Chasing an Heiress, Jun 22 2003
By M. Rondeau - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Glenlyon's Bride (Paperback)
When Niall Glenlyon returned to Scotland in 1840, it was in response to a summons from his Uncle and to establish some financial arrangements for his newly started coffee plantation on an island in the Indian ocean. The stories of Niall had him as a reputed pimp in a far Eastern brothel, a seducer of virgins, jungle hero, mercenary soldier, and the stories were more bizarre with the telling. What Niall really wanted was to escape the engagement party hed been roped into as quickly as possible. Disturbing the solitude hed found in a vacant library, was a vision, Elspeth Victoria Kildrummond, the fiancé and daughter of his host, late for her own engagement party because of meeting with her gypsy friends. It wouldnt be the last time Elspeth would disrupt Nialls plans as the fates conspired to bring these two together in a passionate, and dangerous game of hide and seek, as a murder of an old family retainer would cause Elspeth to run away in search of the truth of her familys and fiances betrayals. Elspeths father would hire Niall to chase down and bring his daughter, Elspeth home as she would lead Niall on a merry chase thru brothels, gypsy camps and numerous other adventures.
Elspeth is written as a very strong lead betrothed to George, a childhood friend who shes known forever and at least loves her. She had lost her innocence and her heart broken by a lovers betrayal some time before so she no longer trusted in love . She wasnt expecting to feel the emotions Niall aroused in her and fought them even as her faith in Georges and her fathers supposed betrayal was fueling her quest for the truth. Niall, who normally ran from anything or anyone that would cause him involvement couldnt for the life of him run from Elspeth. The secondary characters, of Nialls shaman valet, and others met along the way make this an engrossing and robust adventure. It was also a very sensual and enjoyable read that I can heartily recommend.
