This was just a solid genre read that has everything romance readers love, with some important twists. The soon to be Duke hasn’t grown up in the ton and the English romantic interest is anything but a hothouse flower. Through these characters the classic tropes of “unexpected inheritance,” “wallflowers,” and “kilted hero vs. fancy maiden” get a makeover with the added bonus of some mystery and intrigue. My only quibble is that the whole plot, both the romance and the mystery, get neatly tied up in what feels like two seconds. Yes, the clues are there, and yes, the slow burn is fun stuff, but this could have been a little more artfully resolved. Nonetheless, fans of kilt-clad historicals will find a winner in this book. Lots of room for more books in the series, which I eagerly await.
