Romance
The youngest brother in Clan Kendrick has become a charismatic force
in his own right—especially when the perfect woman gallops into his
life—in the latest novel in USA Today bestselling author Vanessa Kelly’s sparkling Scottish Regency series.
Charlotte
“Charlie” Stewart would rather don a kilt and ride her horse than
simper in a ballroom. But with her younger sister about to be wed, she
can’t escape the pressure to be next. A husband has been chosen, and
Charlie’s fate seems set. Until an afternoon gallop sends her horse
colliding with Kade Kendrick, the broad-shouldered Highlander who was
once her childhood pal . . .
As a youth, Kade felt overshadowed
by his older siblings. Now he’s a renowned musician whose fame provides
cover for his other work—as a spy. Home from his latest mission, he’s
annoyed to be roped into attending the wedding of a family friend—until
it reunites him with the fearless tomboy who has become a breathtaking
beauty. And though his thoughts should be on a new concerto, Kade is
soon distracted by rival suitors, a dangerous quest—and the
unconventional woman who fills his soul with music and his body with
desire . . .
4 STARS
Both Charlie and Kade were easy to like beginning from their childhood friendship to their present day lives. Each in their own way didn't fit the mold of what most people expected them to be, especially free spirited Charlie. Her family couldn't figure her out and for the most part didn't like her ways. Oh, they loved her but find her odd too.
Kade is and has always been loved by his family but they were often overprotective because of his being so sick as a youth. They still see his as that "lad" who needs to be coddled for being frail. Only a few of his family see that he has changed, although they still desire to protect him.
Charlie spends a fair amount of time amused by the antics of Kade's family and she really likes them. His family likes her too. Charlie also spends a fair amount of time apologizing for her family's antics. Which really isn't needed as Kade tells her often. He teases her that her family's antics are mild compared to his family and that amuses Him !
The only downside for me was that there were several subjects that felt over done. Meaning that it just kept going back over more than I personally needed it to.
Plenty of hi-jinks follow with some dangerous ones as well. Charlie leads everyone on a merry chase at times but Kade is happy to follow after her.
Everything comes to a good ending with a H.E.A. Epilogue to finish it off.
