Tracy’s Review:

The Lord's Inconvenient VowThe Lord’s Inconvenient Vow by Lara Temple

Tracy’s rating: 3.5/4 of 5 stars

Series: Sinful Sinclairs #3

Release Date: October 29, 2019

Lady Samantha “Sam” Sinclair and Lord Edward “Edge” Edgerton grew up together in Egypt, Edge left for war with Sam’s brothers, but is now back. Sam always thought Edge was too stuffy and proper, but now that she is 18 she is seeing him in a new light – but almost as soon as she realizes he owns her heart, he breaks it with the news that he is returning to England to marry. In a moment of insanity, she kisses him and he kisses her back, but quickly comes to his senses and breaks the kiss and leaves her.

Eight years later, Sam is now the widowed Lady Carruthers and is once again in Egypt when she crosses paths with Edge again. Their time apart has been riddled with heartbreak – Sam suffered an unhappy marriage because she couldn’t love her husband and he punished her by using his natural daughter to taunt her and then broke her heart anew when the little girl passed away. Her only real joy is illustrating pictures for the Desert Boy books, a wildly popular series that has taken England by storm and the author is unknown – even to Sam. Edge didn’t fare much better, he is also widowed, his wife was unhappy and left him after giving birth to a son, Jacob. Edge loved Jacob with all his heart and was broken when he died. The only reason he has come out of seclusion is to find his missing brother Rafe, the Duke of Greybourne. This has lead him back to Egypt and Sam.

He plans to stay only a day, but is convinced to stay a little longer and let his uncle Poppy’s sources find some new leads. He gets his lead and is preparing to leave, when Sam proposes they marry. Stating they like each other and both want a family. To her surprise – he agrees and they marry within days. But he makes it clear, his main priority is finding Rafe.

Sam wonders if she has made a huge mistake, after an amazing wedding night, she feels Edge slipping away and he ignores her for almost the entire journey, he finally talks to her and she thinks they will be happy, but then he abandons her almost as soon as they reach London. When he returns, they again seem to make headway and then she learns the secret he has been keeping from her and it threatens to ruin everything.

I thought this was a good story, but it did drag a little, I wished the author gave more background about his brother and I had a hard time believe that both Sam and Edge were so completely oblivious to the other’s feelings, not to mention, I felt the title was completely wrong for this story. But all in all, it was a sweet story of second chances, healing and love. With wonderful characters, warm love scenes, a little heartache, a little mystery and a lovely epilogue. This is the third book in The Sinful Sinclairs, but you can easily read this title as a standalone.

A Mackenzie Clan Christmas by Jennifer Ashley

A Mackenzie Clan Christmas: A Mackenzie Yuletide/A Mackenzie Clan Gathering (Mackenzies & McBrides, #8.5 & 11.5)A Mackenzie Clan Christmas: A Mackenzie Yuletide/A Mackenzie Clan Gathering by Jennifer Ashley

Tracy’s rating: 5 of 5 stars

Series:Mackenzies & McBrides, #8.5 & 11.5

Release Date: October 29, 2019

This anthology has two Mackenzie Family Novellas – A MacKenzie Yuletide (an all new MacKenzie Family novella) & A Mackenzie Clan Gathering (released in 2016 and is a XL novella

A Mackenzie Yuletide:

As usual, the MacKenzies descend on Kilmorgan Castle to celebrate the Yuletide season and Hogmanay. Mac is up in his studio painting when a noise disturbs his concentration, he goes to investigate and finds a ghost! But as he approaches her, she disappears, unconcerned, Mac goes to bed and mentions it to the family at breakfast. Some of the children, decide to build a ghost trap – no sure if the ghost is in fact a ghost or if it is another break in attempt.

Uninterested in ghosts, Ian is consumed with tracking down a necklace that he wants to give to Beth for Hogmanay, but the trail he followed has hit a wall and he calls in his half-brother Lloyd Fellows, a chief supervisor at Scotland Yard to help him.

Ian’s son Jamie is also trying to find the necklace in hopes of impressing his father. He gets his cousin Gavina and his father’s valet Curry to help him. Jamie and Gavina are pulled into the ghost hunt when Jamie sees the ghost after Gavina breaks in to Ian’s study.
With mysteries to solve and all the MacKenzies in attendance, this will turn out to be a very interesting and exciting Yuletide!!

I loved this novella, it was entertaining, well written, interesting and a lot of fun. Catching up with all the MacKenzies and seeing their children growing up was heartwarming and satisfying. And as always, I loved reading about Ian and Beth, they truly are one of my all-time favorite fictional couples and I never get tired of reading about them. This was a really wonderful read and while it is set at Christmastime, I didn’t really consider it a “holiday” read.

The Mackenzie Clan Gathering

This very long novella is the second book in this collection and it was released in 2016, the blurb reads as follows:

Ian Mackenzie is awakened at Kilmorgan Castle one night to find robbers stealing the priceless art collection of his oldest brother, Hart. Since Ian and Beth are the only ones in resident at Kilmorgan at the moment, Ian decides he must find the art and the culprits before the family shows up for Hart’s birthday gathering. With Inspector Fellows and Beth, he investigates, though Ian is somewhat worried by Beth’s late husband’s brother, a retired missionary, who decides to visit. Does John Ackerley hold the “cure” to Ian’s madness? And can Ian discover what has happened to Hart’s treasures, and who is targeting the Mackenzies before the enemy strikes again?

Return to Kilmorgan Castle to visit the Victorian branch of the Mackenzie family, and catch up on the brothers and friends, their children, and their lives.
