The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie by Jennifer Ashley

The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie (Mackenzies & McBrides, #1)

by Jennifer Ashley

A woman is drawn to a dangerously intruiging man in this unique historical romance from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ashley.

It was whispered all through London Society that Ian Mackenzie was mad, that he’d spent his youth in an asylum, and was not to be trusted—especially with a lady. For the reputation of any woman caught in his presence was instantly ruined.
 
Yet Beth found herself inexorably drawn to the Scottish lord whose hint of a brogue wrapped around her like silk and whose touch could draw her into a world of ecstasy. Despite his decadence and his intimidating intelligence, she could see that he needed help. Her help. Because suddenly the only thing that made sense to her was…The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie.

This book was such a fun ride! I can't wait to continue the next book and explore Isabella and Mac's relationship!

3 things I liked:
- that Beth was a woman who raised from the lower class into the upper class. And that Ian didn't have a problem with that
- that Beth stood up for Ian to his oldest brother. She's such a brave woman, who won't let anyone disrespect herself or the ones she love.
- the way Ian's autism was portraited. I can't speak for the representation myself, but I haven't heard anything negative about it, and to me it seemed like a true representation of the diagnosis
