Book Synopsis
Lady Jane Everard cannot abide the new Earl of Hadley. The unmannered Scot is a menace to genteel ladies everywhere, what with his booming laugh and swishing kilt and endless supply of ‘ochs’ and ‘ayes.’ Jane wishes Lord Hadley would behave as an earl should and adhere to English rules of polite conduct.
Andrew Langston, the new Earl of Hadley, knows that the English aristocracy think poorly of his lowly Scottish upbringing. This is hardly new. History is littered with the English assuming the worst about Scotland. By living up to their lowest expectations, he is simply fulfilling his civic duty as a Scotsman.
Jane sees Andrew as an unmannered eejit. Andrew considers Jane to be a haughty English lady. But, as the saying goes, . . . opposites attract.
And what if beneath his boisterous behavior and her chilly reserve, Andrew and Jane are not nearly as different as they suppose? Can Scotland and England reach a harmonious union at last?
My Review
I liked this book, but I didn't like a lot of the characters. They were stuffy, selfish, and troublesome. Most of them were Andrew's relatives. My favorite character is the main hero, the Scot himself, Andrew Langston. He is charming, humorous, stalwart, and loyal. He truly is the heart of his whole family and the story. I did enjoy Lady Jane and how she finally found the courage to change and stand up to her controlling mother and half-brother. The plot is good and the mystery to who's behind a failed murder for hire is quite shocking. I can't wait to read the second book in this series.
