From the Publisher

In this enjoyable Regency romance, the Prince of Wales tells Jillian Alton that if she can successfully domesticate and make presentable to the ton wild Highlander Ian MacLeod, Prinny will give her enough money to bring out her younger sister the following Season. Jillian’s late husband had beaten her, and his heir now wants her for the same nefarious purpose. Ian is the stereotypical Highlander—broad of accent and quick to heroics. Jillian is initially shocked by his impetuosity, flirtatiousness, and language. Yet once Ian discovers that Jillian’s stepson intends to marry and abuse her, he is determined to rescue her from that fate. A hint of magic enters the story when Jillian is given a faery stone to protect her from a murderer. Verdict The dialog sparkles, although there is some clunky phrasing here and there and several of the Scots phrases are not entirely authentic. Still, Breeding has successfully created appealing characters while merging elements of traditional Regencies, magic, and Scots brawn into an enjoyable read.—B. Allison Gray, Santa Barbara P.L.
