I have just read CLAIMED BY THE HIGLAND WARRIOR AND SEDUCED BY HER HIGHLAND WARRIOR.Ms. Willingham had three others in her "Accidental" series on sale, so I snapped them up.This one, THE ACCIDENTAL COUNTESS, didn't have the things that bothered me in the others. The repetition was minimal and there were issues outside of the couple instead of things that could have been fixed with one or two sentences.Which made THE ACCIDENTAL COUNTESS a very nice read.Stephen has been gone, with no word, for months. He set off to find Emily's brother. Daniel has been returned to Emily, dead. As you can imagine, this has been very hard on Emily.Now Stephen is back, with no memory of marrying Emily and no clue where he's been, beside the tattoo, in Chinese, on his neck. While on the on the one hand Emily wants to fling her arms around her husband, on the other she really wants to smack him hard, or poison his tea. She knows that he was at his mistresses home just before he disappeared. HOW she knows that was never explained.That happens a couple of times in this book. Something is mentioned, but not explained. Lots of red herrings that don't go anywhere, and don't really fit with the story.To top things off for him, she tells him that they are the guardians of her niece and nephew. He really doesn't think that he signed on to be a father, much less a husband.Still, this was an enjoyable read. Who doesn't like seeing a man holding a baby, right?
