This is a good, solid Regency story. Moira is desperate to marry a man who lives in Scotland to take her away from her overbearing, shrewish mother.  She has decided on Scotland because she's certain her mother will never visit her there.  Upon mentioning this to her sister-in-law, she's overheard by a young buck who puts her name in the betting book at White's.  I won't go into details, because that would spoil the premise of the story.Gideon is good friends with Moira's brother and he happens to live most of the year at his estate in Scotland.  Moira does not know this.  As she and Gideon become friends and discover their attraction for each other, Moira finds herself wishing Gideon lived in Scotland.  Or maybe Scotland isn't so important after all?Jane Charles always writes well with great dialogue and a touch of humor.  I found this book a tad repetitive, which is not typical of her writing.  I don't think I noticed this the first time I read the book, but I also own the audio and I noticed it more when listening to it for second reading.  Even so, the characters are charming, the plot is simple but effective and this is a light, fun read.** Clean romance with nothing beyond kissing.
