We return again to Thornewall where Lord Dominic awaits the holiday season, unaware of the many surprises this year will bring him. His step brother Jake is off living the good life, with Lady Isabel, awaiting the arrival of their first child. Of course, all wonder when the rakish devil himself, Dominic, will capture a bride and not just another conquest to notch upon his bedpost.Lucy Montgomery is a young woman who would rather die than become a notch on the Lord's notorious conquest post. Her family heads off to spend the holidays at Thornewall, much to her protests.Having just enjoyed Borderland Bride I came into this with high hopes and I admit, I was not disappointed by the author in the least. The characters remain strong, the story delightfully written and the plot, while not 100% unique, carries itself without needing to drop the reader into boredom. In fact, I will say that there were even some aspects that were more to the unique. In truth, there really is only so many sagas that one can create when attempting to stay true to history. Alas, the genre of historical romance could lose strength on the charts...unless authors like Holt continue to pursue the style.I will admit that there came a scene within the book that left me teetering on the edge of...yikes, did we just change genre? I guess, that ultimately shows my age. Romance has to evolve and progress, even the historical variety. Let's just stay there would be a steam rating on this book. ** Big Smile **So, now where do we go? What's next for Samantha Holt? I would love to see more in The Borderland Legacy series, watch the characters age and the saga of the Borderlands progress. Regardless, I will be keeping this author on my radar.** Note - I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
