Lady Sarah has plans for her future. None of which include a husband or children. She has been writing in a journal for years, except they weren't her experiences she was conjuring, but those of fictional romances. On the break of stardom, to be considered an astounding colleague with the likes of Jane Austen, she is not willing to give it up for anything or anyone.
Professor Braeden McKinnon of the University of Edinburgh changes her plans. The dashing Professor has it all, good looks, family connections, and a brain he uses on a regular basis. When Lady Sarah announces them as husband and wife to get a room at an inn, he doesn't let on that her declaration is legally binding in Scotland.
Being an author myself, I felt myself siding with Sarah's decisions to continue on with her plans of returning to London once her book was published. Braeden states throughout the novel he will be going to Rome for a dig if he is chosen. I really didn't see any problem with that eventual outcome. As the story progressed after their marriage, I could tell heartache would be fast and swift for the both of them and had me shedding a few tears.
As this was my first experience with Hutton's writing, I fell in love with her flowing writing style. I loved the way both of the characters came to realize how the work they had devoted themselves for so many years wasn't all there was in life. The change for both Sarah and Braeden is slow, but well worth it. I cannot wait to go back and read the first five novels as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks so much to Callie Hutton and Entangled Publishing for gifting me with a copy of The Highlander's Accidental Marriage in exchange for an honest review.
