ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 3, 2014
Asher MacGregor has returned from years wandering the Canadian wilderness to assume an earldom he’s avoided, and to seek a bride he does not want. He’s saddled with an additional family obligation in the form of Boston heiress Hannah Cooper, whom he is to escort about the London ballrooms so she might find an English husband.
Hannah is no more interested in settling in Britain than Asher is in returning to the New World, and yet their sympathy for one another soon turns to passion. With Hannah anxious to return to the family she’s trying to protect in Boston, and Asher bound to his earldom in the Highlands, they must trust in love to span an ocean of differences and difficulties.
REVIEW
5 out of 5 for this reader folks!
Another perfect review for one of my fave historical romance author Grace Burrowes. I know, I know, it’s hard to believe I gave her another 5 out of 5 … insert eye roll! LOL
The MacGregor’s Lady is the final book in her MacGregor Trilogy and the one I was really interested in reading the most. I think it’s because Asher MacGregor was set up to be some kind of mystery that I felt the need to solve. I am happy to report that his story didn’t let me down at all!
Asher MacGregor has been avoiding his inherited earldom like the plague and has been living life in the Canadian wilderness (I knew he was my fave for a good reason .. lol). He has been tasked to accompany Hannah Cooper (an American heiress) to England for the current season so she can land herself a husband. Both Asher and Hannah would prefer to stick needles in their eyes than to participate in the spouse seeking customs and through this reluctance, our leading man and lady bond!
One would think that there is a simple solution here. Marry each other and avoid all the fuss of the ton. Well the idea is laid on the table and then refused. Hannah needs to return to her family and Asher needs to inherit a title and a big fat ocean separates their own personal conquests. However, this fast and furious friendship quickly turns to something so much more, and imagining the distance from each other becomes what they begin to fear most (more so than spouse seeking)! Through this story, personal history of heartache and despair (Grace Burrowes is the master at this), these two were so easy to fall in love with!
So the pace of this book is slower than some of her other novels I have read. Despite the lack of action, my heart strings were pulled, and the past of these two characters was so intriguing to read, I didn’t find myself missing the action at all! Again, Grace Burrowes makes another “meant to be together” couple. I am so pleased at the interaction of Asher with his family and admit I teared up a few times.
A satisfying conclusion to an amazing trilogy.
HAPPY READING! 🙂
