I
absolutely LOVED this book. The only reason I put it down from time to
time was because my kids need a mother. ;) This was a a great way to
wrap up the Tenacious Trent series.
Rose
Trent, a young widow, is the Dowager Countess of Bentley. She finds
herself on the adventure of a lifetime, although it didn't quite start
out that way. Kidnapped by a Scot after he found out who she was, she
was taken back to Laird Aiden MacGregor's manor.
Aiden
MacGregor is a handsome yet firm family man who for once, acted before
thinking. After sending a random letter to Rose's stepsons, he begins
to regret his rash decision to kidnap Rose. He knows that in doing so,
he has signed his own death warrant, as kidnapping will result with him
swinging from the gallows.
As
Rose becomes enamoured of his family... and of Aiden, she also finds her
true self. Married at 15 to a horrible man, she has never had such
freedom before as she has now. She finds herself falling in love with
Aiden, although since she has never been with a man such as he, she
truly has no idea what is happening. Aiden, on the other hand,
recognizes his feelings for Rose, and is determined to spend the rest of
his short life enjoying his time with her.
When
Rose's family receive word of her kidnapping, they rush to save her.
But when they find her, it's not what they expected. Will Rose and
Aiden be able to savor their sweet love, or will Aiden be prosecuted for
his crime?
This was a fantastic
book! As we see Rose come into her own, sampling freedom bit by bit,
the reader cheers her on. While she has said that she would never find
herself tied down to a man again, Aiden pulls at her heart strings and
opens experiences to her that she never believed possible. Aiden's
family is wonderful, and I hope we see more of them in the future. We
also get a chance to see the "other" Trents, cousins of the famous
Trents, and I can't wait to read more about them too!
I definitely recommend this book, as well as the other in the series.
