Set in 1816 in Ireland and England, this is the story of Irishman Miles Cavanagh, heir to the Lord of Kilgoran, who finds himself the guardian to Felicity Monahan, a twenty-year-old heiress who is intent on marrying a man she does not like so she can look after the man’s son who she loves. Refusing to let Felicity throw her life away, Miles kidnaps his ward and carries her off to England. Along the way, he realizes he wants Felicity for himself.
Much of this well told story involves Miles bickering with his rebellious ward who hides a secret she refuses to share, constantly putting herself in danger. Her way of handling that secret may try the reader’s patience. The story of the carriage ride from the coast to their destination in England was very well done even if it was difficult to endure.
There’s much talk of horses but only a few shots of them. There are more scenes with cats…cats with engaging personalities. There are enough scenes in Ireland to give the story an Irish feel. This story is part of a series and, until they reach England, the characters in those do not play a part. But since they eventually do, this is one I’d recommend reading in order.
