Publisher's Summary

Virginia Whitebridge is trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage. The law says her husband can have whatever he wants from her - so he's taken her inheritance. And he tried to kill her. After a close escape, Virginia feels protected for the first time in forever, thanks to the Scottish Highlands and the Highlander Magnus Sinclair. But she must go back to England, regardless of the danger, to reclaim what's hers. Even if it means leaving her heart in Scotland.

It's just Magnus' luck that he's fallen for a woman he can't have. Virginia is rich and titled... and English. To keep her safe, he must follow her to the one place he loathes - England. Where the bowing, preening London Society has a secret language of manners unknown to him. Where he is too large, too uncivilized, too everything.

Despite omens that death awaits him there, Magnus vows to help Virginia go to London and restore her fortune. Get in. Get out. Or die trying.

Each book in The Highlanders of Balforss series is stand-alone: Tying the Scot, Betting the Scot, Forgetting the Scot.

favourite book in the series so far!!!

I loved the story of Magnus and Virginia!! It was the least predictable book so far. The narrator is tolerable.

Ran out of steam at the end…

And got really sappy.

The premise was good. The story began interestingly and developed at a good pace but then towards the latter half of the book it seemed like the author lost focus or desire to conclude the story and it dragged. Prose became cringy and regularly annoying. Although Magnus was manly he seemed to have lost his balls towards the end and Virginia’s expectations were really a bit too much - all things considered. I was a bit disappointed. It’s a part of a series but I will give it a break before venturing on with the other books.

repetitive, and the main characters were annoying

the narrator was great and I enjoyed her use of accents, but I found the story extremely repetitive, the 'twists' were unsurprising and the main characters were tiresome and irritating. I could barely finish it and actually skipped a few chapters as I couldn't listen to it any more. i enjoy the author's other books and recommend reading them instead.
