Noble Passions, Book Four
Kidnapped and held prisoner by menacing Scottish brigand, the notorious McCloud, Violet Wyeth does her best to persevere…and resist his rakish charms. But when she realizes The McCloud is really Ewan St. Andrews, the boy who once saved her life, the boy who once kissed her and made her heart flutter, she is lost.
Ewan has every intention of marrying Lady Kaitlin MacAllister. He desperately needs the entrée into the ton this bride can provide. But when his bride is delivered—bound and gagged—it’s not Kaitlin. It’s Violet Wyeth—the girl who betrayed him and ruined his life when he was a boy. He keeps her, determined to punish her for her sins. But when he discovers the truth about what really happened so long ago, and seething passion rises between them, he can no longer hold on to his rusty grudge. By the time he realizes how much he loves Violet—that he always has—he’s lost her.
All he can do is follow her. Follow her into the bowels of hell—and partake in the torment of the glittering London Season, where the harpies are far more dangerous than a Scottish brigand.
Brigand
is book four in the Noble Passions series by Sabrina York. It is a historical romance,
which is not my usual genre, but I really love this series! It can be
read as a standalone. There is a little overlapping of the story from
Dark Duke, but nothing that really spoils it. I think it enhanced that
story, seeing it from another perspective.
Ewan
McCloud is a... you guessed it...a brigand.... a rough and tumble, self made man. He
made his money by stealing and winning it. He is trying to marry well
so that his little sister can be welcomed into the London society to
secure herself a good marriage. Enter a horrible man willing to sell his
sister to Ewan. Before she can be sold, the sister disappears. When
the brother kidnaps her, he brings Violet to Ewan instead. Normally
this would be easy to clear up, but Ewan and Violet have a past, and he
wants to hurt Violet. He blames Violet for his family's misfortune in the past.
Violet
is the oldest of a huge family of boys, but she is a stranger to hard
work. She is a lady. Ewan makes her work hard to “earn her keep”.
Violet is no shrinking... violet (ahhhh, I see what you did there,
Sabrina!!) She doesn’t stand down, and I absolutely love her. Even
though Ewan is kind of a jerk (Sabrina York style) you still see why,
and you grow to love him.
There
are major obstacles to work through. Ewan has a burning desire to be
accepted by London society, and that includes marriage to a Lady. He
doesn’t think anyone other than the one that he has already arranged
will do, so he plans to go ahead with it. Violet is best friends with
said Lady and wants to keep her from marrying Ewan, because she knows
how much this union is unwanted. Plus, her growing feelings for Ewan
make her jealous. There are other twists thrown in to make you say
WHAT??
I
promise, if you even think you might like a historical romance, you
should try this one. Sabrina York writes hot, sexy, and hysterically
funny books that will keep you entertained. Plus, if you don’t learn at
least one new word when you read one of her books, you just aren’t
trying!
I give it five stars!
