This series is as awesome as I remember

For such a "good" girl, Ainsley really was a perfect match for the sinful Cameron. It's been years since I've read this one and my re-introduction to him did not show him in the best light. I had forgotten his past, the scars he wore and the life he'd led. I started The Many Sins of Lord Cameron only seeing his sins. Even at the beginning of the story, I was convinced that my 5-stars previously awarded, was wrong. I was convinced I had made one of those wacky "If I remember correctly..." mass ratings I did when I first started on Goodreads. And then I settled in...

Seriously, historical romance lovers, this series is awesome. OK, I should clarify. This series is awesome if you love stories with crazy family dynamics, messed up childhoods to overcome and characters with faults who know it but make the most of their situations. These men and women are loyal, strong and determined to succeed. This series puts me on a historical romance high and I've loved every return to their world.

I absolutely loved that the narrator did Ainsley's character with a strong and sensual voice. Too often, I find that with so many characters to portray, you can sometimes lose the essence of the character. Ainsley has made mistakes in her past but she's overcome them and made every effort to right her wrongs. She is a dedicated attendant to the Queen and manages to find herself in a tricky situation on one of her errands. This tricky situation has landed her in the bedroom of Lord Cameron, and he wants her to stay.

Again, this is not an easy read/listen. Lord Cameron's past marriage could turn your stomach when you hear the grizzly details. It's no bloody wonder he turns to oblivion to block it all out. The one shining light from his past is his son, Daniel. I loved that Daniel is funny and a bit of a rascal. He is way more mature than any 16-year-old should be and it's no wonder considering his father's and uncle's reckless and rakish ways. The two love each other but like most males, don't often share their feelings. Deep down they know they're loved.

I will definitely be going on. I have to know (be reminded) why I gave that very imperfect Duke...who marries a perfect wife, 5 stars.

I'm sorry, that was a bit of a rambling review, hope you can make some sense of it. Just know that I LOVE the Highland Pleasure series.

Well, it's official - the Mackenzies are damn delicious! I sooo want me one. This book was so good! I can't think of one complaint, and for me--as a critical reader--that's an odd feeling.
Cam and Ainsley's story was as amazing as the first books in the series, and I loved every second of it.

This book had wonderful characters.

The heroine, Ainsley, is a compassionate and strong woman who's been through quite a bit in her life. She is perceptive and opinionated and never shies or hides her feelings for Cameron in front of him, or to herself. She is loyal and wins over everyone who comes her way.

Cameron is a sexy (not surprising, he is a Mackenzie...), kind person wrapped in a harsh exterior and a mask of indifference. He's a wonderfully scarred man, both inside and outside (and girls - we all know how much we love emotionally scarred men), and there is something so endearing in seeing (I mean reading) about a man so big and strong feel fear like that. The deal with his wife is revolting. It's amazing a cute person such as Daniel can come from the woman. Speaking of it...

Daniel is Cameron's son and I enjoyed seeing this child grow. He's definitely turning into a Mackenzie hunk, and he might be one of the smartest Mackenzie's out there! He's got wisdom beyond his years, and I can't wait for his story, The Wicked Deeds of Daniel Mackenzie. I can't believe I have to wait until the end of 2013 for it! ~weep~

One of the things I loved was seeing all the gang again; Ian and Beth (333), Isabella and Mac, Hart and their various valleys.

I simply adore Jennifer Ashley's characters. They are always so real, so human, and you can't help but get attached to them and experience all their feelings. I just love it when it comes to a point where I pray they'll be together and find happiness, as if they're real people, and I always experience these feelings with Ashley's books.

The romance in the book is, once again, impeccable It's believable, builds over time and is just so sweet it hurts. They just fit together so perfectly!! There is no big anguish this book, no bad/super villain towering over our characters and making their life miserable just two people who find each other and are getting a second chance at love and happiness, and their sweet and wonderful story.

There is not much more I can say; Ashley's writing is as amazing as always, her plot as wonderful as ever, her characters as charming and humans as always, the romance as amazing as ever.

Highland Pleasures is one of my, if not the, most favorite Historical Romances series I've ever read. I've enjoyed this one as much as I did the former two, and I've no doubt I'll continue to enjoy these books.
If you have not yet tried of one of Jennifer Ashley's books, you ought to do so right away, especially if you like historical romances and delicious men in kilts...
