The Viscount's Vow is second in Collette Cameron's historical fiction series. It's set before the events of Highlander's Hope and focuses on half Romany Evangeline 'Vangie' and Ian Hamilton, the Viscount Warrick.Ian is determined to get revenge on Vangie after wrongly considering her to blame for the death of his younger brother. His vengeance mission goes somewhat array when he ends up accidentally in a compromising position with Vangie and they are forced to marry. Luckily for Ian, not only is Vangie extremely beautiful, she's extremely forgiving.Ian may be a rich and handsome Viscount, but he's also mistrusting of his new wife and treats her carelessly; he's torn between extreme lust and anger. His awful step-mother and flighty sister have convinced him of Vangie's loose morals and promiscuity.I loved all the scenes at the gypsy camp and meeting Vangie's grandmother. It was also really sweet watching Ian trying to fix things after he realised his huge mistake; he even learns the Romany language and goes out of his way to defend her family.There are a lot of misunderstandings along the way, most of which are caused by outside interference. The mystery element added a great deal of intrigue and gave the story more depth than a lot of other historical fiction stories.4 Stars in my Sky!I received a copy in exchange for an honest review!
