“Megan remarked as she dismounted and turned her mare, Sir Ambrose, over to the waiting groom. That her horse was named after her husband, and before she’d ever met him, was—well, it was a long story. And Devlin certainly didn’t mind the name anymore, though at one time he had. They had just returned from a ride, where she had told him about the latest development in the MacGregor-Richards situation. Usually she rode in the early mornings, but if she wanted to ride with her husband, she had to m...ake allowances for his busy schedule, and he’d been attending to business all morning—which was why he’d missed the newest scandal-in-the-making. “And just what do you find funny?” he asked, taking her arm to lead her back to the house. “That I owe the Highlander another apology?” “No, not that—” She stopped in surprise. “You do? What for?” “Because I didn’t believe that story of his, about his inheritance being stolen,” Devlin said sourly. “I thought it was just a good ruse on his part to gain him sympathy.”MoreLessRead More Read Less

I remember reading this back when I was 16, and it must have been the layout of the website on my phone but I could have sworn there was only 14 chapters. So when I got to the end of chapter 14 I resigned myself to a mildly satisfactory end, the very kind that is ambiguous but hints at a favourable outcome that one reads sometimes. Little did I know. Returning to this book out of sheer search for a nostalgic read 5 years later I find that it boasts a generous 52 chapters. My oh my, what a pleasant surprise to know that the characters I had come to miss actually had more to their story. In my own experience, I received a sequel within the same book. 9.5/10.
