Library Journal Review
At 29, Daisy Bristol, Lady Chatwick, has less than three months to find a husband or forfeit her son's inheritance, as stipulated by her late husband's will. To guarantee nine-year-old Ellis has a future, she'll agree to another marriage of convenience, but she's wrecked emotionally and swarmed by suitors after her fortune. Needing time to think, she travels with Ellis and loyal cousin Belinda and Uncle Alfonso to Auchenard lodge in the Scottish Highlands. Scotsman Cailean Mackenzie, laird of Arrandale and successor to the head of the respected Mackenzie clan, intercepts her on her journey. But Cailean isn't at all interested in a wife, especially not an Englishwoman. Now feeling like a pariah in enemy territory, Daisy sees the sudden return of her first love, British naval officer Rob Spivey, as a godsend. Yet when Rob's hidden agenda comes to light, Daisy is back to square one, and this time she just might have to go it alone. Verdict Haunted by a past failed relationship, our hero is loath to trust his instincts and let go of prejudice, while our heroine combats the opposite challenge, trusting too quickly and suffering repeated disappointment. London (Wild Wicked Scot) keeps her promise of a happy ending, but readers will wonder, as they empathize with both sides, breathing a sigh of relief when the final vows are sealed.-Annalisa Pesek, Library Journal © Copyright 2017.
