Lady Isabella caused a scandal by eloping with Lord Mac MacKenzie on the eve of her debut ball. Then she caused another scandal by leaving him three years later. Now she has arrived at Mac's doorstep to tell him someone is copying his paintings. Mac doesn't care who is making money on his art; but he does care about Isabella. She left him because he was a selfish drunk. Now he has cleaned up his act and wants to win Isabella back.I was looking forward to this book after reading the first book in the series, but I found this story to be very slow. Isabella and Mac still love each other, but have to learn to trust each other again. The secondary story of counterfeit art was kind of interesting, but didn't take up many pages. My rating: 3 Stars.
I actually liked parts of this book better than I did the first installment of the series. I liked the relationship and banter, I think the conflicts were resolved neatly, and although I had a big moment of "ugh" when the portrayal of Mac felt more like lipservice than anything else (specifically, the fact that it was portrayed as if Mac wasn't kind of a Nice Guy TM at some particular moments, and as if there wasn't a huge gap in power between the two of them due to her being married to him) but overall, this book was very, very enjoyable. I already started the fourth book, but just now realised that maybe I should read Mac's book first after all. As always with Jennifer Ashley, I'll go with 3.5 until I know where's what. ;)
Not as good as first book in the series, but a good romance
