Review
A sweet romance and a belated coming of age - I really enjoyed this book! It ties in with the previous book in the series but stands well alone, though you likely will be seeking the others as Catherine Tinley's writing is delightful.
Poor Max does not come across as a hedonistic layabout, but a lifetime has convinced him that he is useless. This is his coming of age as he seeks to shed his ennui and do something useful with his life. I especially liked that he grew because it was the right thing to do, not merely to win Eilidh over. Having said that, he is easy to like and I can understand why Eilidh falls for him. I would've liked Eilidh to have a bit more of an arc but that is a minor point.
It's a feel good Scottish Regency romance that doesn't shy away from the lasting damage caused by the English - but reminds you that it's not what your ancestors did but what you do now that matters.
