Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.
Angus MacDonald has left his home on the remote Scottish island of Benbecula in order to find Lord Burtenshaw, and seek out the property stolen from his people. With his sister Eilidh in tow for the Season, they hope that they will be able to break into society, and gain entry into Burtenshaw's circle. However, they soon realise that the lord is a stickler for high society, and abhors anything Scottish. Luckily, though, his younger brother and sister, Max and Isabella, are warm and welcoming, and soon the quartet are as thick as thieves. But where Isabella knows that she must marry by the end of the season, on express orders of her brother, Angus has no intention of marrying anytime soon, no matter how strongly he cares for Isabella.
When I read the first book in this series, I was blown away by the characters, and jumped at the opportunity to read book 2. A Laird in London was the perfect mix of London society, and Scottish friendship. Angus and Isabella's connection was true, and though their courtship was fraught with drama, I was overjoyed with how it ended. Lord Burtenshaw was a pompous twit, and I don't really understand how he had siblings as caring as Max and Isabella. The last few chapters kept me on my toes, and I'm dying to read A Laird for the Highland Lady, and seeing Max and Eilidh find happiness. A great addition to the Lairds of the Isles series!
