Highland Rogue, London Miss (Regency Highland, #1) (Harlequin Historical, #1006)

by Margaret Moore

"Quintus MacLachlann is arrogant - unapologetically so. When he's asked to impersonate one half of a married couple to infiltrate Edinburgh society, he relishes the challenge of being "married" to the frustratingly willful yet beautiful Esme. Esme makes no bones about her fervent dislike of the dishonored rake. He's the last person on earth she can conceive of marrying, sham or otherwise. But being forced to play wife to the handsome-as-sin wastrel brings up very real feelings of desire." - Taken from cover p.4.

Quintus MacLachlann is a man of many talents, he had to learn to survive when he was disowned by his family. His friend Jamie McCallan convinces him to bring Esme MacCallan to Edinburgh to investigate what is going on with his ex-fiance's family. His ex, Catriona McNare is convinced that her father is in financial difficulties but not telling her.

Now the story was pretty good, I found it quite entertaining, however there was no sense of location, Edinburgh is a complex and interesting city with a myriad of little alleyways and geography that would bend your brain, but there was no sense of that. It just didn't sing to me. I did like the characters and Esme is a great fun read. Also, however, it was very irresponsible of her brother to send her to Edinburgh with a male, with whom she isn't related. Someone like that in that period wouldn't have even considered it.

Good but left me with niggles. (
