Why oh why can't all books be like this? I loved everything about it. I loved the characters, the story, and the feels between Ewan and Yvette. I felt them falling in love even while Yvette was being pursued by some very bad people who wanted to kill her.
I'm ahead of myself. I apologize. Yvette Stapleton is Vangie Caruthers cousin (see book 1, The Viscount's Vow). During the mentioned book, it is said that Yvette is going to America for two years. She did and had to make a quick getaway. Her parents have perished under questionable circumstances and she's next. She knows her stepbrother is behind it all and he is tenacious as all get out. What she wasn't counting on was it being a conspiracy and the actual motive. It surprised me.
Ewan McTavish, wow. I adored him so much. He's the Laird of Craiglocky as well as Viscount Sethwick. He doesn't have much of a brogue normally, but when he needs it, he's got it. It also surfaces when he's having intimate moments with Evvy. I loved it when that happened. He's a mix of Scot, his mother is French, and he came to be a viscount...it's convoluted, but works so well. His speech was what drew me to him. He spoke clear English, Scot, and French. He captivated me. He had a lot of feelings for Evvy, even though he didn't come right out and say it. He was so protective right from the moment he swooped her up in his carriage while she was running away from her stepbrother on the docks of the harbor where she'd arrived by ship.
Yvette--Evvy--she was so sweet. I liked her so much. She wasn't an overbearing, spoiled wealthy woman. She wanted to be independent and wasn't sure if she would ever marry because she wanted to marry for love. She didn't want her husband to want her for her money. She wanted him to want her for her. But with Ewan she seemed to forget all of that. She was undeniably attracted to him as he was her, but she didn't think it was love.
This led to some great tension and some compromising situations that were rated PG-13. Lots of people like the rated R scenes, but PG-13 was more than sufficient for this book. The scenes were descriptive rather than fade-to-black and were done without the crass language, yet it was totally understood what was going on with plenty of sensuality and sensitivity. The feelings between Ewan and Evvy screamed from the screen, especially during these scenes.
These components, combined with a more than a few villains and antagonists, made this book an easy, easy five stars. I'm excited to read the next book in the series.
Just as a side note, I like big books, but sometimes they tend to drag when there's so much information and things going on. That did NOT happen with this novel. Every page was worthwhile. I didn't feel the need to skip parts nor did I think there were any parts that were just fluff. The book was a mover and shaker from the second I started reading it.
