The Highlander's English Bride

We finally get twin, Graeme Kendrick's story. Who is the perfect lass for this highlander? Why Lady Sabrina Bell, the only child of a wealthy English earl, and the goddaughter of the King....and boy is she a spitfire! While Graeme is working undercover for King’s spymaster early one morning, he witnesses someone attacking a woman and pushing her into the Serpentine. Graeme really wants to chase after the assailant, but ends up rescuing the woman out of the water instead. Of course said woman is Lady Sabrina Bell. Graeme finds it curious that Lady Sabrina is out and about unescorted that early in the morning but still ends up helping her out. This starts their war of wills. Both of these two are stubborn and passionate about everything in their lives....which of course always makes for a good match! ;) When Graeme is tasked with providing security for the King for his trip to Scotland, he is completely thrown when Lady Sabrina shows up getting off the ship. Of course the Kendrick's clan find this new turn of events amusing! As Graeme and Lady Sabrina spend more time together, feelings toward each other start to change and before they know it, they find themselves yearning for the other. When it appears that someone is out to harm Lady Sabrina, Graeme's alpha protective ways start to show and these two have a fun showdown! Of course it also causes them to profess their love for each other too! It was so fun watching these two stubborn, headstrong individuals fall hard! I just adored Lady Sabrina. She is a great, kick butt, take no prisoners type of person and putting her up against a redheaded alpha male highlander provided for some great moments. Together they brought us a great story and a perfect happy ending!

He should have known she would be trouble! After thwarting his plans not just once, but repeatedly, Graeme Kendrick should have given up and accepted his fate. He certainly did not anticipate that Lady Sabrina Bell would make him the prey and she the hunter. Graeme's life is complicated at best and as an operative for the King's spymaster, he has no time for personal interests and definitely not for a relationship with someone of the female persuasion. However, when Lady Sabrina keeps popping up in unexpected places, Graeme begins to come under the spell of the stubborn lass. The plot of this entertaining story is exciting and suspenseful, and yet there are passages that are so hilarious that my stomach ached from laughing. The book is well written, romantic and a standalone. It brought to light a number of historical events that took place in the era, including George IV's visit to Scotland at the invitation of Sir Walter Scot in 1822. I love the main characters in this book and the Kendrick family with their overwhelming sibling loyalty and ties touches the heart. Lady Sabrina is not only a perfect match for Graeme but for the Kendrick family as well. I received a copy of this book through NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Can I just say Delightful? Loved every second? Laughing out loud and could not get enough? Of course I have to mention a really brawny Scot (because of the clean Highland air no doubt) with a brogue I am sure would just melt your heart? Whether it is stalking a criminal or saving a lady from drowning in the Serpentine (regardless that she could stand up and put her feet on the bottom!), Graeme Kendrick, was your man when you needed a spy to run down a criminal! Seriously when Graeme and Lady Sabrina meet, yes, thief, reticule snatched, falling in water, it becomes some of the wittiest banter to the point that my jaws almost hurt!! Then the fun begins. From London to the Highlands of Scotland, these two end up together and it seems danger and rescuing each other and sparks just seem to ignite. Vanessa Kelly always engages you from the first and captures the imagination with her skilled pen that takes you on a journey you will not soon forget!
