The Heir
The many wondrous gifts of Johanna Lindsey—her fiery and endearing characters, her enthralling stories, her ingenious blending of passion, wit, and emotion—are all on glorious display in this unforgettable tale about an unwanted title and an unexpected love. Has anyone in London ever taken part in the coming-out Season with less enthusiasm than Sabrina? Luckily, the most sought-after lady in the city has agreed to usher this young, lovely country girl through the perils and pitfalls of her all-important first season. Dashing highlander Duncan MacTavish is even less keen to be in London. Having recently learned he is the sole heir of an English marquis, Duncan is now required to assume his grandfather's title and estates—and to marry Sabrina's ravishing, viper-tongued guide, who has been heard to make scathing statements in public about her "Scottish barbarian" groom-to-be. His unwanted betrothal, however, has brought Duncan into close proximity with the enchanting Sabrina—a kindred spirit whose wit delights him . . . and whose essence is the exquisite stuff of dreams. But duty, station, and a secret that dwells in the lady's past forbid Sabrina's and Duncan's desired union—unless true love can somehow miraculously find a way.

Duncan is the only heir between his Scottish and English families. The tug of war started before his birth and has continued throughout his life unbeknownst to him. He's grown up learning to manage the Scottish side of his families estate and is now being called home to England to meet his English grandfather for the first time and his betrothed (who he didn't know about). Duncan is angry and not about to passively accept his choices being made for him, but out of respect for a promise made by his deceased mother he will at least visit his family in England.
Sabrina is a simple country girl making her London debut, she finds the city intolerable, but makes the best of it to please her aunts who have raised her from a young girl. When an old ridiculous family scandal resurfaces she is gladly forced back to the country where she meets and makes friends with the highland barbarian next door.
In my unprofessional opinion this book is written well, all the t's crossed all the i's dotted, the dialogue flows, the characters have depth. The flirting and emotional connection are good, the steamy scenes were ok, not great. The storyline is where I had some problems, it spiraled out of control into eye rolling silliness towards the end. To me it felt like a lazy way to fill a decent book with stupid behavior that cheapened the characters. It was still worth reading, but I am saddened that it went that way. I love her Mallory Family series the best and I haven't found to many of her other books that can compare to those.
Enjoy!
