Unfortunately for me, this second book in a series is not as funny or fresh as the first book was.
Recap:
Man spots trouble by the way of a boy being beat up.
Man helps boy
Boy gets hurt, badly.
Boy helps rescuer because he is a healer.
Man find out boy is not a boy at all - they have sex...a bunch of it. Man has vowed to never get anyone pregnant again since his first wife died in childbirth.
Oh and I forgot to mention that the Man's mother is trying to find him a second wife.
Things happen.
Meanwhile back at the castle - The Man's mother has the original episode of "The Bachelor" goin' on! The only problem is, is that one of these possible wives are not afraid to murder for what they want.
One of the problems with this book is that it is filled with...well, filler. Entire passages are recapped over and over. The reader might find themselves skimming pages to find the meat of the story. The who-dun-it aspect is really, really easy to figure out and is a bit of a let down.
The angst that the 'heroine' has gets annoying after while. She has found out that she is not really who she thought she was and she doesn't feel 'ladylike'.
The characters just have no pizazz, they are somewhat flat and the story pretty much relies on hot sex scenes to push the book on.
The first book in this series An English Bride in Scotland was so funny and fresh, that I thought the old Lynsay Sands was back, but now I can't be so sure.*ARC supplied for reviewing purposes*

I couldn't wait for this new book to come out and Mrs. Sands didn't disappoint. So far I have enjoyed all of Mrs. Sands books, this story was a nice fun read, and I'am glad I got it.
Now the reason's I only gave it four star's.
1.) I was able to figure out who the bad guy was pretty quickly when things started going wrong for the heroine.
2.) The second reason is only a small part at the end of the story but I found it to be annoying. I don't want to give to much away so I'll just say that Campbell's mother does something wrong to Jo but is almost instantly forgiven and everyone is happy again The End. Now if I had a mother-in-law that did this to me I would be pissed and not talk to her for a year maybe longer. Again this was just a small part of the book that other's might not even care about, but that I found very annoying.
3.) I felt like I have read this story before from this author. Different part's of the story reminded me of her other books, the horse going crazy, poison in the drink, girl dressed like a boy, heroine being insecure about her wifely ability's just to name a few.
Even after all that I did still enjoy the story. If you liked this book and even if you didn't you should check out two of my favorite books by this author Devil of the Highlands, and Sweet Revenge.

To say this book was bad, would be unfair to the author. To say this book has problems with the flow of the plot, typos and language difficulties would be a fair assessment.
I was asked to review this book and wasn't sure that I wanted to but here I am, while it is fresh in my mind since I just finished it this morning, I would like to state the difficulties I had with this book. It was not in areas where a reader could suspend disbelief.That happens in most historical romances. It was in the execution.
First off, this is the second book in this series following .. An English Bride in Scotland. I finished book one and immediately started this book. From book one Annabel's sister Kate is left going to an abby after committing crimes against her sister. She is pregnant with Joan, our heroine in this book. Kate dies and Joan is left to be raised by another woman named Maggie who Jane believes for MOST of this story to be her real mother.
************** SPOILERS BELOW*************
Upon Maggie's deathbed, she gives Jane a scroll to be sent to clan MacKay and has her set out on her own. Little does Jane know that this scroll contains the secrets of her birth and her relations surprise upon her arrival.
Here she is, a woman traveling alone dressed in clothes to look like a boy. Cam comes upon her being accosted by bandits. She is badly wounded and then he gets wounded and she cares for him. She is a healer. This part of the story drags on for about a third of the book as they travel together to reach Scotland. He agrees to go with her because she explains she is headed to clan MacKay and his clan is friendly with them.
I was wondering if they were going to ever reach Scotland.Read more ›

I really enjoy reading the book by one of my favorite authors. The story was an exciting romance that kept my interest. The description of the highlands was beautiful to me. The main character was a hunky highland Laird who I fell in love with at once. Campbell Sinclair being the kind of man who offers help to anyone, including a boy who was being attacked by bandits. He didn't set out to be wounded either. The boy names Jo was thankful that the man came at the right time. Being alone on a quest has it's drawbacks and not knowing the territory is frightening. Jo knows healing and sets out to help keep her rescuer alive.
Cam is grateful to the lad who has stayed by his side during his recovery and decides to take him to his destination. When Cam stumbles on the lad bathing in the river, he doesn't believe his eyes. The lad isn't a he but a she! Things heat up after this and you will not want to miss reading how "To Marry a Scottish Laird" turns out. Thanks edelweiss for letting me review this book.
