The MacGregor's Lady (MacGregor Series)
As Burrowes continues her MacGregor series (Once Upon a Tartan, 2013), Hannah Cooper’s Boston family sends her across the sea to London to make a good match—or else. Her tyrannical stepfather has trapped her family under his unpleasant rule. Yet rather than think of escape, Hannah wants only to get her inheritance and return to save her loved ones. Asher MacGregor, the new earl of Balfour, is not interested in debutantes but takes paying his debt seriously in the form of showing the Boston heiress the proper way to do things in London. They soon realize that they are the only match for each other, but they cannot figure out how to take care of their familial responsibilities. As usual, Burrowes brings strong conflict and emotion to a very appealing cast. Her secondary characters are as colorful as the hero and heroine, and readers will enjoy revisiting beloved characters, including the Windhams. And Asher’s background and mixed-race heritage bring interesting facets to the time period and to this excellent series. --Amy Alessio
