I liked this book, but I didn't like a lot of the characters. They were stuffy, selfish, and troublesome. Most of them were Andrew's relatives. My favorite character is the main hero, the Scot himself, Andrew Langston. He is charming, humorous, stalwart, and loyal. He truly is the heart of his whole family and the story. I did enjoy Lady Jane and how she finally found the courage to change and stand up to her controlling mother and half-brother. The plot is good and the mystery to who's behind a failed murder for hire is quite shocking. I can't wait to read the second book in this series.
