The Pursuit

What was to be a grand adventure for Melissa MacGregor - an escape from the wilds of her Scottish home into the whirl of the London social scene - seems to pale before the promise in the passionate gaze of Lincoln Ross Burnett. Though they exchange but a few words before parting after a chance encounter on her grandfather's lands, Melissa instantly knows this bold stranger is her destiny, while Lincoln realizes his heart has been claimed forever and he will never be complete until Melissa MacGregor is his bride.
But there are serious obstacles impeding the well-smitten Viscount Cambury's pursuit of glorious romance: 16 of them - all big and brawny, six named Ian and all named MacFearson. The bane of Lincoln's youth, Melissa's stifling, show more disapproving uncles are now determined to rob him of his newfound happiness. Yet he is equally resolved to confront the peril - and to pursue his exquisite obsession all the way to London...and to the ends of the earth, if necessary. show less

This was a great read, even the second time around. I rarely reread books, but sometimes I forget that I've read a book. (You have no idea how helpful GR has been for me!) So I end up reading it again. This was a funny, sweet book, with none of the over-the-top violence between the man and woman that Lindsey puts in some of her books.

Typical Lindsey historical. Overblown emotional yarn with great characters. Quick read.

Readable romance but it seems to have been written by the numbers, almost as if the author had contracted to write it and just kept a checklist although she wasn't really interested in the outcome. It wouldn't make me want to hunt up any more of her books.

I enjoy Johanna Lindsay's approach to historical romances where the story and character development is more important than graphic love scenes.This is the third in the Sherring Cross trilogy. The last third of the book I found tragged. The uncles took up too much space for my liking. But it came together in the last 2 chapters.

I was a little disappointed by this one. The characters seemed rather lackluster compared to other books by the author.

I didn't really care for this book. I normally love her books... but just didn't get into this one. I gave 2 stars.
