother and does anything in her power to find out what happened to him.

SCOTSMAN OF MY DREAMS is another beautifully written story by Karen Ranney that keep you enthralled through the whole story.

SUMMARY

In New York Times bestselling author Karen Ranney's second novel in her breathtaking series, an unconventional woman and a former scoundrel embark on a daring mission of desire

Once the ton's most notorious rake, Dalton MacIain has returned from his expedition to America during the Civil War—wounded and a changed man. Instead of returning to his old haunts, he now spends his time at home. But Dalton's peace is disturbed when Minerva Todd barges into his London townhouse, insisting he help search for her missing brother Neville. Though Dalton would love to spend more time with the bewitching beauty, he has no interest in finding Neville, whom he blames for his injury.

Minerva has never met a more infuriating man than the Earl of Rathsmere, yet she is intrigued by the torrid rumors she has heard about him . . . and the fierce attraction pulling her toward him.

Dalton does not count on Minerva's persistence, or the desire she awakens in him, compelling him to discover her brother's fate. But when danger surrounds them, Dalton fears he will lose the tantalizing, thoroughly unpredictable woman he has come to love.
