They had great chemistry and I loved their relationship build up. I also loved the secondary characters. The plot was great and the ending was very sweet! Loved it!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-19 00:00:00 Thomas Herrera Sir Lachlan Ross, heir to a Baronetcy in Ross Shire Scotland, and aka the Scottish Scourge, has made it his life's goal to take back what had been stolen from his father and their people. Even more than that, he had a single-mindedness to attain revenge against the man responsible for all the loss and humiliation he had suffered. He was determined to complete this revenge even if it meant becoming a thief and scoundrel himself. So, since the source of all his vexation had chosen to remain absent from his ancestry home in Scotland all these years, only to enjoy the high-society of London and the "ton," Lachlan handed over his acts of revenge to the "Scottish Scourge." That is, until the "Scourge" had met his own untimely demise, and at the orders of none other than his own nemesis. So, Lachlan's plans had to change. The fates were looking down on him with blessings when his pathway to vengeance appeared innocently in Edinburgh at a Celtic Society ball. Venetia was ecstatic about being back in Scotland after so many years of absence. It was the true home of her heart and ever would be. She had been so relieved when her father agreed to let her come to the ball in Edinburgh with her aunt as chaperone, she could almost forgive him for exiling them all these years from the Highlands. Venetia hoped it was just a beginning to his allowances when it came to Scotland. What better way to start out a night at a beautiful ball, then the attentions of a mysteriously, handsome, masked gentleman. She knew he was a stranger, yet he seemed so familiar somehow. Then when her aunt realized he looked similar to an old family friend, Laird Alisdair Ross, who was once their close neighbor in the Highlands, all of the painful, old memories of her childhood came flooding back. The death of the man she had been in love with since childhood coming back to invade her thoughts. The regret still poignant as it was when she had first heard of it. Strange this masked-man could remind her of Lachlan in so many ways? Sabrina Jeffries has delivered another romance with a headstrong heroine, who never gives up on her heart's desire. Smart, vivacious, witty, adventurous, and courageous, this reader couldn't help but love her! In many ways though, the hero didn't live up to the heroine. He was loveable on some tragic plane because of what he had suffered in his life. However, he made so many bad decisions, one after another, I couldn't help but end up so aggravated and angry. Truly by the end, I felt the heroine deserved so much more than what she was going to end up with. Even more frustrating, the hero almost always realized his stupidity in decision-making afterwards, but just kept repeating them. He just never seemed to learn. Of course, by the end he seemed to, but it really was rather too late for me. I still enjoyed the story and plot and think most readers of historical romance would like it. If however, you put most of your stones in the hero's basket, it may be bound to sink.
