“Are ye all right, lass?” Caelen murmured, jarring her from her thoughts. His dark eyes held kindness as they swept her face, his forehead furrowed in concern. “Yvaine?” He shifted upon his feet, his tall stature a looming shadow as he leaned closer, and then he reached out a hand as though longing to touch her face.
Yvaine tensed, suddenly overcome by the realization that Caelen—Caelen MacCarmaig!—was standing right here in front of her. Caelen MacCarmaig from the legends of old with eyes the color of a deep sky, and hair as dark as night. The sight of him sent her pulse racing. His powerful frame, toned and tall, exuded strength, and yet shrouded in darkness, a certain air of mystery surrounded him. Always had he been her hero—he and Yvaine both—and now...
A mystical time slip sends her into the arms of her destined soulmate, but a generations-old blood feud stands in the way of their forbidden love...
Can Yvaine and Caelen's romance overcome all odds to bring their warring Scottish clans together?

★★★★★Jessica RusselI have never met (read ;)) a Bree Wolf novel I didn’t enjoy. I read this in about 2 days, I was totally sucked in to Yvaine and Caelen’s story!
★★★★★Berneta GrangeI just can't put them down! I'm reading late at night and hate to go to bed! They are very well written and I love that there isn't bad language or scenes. Just lots of adventure, drama and set on the edge of my seat, to see what happens next! Thank you for writing such awesome books!
★★★★★Tammy WindsorThis was a fast-paced, swoon-worthy read, that I found I did not want to put down! The story was fresh, original and exciting with characters that are realistic and likable. It is everything you could want in a rousing romp through the pages of a historical romance and more!
BREE WOLF is a USA Today bestselling author and award-winning word wizard, who is rarely seen without a book in hand or fingers glued to the keyboard.
This book was just lovely! I can't even begin to describe just how great this book was. It was intense in all the best ways. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
Benjamin Bailey is an American with an interesting history. He was born into the printing business in Boston and after a tragedy, moved to London to try his hand there and to stay with his grandfather. He’s got long hair and an unkempt beard. His clothes are too big and not all fashionable and his fingers are stained with ink. He doesn’t keep track of his schedule and is either late or forgets all together for meetings and events. He’s a busy man and is trying to buy out Prudence’s brother, the Duke of Clearford, who is part owner of the print shop.
The duke has a proposition for him. Samuel knows that Prudence is hiding something. She has an aversion to marriage and often slips out of balls to go meet with her friends. He has no idea what she’s doing and in order to find out, he asks his friend, Ben, to spy on her. If Ben finds out what she’s up to, Samuel will sell his interests to Ben.
Prudence…how I loved her. She’s witty, intelligent, and by the standards set forth by the ton, not the prettiest of the Merriweather sisters. She’s often overlooked and underestimated, which made it easier for her to sneak away during social events. She’s also a stickler for schedules and keeping them. So when her brother’s friend, Benjamin Bailey, starts showing an interest in her, she’s naturally suspicious. Nobody has ever wanted her for her. There was always something else in the mix; something for the perspective suitor to gain. She was never the prize…until Benjamin Bailey.
I loved this story. Ben is not at all what the ton expects him to be and he really doesn’t care. But he does care what Prudence thinks. What started out as a business deal soon became an affair of the heart, something neither were expecting and something Prudence wasn’t at all convinced was real. This was a novel of acceptance, forgiveness, and redemption. It fired on all cylinders. It had some moments of humor (I adored Ben’s grandfather), some angst, some feels, steam, and the happy ending they both deserved.
There was a side story going on with just enough detail to keep me intrigued. Cora and her forced marriage to Lord Norton is the subject of the next novel in this series and one I’m anticipating. Cora and Prudence are friends and Prudence goes to great lengths to help Cora in this book. I’m anxious to see how Lord Norton and Cora come out in the next installment and hope to see Ben and Prudence again
I have been waiting for this story and it did not disappoint! Hot and spicy. Ben’s Cinderella moment was all I hoped it would be. Prudence finally telling off her brother was worth the wait. A hilarious grandfather thrown in for good measure, made for a lot of fun. This book also has a second story since Prudence and Cora were wearing the same costume to the ball. Already looking forward to First Comes Courtship. I love this series!
I loved that this was a best friends sister story without all the “can’t be around you” bull. Even though Evelyn has been secretly in love with Rochester for years, he is the one she calls on for help and he answers in his own way. Both of them have past trauma to come to terms with and he needs to reconnect with his family. This is a new to me author and I liked that she took a different approach to the story from similar things I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would read more by this author.
I LOVED this delightfully challenging journey to hea for Lord Dalton Rochester and Lady Evelyn “goose” Markham. So many heartfelt moments, teasing flirtations and misunderstandings that come to light in this wild and fun yet tempered tale. Love all the characters and seeing some from the past included. I highly recommend this book as I couldn’t put it down!
