1817 England and Scotland
Virginia Whitebridge was sold by her father for her wealth for a title. It was no more than being in prison or forced slavery. Yet being a man's world she is forced to take the wicked cruelty and barbaric brutality. He is a villain with every sense the word! Virginia has never known love with an uncaring father and evil demonic husband.
The only thing she feels happy about is an ongoing business venture. That is to open a home for abandoned and orphaned children in the streets of London. She felt this was her calling and a sure thing. Since this was her private finances with money her husband was not entitled to touch. Yet she gets devastating news, that her hairbrained solicitor just handed over every penny to her swine of a husband! The nightmare that wouldn’t end, with the worst, cruelest, being in her life!
Shortly after that she is duped by a starving child. She gets abducted with several other women, to be sold in human trafficking, slavery, to the West Indies. Luckily one of the women was the fiance of a Scottish Sinclair Clan. They rescue the women and this is where she meets the kindest, bravest not to mention the most handsome man she ever known. The attraction is immediate and sizzling hot!
Yet, Virginia is not being honest and hiding her true identity. Unfortunately an acquaintance from her past is there. Lucy went to school with her in England, now in Scotland and married to Alex Sinclair! As Lucy Sinclair once was very much infatuated with Virginia's husband. Lucy can't figure out why she hasn't written to her husband, to tell of her misfortunate abduction and rescue. He must be so worried she thought shouldn't he be?
Virginia has asked Lucy not to tell anyone of her marriage or royal title. Claiming her husband ßwould lose all acceptance by the ton. That is if they found out his wife was on a ship full of pirates for three months! Yet really Virginia is scared for her life and needs to investigate and find out if her husband was behind her abduction.
The chemistry is hot and heavy, even though Virginia has been married for three years-Magnus gives Virginia her first kiss ever! Yet the guilt spills in and she confesses her marriage. Not only that but her title as an English Viscountess. Something that is way too high for farmer, Magnus Sinclair, which leaves him devastated and broken hearted.
She is like the fragile China his mum warned him off as a child. He can look, but not touch, but boy oh boy, did he want to touch! Then his cousin Declan who has a mysterious power in his dreams. He is the hero in Betting the Scot, book #2. Magnus asks his cousin Declan who is a seer about a vision he has. He also knows when his cousin is lying to him. Did he possibly see his death is this sight? He can’t seem to stay away from Virginia, and is determined to help her get her finances back, as well as her dreams in London. The problem is, Magnus hates England and englishmen more than anything else in the world! In addition he wants a woman he knows he can never have!
Will Virginia's dreams come true? Is it wrong to desire a kind heroic man when you are in a loveless abusive marriage? Will her dream for a home for orphans and street urchins ever come true? Will her finances ever be restored? Can she ever have the titless, man of her dreams, desires, and heart? A true hero and the true prince of all men!
Watch the steam, smoke and sizzle come right off the pages with the dreams and desires of this star-crossed couple. A story about achieving your dreams and desires no matter what the cost.
Again Jennifer Trethewey blows me away with her golden pen and her superbly storytelling visions and talent. Another book that will touch your soul and melt your heart. An awe inspiring book that is absolutely unforgettable! It exactly the the type of book that historical romance readers will love.
Beautiful settings, magnificent dialogue, dashing hero and a stunning heroine. Also secondary characters that are absolutely brilliant! However the plotting is so exhilarating, that it will have readers holding their breath with anticipation, not knowing what could possibly happen next! This book is a fast quick paced, action packed, page turning, riveting romantic adventure. It is filled with abduction, abuse, treachery, murder, betrayal, lies, deception, mayhem, trust, faith, protection, respect, passion and love.
A book historical romance readers don’t want to miss. As it is a phenomenal story from prologue to epilogue that will stay with you long after you have finished. A definite shelf keeper that readers will want to reread again and again. Jennifer Trethewey is one of those talented authors that knows exactly how to bring readers into her stories and never letting go. It’s a rare quality that only very gifted authors have!
This is the third book, in the (Highlanders of Balforss) series which is absolutely phenomenal. It was a total delight to read. I could not put it down!
I can’t recommend “Forgetting the Scot” by Jennifer Trethewey enough! As all the books in the The Highlanders of Balforss series you can read them each as stand alone books too.
